In the wake of Nipsey Hussle’s March 31 shooting death, more and more people have been drawn to his story. During a recent interview with The Breakfast Club, Snoop Dogg was asked to explain how Neighborhood Nip compares to Jesus Christ.
“Look at the impact that he had, the same impact Jesus had,” he said. A lot of people didn’t know him, but they sure wanted to know about him once he passed away. Then once they found out about him, they understood what his legacy was about. Now, his legacy is living even bigger with him not being here. So that’s why I say, ‘I ain’t never seen Jesus, but I’ve been hearing about it.'”
Snoop also commented on how Nipsey almost looks like Jesus.
“We gotta lot of faith in him and we know if you believe in him, this is gonna happen ’cause your grandparents and the Bible been giving you all this information,” he continued. “It’s like, that’s what he is. When we gone, that’s what he gonna be like because you can’t touch him, you can’t see him, you only have images of him and his image look like Jesus. The bone structure, the eyes … I’m looking at him like, ‘Man, please.’ It is what it is.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Snoop talks about his new album I Wanna Thank Me, marriage, Death Row Records, Tupac Shakur, getting in shape and his thoughts on JAY-Z’s recent alignment with the National Football League.
His comments on Nipsey start around the 22-minute mark. Watch the full interview below.
Nobody can have the same impact as Jesus but I don’t think that’s what he meant. I think Snoop meant that Nip had a “similiar” impact to Jesus, but obviously there are levels to this ish and Jesus is the Savior of the whole human race, can Nipsey claim that? I’m not sure he can.
The two can not be compared. Jesus died 2019 years ago…. we are still talking about him today… in 2000 years do you think man kind is going to be talking about Nipsey Hussle??? Come on snoop wars have been fought over the belief in Jesus there is never going to be a war over Nipsey Hussle… Dude had good music dont get me wrong but come on… not in the same league.
Dude smoked himself Stupid.
What a foolish comment
This is a false statement because Jesus wasn’t even real and people still bend the knee for him …. Nipsey was just some entertainer spouting platitudes and ideas that others said first …. no one will care about him in 10 years …. and people will still be bending the knee to the bearded white guy for another 100 at least
jesus wasnt white…
Was being sarcastic buddy …. Jesus wasn’t white because Jesus didn’t exist
Dude’s opinion with polished nails don’t matter.
snoop got a picture if jesusto verify bone structure put the blunt down man, NIP was a great man as was jesus no need to give them folks reason to think you crazy it only hurts
Just cant take Snoop serious, he’s a clown.
Jesus is not a image bruh. No one knows how Jesus looks like. Only the one that walk with him. Before he was crucify on the cross.
Oohhh..Jebus
Well we can all agree Jesus was definitely NOT white. I was lied to most my life it wouldn’t make sense given the location was such a Sun heavy area
So you have no problem believing Jesus walked on water, healed fatally wounded people with bare hands, served unlimited bread and resurrected the dead, yet find illogicalities with dudes skin color? Lol.
