Nipsey Hussle

Ermias Joseph Asghedom also known as Nipsey Hussle was shot and killed outside his clothing store in LA. Nipsey was known as an icon in the rap game but also was an icon in LA. The Marathon Clothing store were Nipsey was killed was a clothing store he opened in order to give ex-criminals a chance to have a job opportunity. Before he was killed, he was at his clothing store meeting with a friend that had just finished doing 20 years in prison. According to many articles, he was going to give his friends some new clothing and offer him a job. Nipsey was out to make a difference in the LA community. He was actually suppose to meet with the police department the next day to sit down and figure out how they could stop all the gang violence. A person that was well respected was taken away so soon. He left behind three kids and his girlfriend Lauren London. One thing people will remember what nip always said was ” The game is going to test you, never fold , what’s in you, they can’t take away”. I was able to ask a Warner student, Vernon Pickney what he thought about Nip Hussle and he responded, “I didn’t really start listening to his music until now but I knew that he was an icon”. He went on to say; “Nip Hussle was out to make a difference in the community and in the world and it’s just sad that he was killed at the age of 33”. Nipsey Hussle memorial service was held today in the Staple Center. The whole arena was filled and there was even people outside trying to get into the arena. Nip will always be remembered by everyone and his legacy will forever live through the lives that he encountered.
