Big Sean evidently had some things to get off his chest regarding the murder of Nipsey Hussle. The Grammy Award-nominated rapper addressed his 11 million Instagram followers on Monday evening (May 20), delivering a powerful message about violence and how valuable a life truly is.
“You know what I wanted to say was to the person who murdered Nipsey and to people like that who take somebody’s life out of impulse or for revenge or whatever the case may be — you’re making a permanent solution to a temporary problem,” he said. “Obviously that’s not how you solve problems. I don’t know if we know the value of a life for real, because when you take somebody’s life, dog — you’re setting back their family. You’re setting the whole lineage back — generations.
“What I mean by that is, I know for a fact my grandma was working for my mom and for me and my brother. I don’t even have kids — I’m definitely already working for my kids and my kids’ kids. When you take somebody’s life, you’re setting all that back. And for what? For something that could have been communicated better?”
Sean admits he’s a “terrible communicator,” but it’s something he’s working on improving.
“It takes a lot of effort,” he continued.”I have noticed that in men, and in black men, we’re taught to communicate certain ways. We’re taught to be tough, we’re taught to stand tough and get your revenge and retaliate through violence and all that type of shit, right?
“But you know, we gonna keep losing kings! Gonna keep losing Martin Luther Kings. Gonna keep losing Malcolm Xs. We gonna keep losing Nipsey Hussles. And for what?”
Ultimately, Sean believes if people put their egos and pride aside to talk things out, it would yield much more positive results. He ended his message by sharing something his grandmother always told him: “Communication can save a nation.”
In the wake of Nip’s March 31 murder, rival gang members have reportedly been in talks to unify in an effort to pump the breaks on the senseless violence infecting countless communities.
Hip hop culture is about bitches, money and murder. When you live the life or come into this game expect that!!
Cause where I’m from if you soft you loss-KRS1
These weak rappers aint made for the game!!
Actually that’s rap culture. No one is shooting and Lupe, GZA, Ab-Soul, or Big Krit.
Rap, break dancing and graffiti is all about the hip-hop culture you dumb bitch!!
Rap is something you do, Hip Hop is something you live. Hip Hop is NOT the shit that the original post referenced. And if your gonna throw insults around, don’t forget DJ’ing fuck boi!
I’ll throw around insults all day!! Fuck Boi!! You don’t beef with this King right here. So fix your face and stay the hell off my comments and replies. Don’t ever come at me you fatherless bitch.
Lol okay tough guy
Maybe you should take this. Big Sean advice. Lol. Your ego is already driving you crazy over a comment. Your sensitive and have no true skill at dealing with stress
Mind you own business. Bitch
Do your research and understand where hip hop/rap orginated from. It was transformed into what you said, and people eat it up. The public expects those in the hip hop community to act a certain way…and sadly, they conform. It’s an endless cycle where people in hip hop die and everyone else carries on with their lives.
When someon in the hip hop community tries to break the cycle they are looked down on.
Omg shut yo bitch ass up already
“Permanent solution to a temporary problem…” that’s powerful af right there.
shouldnt be solutions always permanent though?? not saying I disagree with the message but the phrasing he used is stupid. If the solution aint permanent the problem comes back eventually
They typically should but if your solution is homicide, it’s 99/100 the wrong solution because of the inability to come back from that. In life, just because you arrived to a solution doesn’t mean you cannot change your mind or find a better one.
I actually like the phrase because that in a few words captures the issue of gun violence. Problems come and go, but death is irreversible (for the time being). No need to end a person’s existence because of disagreements and misunderstandings
yeah thats why I said I agree with the message but “Permanent solution to a temporary problem” is just stupid and fake deep
Read it again . A “permeant” solution to a “temporary” problem. What Big Sean is saying is, you may be mad in the moment but 1 month down the road you will no longer care. So If you act on Emotion to a Temporary problem you may kill someone over a problem that wont seem like such a big deal a month down the track. The one in front of the gun livers forever, with regret and in Jail over something stupid for the rest of his or her life.
Honestly you just too hard headed to open your mind and listen to what he saying, it makes perfect sense to me….you don’t solve a temporary problem with a permanent solution when the problem is temporary it will eventually go away death is permanent that id’s wheat he ment
Yo!! I found that bitch Triple Phi OG ig page!! Dude had some crazy ish on his page!! Tri_1974hooverPhiOG Bitch done deactivated the page now. Weak ass BLOOD
He’s a bitch and a troll a pussy don’t give him breath he’s probably a white boy in a basement in Colorado just doing bitch shit or he’s probably a employee on this to just spark convo cause obviously his comments never get deleted
He’s a bitch a troll a pussy probably some white boy living in Colorado in a basement don’t give him breath…or he could be working on this site just to get reaction cause obviously his comments never get deleted hmmmm
Da hood dont give a fuck about communication!
When you live in the gutter and jealous of somebody elses success…you want to take them out. jail life cant be any worse than the life theyre living so they dont give a fuck, and thats dangerous.
Dont fuck around with retards from da hood!!
It could of have been avoided guns are not necessary cant we communicate without having to shoot where does this get anyone in jail six feet under and both families grieving for the rest of there lives… Lets think before we speak it makes a big difference
what is the alternative? he doesn’t say. I have tried to be more settled toward people who I don’t like and who don’t like me, most definitely. but it isn’t me, its them. its no ones business what I listen to for music. bottom line is this. maybe there are people in this world, with a high profile, who are so evil they should either die, or be locked up. I don’t want to take anyone’s life if I can help it.
Big Sean doesn’t understand that setting back a family’s lineage and situation for generations is usually the aim of a killer…. they want to kill this person dog, and causing pain and suffering to the family is just icing on the cake…. it’s sad but true. Logic does not live in the world of a killer.
The advice he gave should be taken by A LOT of folks that frequent this site…LOL…But in all seriousness, great advice…makes perfect sense to me.
“Communication can save a nation.”
Seriously dude? Have you seen the state of your country right now? Nothing can save your nation right now. More empty words with no solutions, just another social justice idiot flapping his lips.
He must of bothered you. He’s talking about people like you
Luna ? loves Nipsey always ???????❤??? Lunawestcoast RokaDonDon
