any word on a motive yet? I'm sure it's probably something trivial because the younger generation tends to kill over more trivial things. It used to be you settle your differences with your fists and leave it at that whatever happened. No, a kid loses a fistfight and goes to get a gun (happened last year in seattle.) and kills the other guy. Too much ego these days.

I don't believe in conspiracy theories. But it looks like an assassination to me. Especialy now that Christopher Darden magically has taken over as the killers(whose hair over grew magically in two days) lawyer. Plus the killing happening a day before Nipsey was to have a meeting with the Los Angeles Police Department on combating gang violence.

^^I don't see anyone on this thread who hasn't had any compassion for Nipsey. Nothing bad has been said at all, that concerns Nipsey.

Exactly.

It's the constant attention grab that gets on my nerves. We are a captive audience for a narcisssist, no matter how he fluffs it into the topic. Start a blog about yourself and all your doings, ugh.

So true, and I agree, too much everything these days, egos, anger, hatred, politics, fighting, bickering, etc....the list goes on and on!

Nipsey Hussle Memorial to Be Held Thursday at Staples Center

A memorial service for Nipsey Hussle will be held Thursday at the 21,000-capacity Staples Center in the rapper’s hometown of Los Angeles, a source close to the situation confirms to Variety. Reps for the artist’s label and the Staples Center did not immediately respond to requests for comment; the news was first reported by TMZ.

According to the TMZ report, Hussle’s family met with Staples Center management this week and ushers have been asked to reserve the day; tickets will be sold online. The venue will have to mobilize quickly for the service, as the final game of the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team takes place there the day before. Hussle was a dedicated Los Angeles Lakers fan and was a frequent courtside presence at their games. Lakers player LeBron James honored Hussle before Thursday’s game by wearing a shirt imprinted with an illustration of his face.

I will be planning on attending to pay my condolences to this special man....

^^So am I, maybe I'll run into you.

^See anyone can say anything online, doesn't make it true.

Accused killer Eric Holder shot the Grammy nominee once and had begun to walk away when the wounded Hussle said something to him to the effect of, “You shot me, you got me, I’m good,” TMZ reported, quoting what it said were sources at the scene.

An enraged Holder then turned around and squeezed off more shots in the direction of the 33-year-old rapper, killing him, the report said.

Surveillance video of the...ting shows Hussle raising his head after the initial shot. The gunman can then be seen approaching Hussle as he lays on the ground and firing two more shots in his direction before kicking him and fleeing towards an alley.

[/ Poor Nipsey 😔

Just hearing these things is sad first of all because life is not regarded as precious till its lost it seems. But the fact that this "if witness accounts are true" is a plain hit, mafia style, there was something there, this is not a fan gone wild or stalker, with the way he took him out there seems to be "history".

Fans are also invited to the service, they are limited to 4 free tickets.

Intersection of Slauson and Crenshaw to be named in honor of slain rapper Nipsey Hussle

The intersection of West Slauson Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard in the economically deprived Hyde Park neighborhood will be named in honor of the late rapper Nipsey Hussle.

Los Angeles City Councilman Marqueece Harris-Dawson made the announcement on Tuesday. The intersection will be called Ermias "Nipsey Hussle" Asghedom Square, according to Harris-Dawson.

"Ermias Asghedom, known as 'Nipsey Hussle,' was an icon and West Coast hero," Harris-Dawson said in a statement.

Did you go?

I watched the live feed, It was a heart felt ceremony.

May the Lord give his family the strength to get thru this.

I agree. I watched it on TV and kind of wished that I hadn't, because it made me sad. The mother is unbelievably strong, but you can't help but feel the hurt and pain that his family and those that loved him, is going through.

^^ Is there any way we can stop you from spouting your every move & social calendar on the org??? You make yourself the topic of every thread, even a memorial.

This continual navel gazing through others ploy is disturbing and pathetic.

DJ Khaled ft. Nipsey Hussle & John Legend ~ Higher (new single)

Good song Nipsey predicted his own death.

"Emptied out the clip, it was broad day
Fuck niggas always gotta learn the hard way?
We gon' tape it off if we ball play
Put a half a moon crescent on your boy face
Police hit the lights, that's a car chase
Lookin' back at my life made my heart race
Dance with the devil and test all faith
I was thinkin' chess moves, but it was God grace
Crooked ass whoever, till we all straight
With no shame my peep game and it's all faith
South Central state of mind, high crime rate
Homicide, hate, gang bangin' and get you all day
(Yeah) But look at my faith"

Nipsey's daughter is involved in a heated custody battle between her mother & Nipsey's sister(whom I saw doing something I NEVER seen anyone do in the funeral procession I attended).

I thought at first the caption said Nipsey Russle...

I didn't think his daughters mother was at the service or any where near.

She wasn't and wasn't invited.
