Nipsey Hussle literally has dozens of mixtapes circulating through cyberspace—not to mention his Bullets Ain’t Got No Name trilogy, all of which have barcodes and can be purchased via iTunes and Amazon.com. They’ve helped the South Central emcee create a buzz for his tentatively titled debut, South Central State of Mind, but people hoping to see that album in stores will have to wait. Nip took to his Twitter account to announce his album was indefinitely on hold, but he will release a mixtape entitled The Marathon on December 21. Nipsey tweeted that the decision was “a creative move to ensure that I give my true believers my best offering on my debut album.”
South central state of mind has been indefinitly postponed. I’m droping “The Marathon” on 12 21 2010.
I’ll explain because yall matter to me: SOUTH CENTRAL STATE OF MIND IS MY MASTERPEICE. WHEN ITS DONE U WILL GET IT. UNTILL THEN #TMC
In addition to The Marathon, Waka Flocka Flame announced that he would collaborate with Nipsey, Maino, Wiz Khalifa, Uncle Murda and Ra Diggs. After telling Billboard magazine about the group effort, which was to be done under the moniker Desperados, no further information has been given.
Waka made the announcement in September, and gave no expected release date, telling Billboard, “We’re processing it right now.”
THIS IS NOT MY LABELS DECISION, ITS A CREATIVE MOVE TO ENSURE THAT I GIVE MY TRUE BELIVERS MY BEST OFFERING ON MY DEBUT ALBUM.
MY LIFE HAS BEEN SUCH A STRUGGLE, AND I ALWAYS SAID IF I EVER MAKE IT TO WHERE I AM NOW I WOULD DO IT FROM THE HEART.
1st biatches!!!
What an anti-climax, I always thought it’d feel different.
he has no buzz at all so dropping the album no or later want matter
honestly i love nip hes a real nigga
but for real. dude will be like g malone, no buzz, no sales…
its a shame, ten years ago he would have went platiunum hands down
hope this dude get his biz together, one of the few dudes i’m checkin for out of the west.
Whether he drops it now or later, it’s still going double wood.
Same story different artist
Haters, haters why can’t it be what the man said and be that. If it’s not right then why put it out for you to hate more and say all it’s trash. There is alot riding on this kid so I’m not mad take your time and put out a classic album youngsta. He should wait until Detox drop then ride that wave then drop it the album. Then the west coast would finally rise again. Everybody from the west should rally behind that album put egos aside then any and everybody from the west could drop albums and then the world would be screaming westside once again. And stop hating on Glasses his first mixtape is better than alot of your favorite rappers albums thats out now.
he has no buzz? wtf are you talkin’ about lol in Cali this guy has alot of buzz, I’m from Cali so i can back it up! he can easily sell 500,000 just here on the WestCoast! this dude is special! he’s gonna blow up and he knows it because all of us are begging for that one true mc that can bring back hip hop to its earlier stages where it was more about rhyming and less about autotune! lol
i agree i like nip but, he has no support outside the westcoast. i think he will be like another g malone. being signed to cash money gave him that pop sound not that street shit we need right know.
listen kids, im trying real hard to be real but c’mon, this fag is no different from anything else thats coming out, lyrically dude sucks but he has a dope flow so people think hes a dope rapper. its all still new age bullshit, fool looks like snoop and has westcoast beats, hes straight dickriding off the 90’s dre,cube,G etc created.”Plus money and bitches thats the way we do it get yo grind on get yo shine on, now hit the fast lane and let your chain swang” fuckin kidding me!! thats nipseys shit, thats the same shit every cashmoney cat is rhymin about, rick ross, soulja etc. the list goes on and on. if ya’ll want lyrical dope hiphop it hasnt gone anywhere its just no promoted as well as weez, cause most of the population beileves weezy’s the G.O.A.T. its media ignorance and people’s lack of commitment to the genre. listen to CYNE,BROTHER ALI,ABSTRACT RUDE,REKS, RAEKWON or for some real boombap watch out for the SNOWGOONS! listen to DJ PREMIERS intro on “Peace of Mine” sums it all up.
“…before you ball, you gotta grind first” Look Bapu, Nipsey is real man…Out of the 10 Freshman for ’10, there’s only 2 cats that’s representin’…Gibbs & Hussle. Gotta give ’em love now I don’t bout whatchu sayin’ but Nipsey defenately on that str8 up G shit we want cause he lived off of dat & he gotta tell us his side of the story thru this rap shit and fuck outta here wit’ “rappers on some space shit!” Free Prodigy and One Love to Gangsta Rap, period!
Oh I 4got Jay Rock…”we really hangin’ out here/all my life i gave blood, sweat & tears/in these streets don’t show no signs of fear
but goddamn he has some good ass beats no doubt about that.
ITS ALL ABOUT BOB SEGAR!!
