Why is this Nipsey Russell such a big deal?

It's Nipsey Hustle. Now. I do remember Nipsey Russell. Is he still around?

The enduring legacy of the cultural phenomenon Match Game.

He could make a poem up on the spot for on any category you suggested. He was a fixture on 1970's game shows where his sharp wit and bracing intelligence were on glorious display. He was also the Tin Man in the move version of The Wiz. He died about 15 years ago, sadly. He was, indeed, a big fucking deal. I am glad he is being remembered.

I loved Rosalind Russell!

Never heard of him but then again i don't listen to homophobic rappers. Is it insulting or honorary that he ripped off Nipsy Russells name?

Rough funeral service.

Deadline: Nipsey Hussle Funeral Procession Marred By Shooting – One Dead, Three Injured

He's a community celebrity and wasn't well known outside of that venue. He was a gang member that made more money when he left his gang and saw the financial light.

Nipsey = gay as an Easter basket

R1 fucked up what could have been a fun thread.

Yeah and all the local channels broadcast the memorial service. Wtf... like he some kind of tupac wannabee

Chris Rock said it best. "Biggie Smalls and Tupac weren't assassinated. Malcolm X and Martin Luther King were assassinated. Those two niggas just got shot!"

Nipsey was a gangbanger who boasted about his affiliation with the 60s, a ruthless gang who has terrorized innocent people for decades.

Lebron James called it "one of the worst things that has ever happened in the history of America." LOL.

I was just thinking about that quote when this thread popped up about this guy's funeral.

At a complete loss as to why Datalounge should give a crap about this motherfucker.
