Nipsey you deserved that grammy not Cardi B. You are the winner.

Nipsey Hussle wasn't a gangsta. That man was a MOVEMENT!

We Eritreans 🇪🇷 loves you .. east Africa Ermias will always be remembered

"The environment turned me cold, naturally..that's not who I am naturally." DEEEEEEEEP!!!!!

This video is heartbreaking. To see Nipsey talk so profoundly about his maturation and recognizing the pitfalls of violence, then be gunned down in the midst of living his life as a powerful man. Tragedy of the highest level.

Talk about never judging a book by its cover

The more I see any videos of Nipsey Husle the more I get hurt. God rest his soul in peace, Nipsey spent 3 months with us in Eritrea in 2014.

Nip’s death hit hard. A wise man, a father, and a businessman who believed in educating his people. 💙

He was a prophet!! Name Ermias - meaning God will rise. Thank you for your message brother 💯👍🏾💙💙🙏

this is the most well composed, articulate and intelligent rapper I have ever heard speak. the pac of our generation for sure. RIP nipsey hussle

“You looking for yourself, just on the other side of town” What a powerful statement

Let’s take a look back at Nipsey’s life .He came from an African American and and African lineage .He embraced his african roots and talked about how his trip to Africa pretty much started shaping his whole perception about life .(Meanwhile some Africans don’t even want to admit they are from Africa after they make it out of there ) . He grew up in a neighborhood where all odds were against him but he overcame and gave back .He could have taken a record deal, settled for some money and gotten himself and his family out of the hood but he was selfless and a man of his words so he worked hard to build his own record label /businesses (The Marathon) and started making an impact in his community and even tho he didn’t have the fame like most of these rappers ,he still kept going because he wasn’t doing it for himself . He released just one album after all these years of hustling and titled it “victory lap” .It’s like he almost knew it was going to be his only album after all these years of running his marathon. All these years he has been living and teaching us through his music and interviews but most of us wasn’t paying attention and I bet if he wasn’t taken from us the way he was (which is senseless) it might not have hit us the way it’s hitting us now and making us pay attention the way we all are now . Looking back I’m starting to believe this was his true purpose in life .Now it’s up to us to continue the marathon and bring to life more Ermias (God will rise /uplift ), Joseph (betrayed by a brother) Asghedom AkA Nipsey Hussle . THE MARATHON CONTINUES . Empower one another and let us step into our greatness collectively just like how he wanted it . ( P.S I usually don’t comment on social media or listen to rap music anymore so when I got the notification on my phone about his death , I thought to myself ohh another rapper has been killed (which is what the conditioning of this world does to us and lesson learned)but later saw more post of him and the DR. Sebi after work and then his interviews and I started paying attention and started hitting me as if he was an immediate family and I haven’t been the same since he passed .Its been 10 days and I’m still stuck with everything Nipsey hussle . He was too real for the world we live in now ) You truly are “THA GREAT “ !!!!!

We Must PROTECT nipsey hussle at all costs 💎!

Why have we been looking for another 2pac when he was right in front of our faces 😢😢💙💙🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯

I'm from West Africa 🇲🇷 so shout out to you Nip and all brothers and sisters in East Africa. Long Live Neighborhood Nip, may god bless your soul.

15:00 he starts his talk about Africa and the importance of family. Glad you went and got that culture instilled in you. R.I.P Nipsey

This should be shown in every black school. So deep. Is there any other rapper that can have this kind of intellectual thoughts on a talk show ?

They may have killed his earthly body but his spirit, soul, and music will live FOREVER!! RIP young Man, you have changed my life in a matter of days.....

Did anybody recognize the level of silence on that stage when Nip was speaking!💯 greatness

It's sad how there are so many almost Nipsey Hussles out here, but because they aren't famous or don't rap. No one takes them serious. In other words, appreciate that Nip near you. The one in your family, in your neighborhood... but to Hussles credit, he made his lane regardless

Nipsey drops waaay more knowledge than he gets credit for. When is the last artist of any genre that was able to break down Maslow's hierarchy of needs this clearly and apply it to gang culture?

I hurt realizing that he's gone. What a brilliant mind we lost. Rest in heaven. This one hurt deep.

Nipsey hussle was one of the most important black people in American history. Intelligent, visionary, positive, woke and there for his people. His transition from a gang member to his position as a famous rapper and his vision ... All the changes he could have brought. He's the most important person killed after Malcolm x, MLK, no matter who killed him

🇳🇬 love to see another brother connecting with his African heritage

Inspiration like A Mf s/o Nipsey Hussle

Why would someone ERASE a brother like this from our world? WHY!?!

When Nipsey spoke about Africa it reminded me of Nas speaking about Africa in the movie Belly

"Y'all heard of this dude named Maslow??" So dope

R.I.P Nipsey, they’ll never be another you. My condolences to his loved ones. 🙏🕊

Nipsey is obviously well read and went to the school of self education like Malcolm.

Sometimes I listen to Nip's old interviews to gain knowledge and be inspired and uplifted. #TMC 🏁

Im eritrean, born in america cali, Nipsey hussle was such an amazing person my father who was born in africa was the one that told me.He was so rich but so humble, and he didn't talk about multiple girls choppa to a head, he spoke facts, i only 12 but even i can tell how much wisdom.

RIP Nipsey Hussle you were nothing short of amazing, intelligent, articulate and compassionate may your light burn bright FOREVER...........

This interview breaks my heart to pieces. He had such a grand vision for his community. So much to unpack and process in what he said. RIP

I can't believe it's been almost 4 YEARS... Long live Nipsey! ❤️💐

The African Father shaped this man!

kids... you proud to be black yet? RIP KING.

Don't care who doesn't agree with this, but we as an African American society who loved and supported him fully, still failed this man. Real Talk. I surely hope we learned from this in a major way. Everyone can wish the best through Social media, but until we stand up and carry his legacy, and his family up on our shoulders, we haven't learned anything. We failed to protect his level of intelligence, influence, and his amazing body of work. The way he carried himself with such passion and purpose, especially FOR US, and the edification of his community and his people, was nothing short of incredible. It Hurts deeply man, Real Deep. We Love You Nipsey, Rest in paradise.

RIP Nip....great interview

The loss of Nipsey Hussle feels the same way hearing about the loss of Tupac and BIG to me. This is a moment that will reshapes the HipHop Culture. Devastating. May he live forever🙏🏾✊🏾.

Nipsey is a student to life. That’s so attractive

Rosenberg spent 50% of his time on the phone, very disrespectful. Not knowing this would be the last time Nipsey would interview at Hot 97.

“I rather be sober and focus “❤️🖤💚

I rise to finish my nursing career..I rise thank you brother... I rise

Soon As He Said “Maslow”....Ya Boy Aint Regular Smart....U Gotta Be DEEP In Them Books 4 Dat 1.

Just listening to him talk, u can see how different he was from a regular “Rapper” he talked like a boss, a business man who wanted more than what people wanted to give him. Pure elevation in everything he did and wanted to do, no slacking and that’s why he reached the level he did. Damn shame a peasant took down a King 👑 and left the people to mourn 🙏🏾💙🏁

Nipsey was such a honorable beautiful human being. 💙♿️™️©️ watch over us king

OMG he was not just a Rapper but also a very Smart business man and Teacher RIH

Ebro's energy this entire interview is overwhelming. Nipsey was obviously a legend during the interview (as we, the public, always knew him). But seeing Ebro's response to Nipsey's presence is important.

October 2019 and I'm still watching this. RIP Nip🏁

Jamaicans are from Africa. It was just a ship stop earlier than the U.S.

This guy knowledge is amazing I don’t know why people dislike him

Never seen any negative comments about him everybody seems to love him

I could listen to this Guy all day RIP Nipsey

Damn he talm bout Maslows Law i had to take psychology to learn that yea he def self taught n so damn smart💪💯

This interview shows how deep this brother really was. We lost another 2pac

Nipsey's Victory Lap album is the truth. I'm East coast to the heart, but that west coast joint is a certified banga.

Nip always demonstrated Greatness, Prolific, & Humility. I am blessed to travel back to these videos for inspiration.. #Tmc🏁🏁

Crazy how this is on my timeline after Chad Boseman passes away , and to hear how Nipsey was talking about the movie Black Panther for example on his heritage .. RIP NIPSEY AND CHAD BOSEMAN🙌🏽🙏🏽💯RIP to all the ones that passed away 2020🙌🏽

That was the fastest hour of my life ... time flies when you try to soak up good game

Dam he is profoundly deep with an futuristic perspective...He knows his worth and he seems to give 1000% to his fans and the world...I have downloaded several songs and I have never heard of him until now...True artist...We have lost one of the greatest ones....RIP Mr. Nipsey Hussle...

he was referring Abraham Maslow.... his intelligence, his swag and his attitude represent the true definition of a black man. RIP Ermias, you will forever be missed.

He's soul is so pure, his inner person was on point, his vision were unique and with true thoughtful meanings. But like they say the legendary never dies

Was so proud to buy Victory Lap. Was completely broke when Crenshaw came out. Inspired by Nipsey interviews during that time, and got it on DatPiff for free. Loved it so much. Years later, so proud to have upgraded in life some. Bought Victory Lap on release day. Work in progress.

I can't believe not one person spoke on how beautiful he is inside and out. MAY HE REST IN PEACE

Just came here to be wit the homie’s spirit

Ive watched this 5 times since his death and that part when he speaks on gang culture and telling ur homie the truth is so deep but it hurts my heart to hear him say it 🙏💙 May u rest in powerful peace king Nip 👑👊

This cat had a quality about him. Now I understand. Be careful out there when you've awaken and are in a position to enlighten others. I never listened to the man or his music but after hearing this it sounds like a great loss. R.I.P.

Am Jamaican and am telling u we lost a king.. the world lost a legend.... nipsey KING👑

I didn't want this conversation to end Nippsey could of ran for president

The more I learn about him the more I am speechless and like 😥. I hate he didn’t live longer 🤦🏾‍♀️

I wish I watched this before he passed. I had no idea what type of person he was.

This is probably one of the best Nipsey interviews I've seen to date. This guy is really genuine. I believe he's going to do more now that he's made the transition than he could ever do in the flesh. All things happen for a reason. In my opinion he trumps Pac as far as being for the people. Maybe it was his maturity. Maybe it was the trip to African, experiencing his culture. Whatever the case, he had a specific path.

I could listen to Nipsey forever. Brilliance in such a cool composed delivery. It pains me so much that he’s gone. I’m just so grateful to be in a place with my spirit that I realize he did what he was meant to do and went home. Regardless of what we know, he fulfilled and showed us so much more in his short life than most do ever. 💔🙏

Damn this is a good guy. Mad respect for him pushing STEM in his community.

Nipsey is a very good speaker like 50. Very intelligent speaker. Who says our hip hop artists are not intellectual?

Anyone else thinking about nip right now? God put him on my heart the past few days. I love his music and I’m sad his death was my introduction to him. Shout out to his brother Sam keeping their legacy alive and making sure the marathon continues

He is so right, none of us that grew up in South Central LA started that way, the environment in which we had to walk to school gave us no other options. It was either "Fight" or be harmed.

Nipsey stay putting in the work man. Good Dude, contributes to the youth & makes good music. Glad his album is getting a Dope reception all around not just within his Dedicated Fanbase. Salute to Nipsey one of the Dopest artist out of the west coast over that 6/7 years 👊🏿🙏🏿

The level of intellect Nipsey has is refreshing to the current stat of hip hop

🏁💙🏁 (1-of-1) Still learning from you!! RIP NIPSEY

Yes... Rest in Peace to a Great Artist, Father, Leader, Well Spoken, Activist.. Hats off to A King!!

His words at 22:30 are bone-chilling and extremely important-and I’m so many different ways. “You lookin for yourself. Get em” Crazy

Yo.. did this dude just bring up the Maslow Hierarchy of needs? Whoa. To understand the vulnerabilities of people at a scientific level is mad impressive. Especially when you are trying to correct them. Salute sir. The Marathon WILL continue.

this 58 yr old woman is inspired. i enjoyed this interview

"The hood love you but behind your back they pray for the day A bullet hit your heart and ambulances take you away That ain't love it's hate, think of all the mothers at wakes Whose sons you killed, and you ain't got a cut on your face?" - Artist: Nas - Song: Purple

this interview was food

No wonder Nipsey is business minded!!! HES ERITREAN 🇪🇷. AFRICAN HUSTLE MENTALITY

He elevated the hood and hip hop. He’s in a class by himself

Love his interviews... so knowledgeable and mad truth.. his conversation is real .. the way he dissect topics and the analogies he use.. he speaking psychology (Maslow) and street knowledge.. this brother was definitely rare, and we were just seeing a glimmer of his greatness to come, when you watch his different interviews you can see the growth & change that evolved in him ..Dope💙🏁

I’ve been on Nipsey since Marathon, and I’ve listened to every album continuously since Sunday. I’m enlightened by his spirit and wisdom, and I’m 48 years old. It just goes to show, you can learn something from anyone is you LISTEN! I love you Hussle The Great!

I can't believe I actually saw him randomly about 10 yrs ago at a restaurant... I saw him and his friends seated right next to me so I acknowledged him and he shook my hand. That was that but I've been thinking about it a lot lately since he passed away. Like as if it were meant to be a profound moment of my life. R.I.P. Nipsey. You will be missed.

@ 45:20 when he said he stopped smoking weed shocked me. I didn't know he stopped at that time.

This was a great interview! So many gems to unpack from this conversation. RIP Nipsey Hussle 🙏

They killing all the knowledgeable ones RIP Nipsey Hussle.

He should’ve been protected at all costs 💔

I never heard of Nipsey before his death, but after watching this video, I respect him deeply after this video.

It dont feel like he gone when I watch his interviews. Its many like him that deserve they acknowledgment. Blessings Nip 🙏🙏🙏

He was definitely a gem. We lost a real one.

23:17 gave me chills. "You looking for yourself" on a mission. The same man! Whew that hit home
