The Game is continuing his #OneNipPostADay initiative on Instagram and this time, he’s diving into his past with the Bloods. In another lengthy caption, Mr. Los Angeles Confidential recalled taking Nip on tour and the consequences he suffered as a result.
“Had hella fights & fell out with 1/2 my hood the time I took you on tour,” Game explains. “Most niggas I still ain’t cool wit to this day. A young blood nigga from the westside of Compton bringing a gang of rollin 60’s crips on tour was doing the most. I had to explain daily to my homies, how it was bigger than Compton, bigger than LA & that having that state of mind would only get us so far in this shit.
“My niggas that stayed down with me saw my vision come into fruition & the niggas who didn’t get it then & still don’t now are somewhere mad & bitter as fuck with nothing but hate in their heart because we kept it moving & made our union BIGGER THAN LIFE.”
Game continued by describing what it was actually like being on the road with the late Grammy Award-nominated rapper. He remembered what it was like when Nip was just getting started and the frustration that often came along with being a then-unknown artist.
“Nip used to hit the stage & perform and nobody would really be into it because like any new artist, people don’t know your music or aren’t familiar with your face so the 1st time you touch the stage they just stare at you waiting to see what energy you put out before they give theirs back,” he writes. “He started off a lil hesitant but he did his thing & then came off stage after his set & said ‘Chuck, these niggas don’t fuck wit my shit.’
“I would say in return ‘Naw, nigga.. these are Game fans & they just know you or the music yet but watch in a couple shows when you get comfortable, you gone kill it.'”
As The Game went on, he compared Nip’s situation to his own experience touring with Snoop Dogg several years ago. He marveled at Nip’s perseverance and willingness to learn.
“I told my nigga the same thing happened to me when @snoopdogg took me on tour, u just gotta push through bro,” he says. “We were in Dallas, Texas then. Next night we in Houston & I told him before he went on ‘Tonite, just go out there close ya eyes & spit that shit from ya heart as if nobody was in the crowd’ & then open your eyes & I bet you see a a difference. 20 min later, he came off stage smiling big as hell & said ‘I got these niggas now Chuck, I know what to do.’
“From that moment on, my nigga had everything he needed to push forward & put everything into motion for himself & look at what he became.. Look at what he did, was able to accomplish for his people & this was only the beginning. The world didn’t know what was to come in the next couple months & the plans he had to expand from Crenshaw & Slauson to other neighboring hoods, cities etc.. They took my nigga way 2 early & that’s what hurts the most.”
Nip was shot and killed on March 31 in front of his Marathon Clothing store in South L.A. In the wake of his death, the outpouring of love and support has been insurmountable.
As of earlier this month, the intersection of Slauson and Crenshaw where the murder occurred has been renamed Nipsey Hussle Square in his honor.

Game is such a freaking scrub. I’ve come to realize that gangster rappers are pretty much the most petty and pussy people around. They talk tough, and act tough, but the second someone on fox news says something negative about glorifying gang culture through music, they get super offended, and call for them to be fired. If I was game, I would live to make music and raise my family… Not get caught up in unnessescary, middle school girl type drama.
First, one would have to educate the game and many others, on how a culture based on harm and potential death, isn’t “cool”. A lot of folks buy into the hype, that this type of lifestyle is attractive. Also, one would have to teach them about patience (also thinking ahead). A lot of folks don’t want to wait for anything. Especially now, with having thw technology that makes things more convenient/faster for us.
Nothing less gay than being in a gang of other grown men who all dress the same and are constantly telling eachother what they can and cant do like a jealous girlfriend. Also you get to stand around shirtless with other men on a street corner all day. Man thats super masculine and very very cool.
Join the navy
GAME STR8 BEASTIN ON THESE NICCAS
Bloods and Crips. Fighting over colours like 3 year old idiots smh
Racist you have a black heart
I can appreciate being raised in that type of environment because I came up in a blood neighborhood but never banged…but I feel like we as a people (ethnic folks) need to stop glorifying gang life and culture. It rarely does anything positive for us as a whole. A group of men and women, willing to kill other people that look like them…for wearing a different color? or willing to die to protect “blocks” or “hoods” they claim to own yet they can’t produce a single deed to a piece of property? WE have to want to do better…to be better…just my opinion
