Neighborhood Nip sat down with the house Marc Ecko built to wax poetics on Eritrea, getting Game and Snoop co-signs, the XXL cover, and his feelings on rappers reppin’ Bloods…
Complex: Does it bother you at all when certain rappers like Lil Wayne or Jim Jones rep Bloods?
Nipsey Hussle: If you 35, 28, or 30 years old, and you decide you’re gonna pick up a rag and start bangin’, and you can look yourself in the mirror and you still feel like you’re a man? That’s cool, do your thing. My concern is the niggas that are really in the shit. I’m more focused on giving solutions and inspiration more than anything. But to answer your question, I feel like it’s fraudulent. Straight up. If you ain’t put on to this shit, you wasn’t courted on, you ain’t going to the back of the buildings to fight, your homies didn’t get put on, you not from a gang. Not only are you not from a gang, if you ain’t press a line and put in work, not necessarily kill nobody but you know, put yours on the line. It ain’t just you a Blood when it’s convenient, cause you got a camera and it looks cool. When you around 100 Crips, you still a Blood. When 40-Glocc and them run up on you, you still a Blood. And I ain’t talking about Wayne. I got respect for they movement and I like the dude as an artist. But I’m just saying on some gangbang shit, when you go to the county jail and you walk in the court tank and it’s 50 of your enemies, you still gonna say the 60s (Rollin 60 Neighborhood Crips). Or you not a gangbanger. Your homies gonna hear about it, beat you up, kick you in your ass, and you was for nothin’. I know in the real world in this shit, a lot of niggas wouldn’t make it. So like I said, it’s an overstanding I got about it. I look at it like these niggas is totally out of character.
Roffle.

The Neighborhood Nip keepin it 100
with they fake ass lmao
Gangs are for pussies anybody can be tough when they have a bunch of dudes with them. Nipsey is like 140 pounds if he took a dude behind a building to fight him 1 on 1 they would have to scrape his lil ass off the ground. I can’t stand listening to gang bangers talk about how tough they are. It doesn’t make you a man cause you’re in a gang it actually makes you look childish. If you want to be a man get a job, take care of your family, take care of your kids, and most importantly be able to take care of yourself. That’s the definition of a man. No grown man in my mind still chills on the corner with his “homies” or walks around with a hanky. Real fucking talk!
so zebras are pussies because they hang out in big groups? 140lb guys gotta band together…
^^^^^^^
Probably grew up in a cul-de-sac
@hectik
Btw ‘real’ gang bangers don’t tweet on twitter all day and do interviews for magazines. Somebody needs to tell this wack ass nigga that it’s not 1990 anymore gang banging in hiphop is wack and he sounds like a clown.
^^^ Actually I grew up in Camden, NJ and I recently moved to NYC and if you don’t know anything about Camden google the most dangerouse cities in the US you will find it. Unlike you I was raised the right way with morals it has nothing to do with where you come from. If you feel like there is something wrong with my views of what a man is maybe you should take that up with your parents because they failed you at some point.
i hate this wannabe snoop nigga hes sooo fckin sad dog… does he not know Gangster rappers are lames especially coming from Cali its even harder for ya wack azz
gangs are for people with daddy issues. Seriously, check the numbers.
@Hectik
You probably just lied, but its ok, go on living in your fantasy world
@Hecktik i feel you dude…i come frm chicago and we known extremely well for our gangs and i actually just about have the same views as you do.
@blazer YOU SPEAK TRUTH TOO! lol i was just thinkin about gangbangers i kno and how they ALL only grew up with they mom who had 3 diff kids wit 3 diff niggas n shit lol.
its sad…we really should do better, but us black people as a whole aren’t so its whatever…im not black anymore…im human.
you ideot hetick
everbody in a gang but not all gangs are the same
some make money some stay in the street some control the goverment
others are poltical parties or the lobbist etc
a gang is a group of people thats it what defines them is the aim
u lot are gay he didnt create gangs he grew up in the element of gangs theres nothing he can change about it thats the predominant culture in his area of la and if you listen to what the nigga says you would relise he 100 and probably better than half of dem niggas you be listening too
@Harharhar you’re a loser son! Go smoke your trees and be a nobody the rest of your life because that’s probably all you have known your whole life. See my life isn’t a fantasy, your life just sucks!
@realness I know about the gang problems in Chicago it’s real sad that dudes just waste their lives doing nothing and that whole “im not black anymore, im human” was funny as shit. lol
lol harharhar runs his mouth on every damn post when in reality he prolly some 5’6 white boy from arizona. quit trolling you bitch nigga. and get a life homie, you ALWAYS on this site… everytime I check for some shit your bitch ass is posting, go get some pussy you lame ass nigga.
I dont thin Nip is tryin to say hes hard.. i think hes just higlighting that its dum to jump on to something you werent even raised in just becasue its cool. Sum people are born into it and are a target by associaation not necessarily a “gang member” so i think nip is sayin y would u want that for urself as a grown man who was free of being born with the stigma of having to associate urself with gangs due to family/location ties.
Harharhar said this on March 31st, 2010 at 2:44 pm <<oh and eh….*slow sigh*…there are cul de sacs all over L.A you shud actuall see some of the houses in "gang" neigbourhoods.
@brohbah
Its called a blackberry, it allows me to always be connected to the internet.
Oh and Hectik, I will go and smoke some weed, because its something I enjoy doing, and im pretty happy with my life, not that you would know anything about it. Its funny that you talk about being a nobody, when in reality we’re all just names in a comment section.
hahah nigga look how quick you responded!!! you stay trolling this site. get a life nigga if you on your blackberry all day call some damn girls up and help yourself out, you clearly need it
@brohbah
You just contradicted yourself, look how fast you responded.
LMAO @ all the above
yeah difference is i’m chillin in between classes catching up on my beats… while your bitch ass is on here alllll dayyyy lonnnnng. btw that royce track with bun b goes hard to all my other niggas on here.
loool^^^the above comments
c’mon u know hahaha is a troll.
@brohbah
We all know you’re white, no need to pretend
@Harharhar
give me a kiss u fruit.
@everybody.
You know they’re trolling and you still feed them.
C’mon now….smh….

Co-sign harharhar I’m on here from blackberry too and I got a girlfriend, a job, and I’m in college…u can call text and stay on da internet at da same time and the phone stays on me all day so its different than some herb living in front of his computer/laptop all day
JonnieHayward <<i think your trying to make urself feel better. You dont have a girl C'MON SON. stop nut hugging. like seriously.
One.
JonnieHayward <<i think your trying to make urself feel better. You dont have a girl C'MON SON. stop nut hugging. like seriously.
One. <<whoever is stealing my name is a punk ass bitch, Im cool with Jonnie, keep doing yo thing yung muchacho
^^^lol ok i wrote that myself lol. ahhh. ok but harharhar just seems so cool.
Sometimes I stop by just to get a kick out of the comments. Now I KNOW Shake and Meka laugh their asses off at these shits.
^^im glad you enjoyed it boo boo.
If you not from L.A., then why all you niggas speaking up on shit you dont know. Listen.. I absolutely do not advocate gangbangin but NIP has a good point. Do not be out here claiming colors at 30 yeears old when cats was bangin in junior high school. The cowardly thing is the gang bang cats, especially the 60′s in the 90′s cause so much havoc cus they rolled deep and could do anytinng they wanted, BUT, individually, these cats are pretty reckless and will fuck you up either fighting or gunplay. I been to so many parties that the 60 niggaz just pillaged. they just truly dont give a fuck at all.
Nipsey sayin sum real shit tho cant lie. But it makes me sick how everyone and they momma ah blood now im not in a gang or nothin but irememba wen wayne use to rep the blue flag now bangin red wtf. Shit crazy go around where niggas really bang and they’ll end up dead smfh. Everyone one knows these rappers aint bout no shot em up bang bang shit
LOL have you not listen to Wayne shithole ass music within the year before he went in. Have you heard him scream soo-wop or whatever it is. No why, cause he was going into the pen.
To the idiot who talks about weight size of a person fighting a bigger dude. I think you need to check it dumbass. Big buff ass dudes move slower than skinny people. You big fucks move an inch every 10 secs.
Damn im such a hard ass, like i literally have a hard ass and cock. Thats why I would very much like for a guy to suck it while I get my ass fucked. There is nothing I love more than getting my but plugged by another mans throbbing hard member. Just the feeling of some foreign object thrusting into my butt hole and releasing its warm goo deep inside me is something very hard to describe in words
so call said this on March 31st, 2010 at 3:33 pm <<ur pass is revoked. u need to check a g first homie.
@ JonnieHayward.now come here You’re sweet. I’m going to make sure you kiss me good with those big lips. I’m gonna make you my girlfriend.
i dont know what to say *blushes*
but i do play wide reciever in football *chuckle*
go easy on me boo boo.
Wow nispey went 1000% i didnt think he would be that honest props to him , everyone else would have said its ok cuz they dont want any drama
^^YH wonder how many rappers are thinking the same thing. but then again all the fake guys seem to be runnin the game, wayne, the game, t.i , ross etc.. ppl love a good wwe rapper.
@word no he didn’t keep it 1000%. He mentioned the 40 glocc and Wayne incident then back tracked and said “I ain’t talking about wayne”. Really then who were you referring to ? Fuck outta here! lol
feel like plaiting nipps lovely black hair.
ohh my bad homie i re read it..lol u were right. no harm intended. we cool?
@word
^^^ I didn’t type that?????
^^ YOU seem like a serious douche. are u trying to get attention? now trolls is talkin to them selves.smh.
I hope yall aint dumbasses and notice the difference between me and this poser…my name has a link and a avatar to it,,please hop off my nuts and get a life and yes I do have a girlfriend and a girl on da side I only talk to cuz she gives the best head
He could be referring to menace you bitch
Girlfriend on the side, smh. But I respect Nip in what he saying. I don’t fuck with gangs, so I don’t say I do, but the ones that don’t, yet claim they do are real lames. Niggas need to be 100 to themselves and others.
Nipsey = Fake Snoop
Get your own image nigga!
like seriously y are u guys tolling my name. seriously dont put down my integrity in the c-section. or ill bang on ur ass. you really dont know me homie so fall back or we can meet up n ill sit u down. seriously this is my name dont try n hurt me like that you dont know the people i know i really be in these streets im really hard like that i really do THIS.
LMAO @ JonnieHayward. All we notice is that fact that ur an herb. Shit is embarrassing son.
^^wat is with this guy. im done.
lol@gangsters with “avatars” smfh.
Already proved I’ve got a girlfriend a while ago I think on the Raekwon I Wanna Rock freestyle post..I’m not puttin her name and myspace and facebook out there again cuz I got caught…and this other guy is trying too hard, your exposing your homosexuality through other people’s names
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yeah and she was straight doo doo looking……….. she might have been a man if i remember correctly
Gang banging ain’t hot at all, that shit is so played out. Niggas need to get their minds right and make something of themselves instead of fucking around in these streets so we can prove all these ignorant ass doubters wrong…
http://lnk.ms/61lRp So Gone (Download)
Nip ain’t never lied!..back in the day I never was in NO gang,not my thing(everybodys money was good!)but I was cool with everybody,to this day my word still good on the hood lol
Yall niggas don’t know anything about Nipsey lol… y don’t u listen to his music before you judge dude.. He’s a pretty smart dude even without a lot of formal education.. and he isnt a “Snoop wannabe” just because he’s got the same hairstyle… He’s Habesha(Eritrean) so he’s got that good hair and doesn’t need a perm and can just tie his hair like that.. This nigga keeps it real and i fuck with him
I mean how can you say i dont have a girlfreind man.. i really do ..like seriously i got a girl. dont make me prove it again dude. cos seriously i got a girl i dont wanna say her name. just trust me.i got a girl ..y wud i lie n say i dont have one..y are u trying to ruin my c section rep . thats so not cool dude. i have a girlfreind.
@Hectik
Just to note, he never said anything about gangs being cool or any shit like that. He just said dont claim you from one when you really arent, that simple. And he did whatever he felt was necessary to survive, so you cant compare your situation to his when you weren’t in his shoes.
“C-section rep” lol dat was good, and naw she aint doo doo lookin,,but seriously this fella really got a crush on me takin the time to post as my name
If only this nigga would make 1-3 good songs…
im in a gang
JonnieHayward<<plz stop trolling. do u think its funny to have conversations with urself on the internet. seriously either comment about the music or plz stop. ppl who troll are getting tiring real quick
^^^im not trolling its that immature faggot Bill Clinton posting as me with homosexual comments…the real version of me has a link in the name and a avatar picture
Gangs are for pussies anybody can be tough when they have a bunch of dudes with them. Nipsey is like 140 pounds if he took a dude behind a building to fight him 1 on 1 they would have to scrape his lil ass off the ground.
