I can honestly say that whenever I listen to today's music I love the rhythm and feel music production is at an all time high, but a majority of the music lacks the messages and soul that the previous generation thrived in. Hip hop has always had people displaying fun, braggadocious rhymes about cars women and jewelry, but i guess the adulation of taking prescription drugs, women practically naked in videos, and the lack of originality that these mumble rappers display is a red flag that we need to steer the ship in the righr direction. Nipsey Hussle, also not perfect by any means displayed signs that he was a torch bearer for this generation and could lea by example of how u turn a negative Into a positive with his entrepreneurship and endeavors in own community by investing in businesses and employing locals that would probably be forgotten by the system they were brought up in. All in all he was a stand up dude and I feel the current state of hip hop feels cheated out of having to see the full potential of one of its greatest artist and human beings taken too soon. Out of respect for the community, I feel that if 2k is in touch with the culture as they shown throughout the years, then I think it's only right that we pay hommage to Neighborhood Nip. Hell...we could even incorporate his namesake or his likeness in the middle of the neighborhood instead of that Allen Iverson statue...or leave Allen and also add nip in there as well. Rename the neighborhood...Hussletown

I feel ya.

They could add him to the mycareer story or make him the barber orso.
Would be cool.

Or give him a store where you can get certain things.

Nipsey was great for the community!
