Last year, I studied Gary Vaynerchuk and
Nipsey Hussle in different ways. Both were prosperous. Both explained how to get there. Although If I studied Gary Vee like an instructor from afar, with Nipsey, it felt like a big brother locking his arms around your neck and shoulders, schooling you on how things should be. Nipsey was like that to a lot of people. His music and actions away from the microphone portrayed a guy who wanted to share the wealth as much as he wanted to obtain it. He also kept it in the community; right after years of giving out game, he earned the ability to take a step back and talk his shit. That track was 2018's "Last Time That I Checc'd" and it's impossible not to listen to it and smile. This guy knew he was good.
Nipsey wasn't one for excessive smiling. He routinely appeared either plain faced or disgruntled, however whenever he talked, it was from a place of eloquence and tranquility as an alternative opposed to confusion or annoyance. "Last Time That I Checc'd" sounds like smiling all over the course of its four minutes. Nipsey's loud, and his upset energy gives me life. However he's not forcing his greatness upon you. As a substitute, he makes you get off your backside and get to work. In the video, he rides in Lamborghini cars clad in white, fiercely glaring at the camera as if to mention, "This is my reality, right now make yours similar." It's angelic. He could have
tragically died on March 31, however his message is living on by way of the song's dancing brilliance. Change your reality. —
