Luc's been able take his personal Inspirations from Nipsey, and channel them in such a way that one who watches and peeps game, could very well find themselves inspired. This is the documentary to watch if you think you got the patience & guts to say FUCK THE MIDDLE MAN.
This documentary starts off with LMC telling us about how he first hears about Nipsey Hussle. It was his brother, from Andre Nickatina to Freddie Gibbs, to a young Nip Hussle, LMC got his dose of west coast gangsta cowboy music. He was in the 7th grade when he first heard "Hussle In tha House". In this song Nipsey Hussle grace's the track immediately paying homage to west coast legends NWA, "I'm coming straight off of Slauson" which is a tilt to "Straight Out of Compton". Nipsey Hussle explains in the song how he was raised to get it different than many, he makes a nod to the Rollin 60's, by mentioning he Grew up in the "60's", he warns any rapper with a slick mouth he is not about false promises, or mediocre conversation, he has ethics and follows a certain code that will leave many displaced if they where to step in any way out of line when mentioning his name. In other words, it isn't worth the clout chase to challenge his mannerisms.
This particular documentary has been uploaded in a few ways a few times, though this video can be found on YouTube, it goes without mention LMC documentaries are in a class of their own. To say he did his homework on any documentary is an understatement. He manages to reignite the spirit of Nip by queuing in clips from Nipsey living his life, making real deal decisions.
Luc dives a bit into lyrics, and how Nipsey was able to go completely legit. The breakdown of Nipsey both lyrically, and philosophically is another reason this was so enjoyable to watch. It is clear throughout the documentary that the artist took the independent route and truly elevated the game for himself and those around him.
It goes without question that Nipsey Hussle creating formula that would charge anyone influenced by it, to get it done yourself, and he would create campaigns that brought the community together like never before, as you listen both to the narration of the documentary and the words that come out of the rappers mouth you could feel an overwhelming sensation to Hustle, and with the blueprint provided by Nipsey, it just makes it to intriguing to get up and get your business off the ground. As the documentary highlights the Proud To Pay campaign that shook the foundation of mixtape sells, you learn that "You can have it all its all about Yo reason", which is the very words of inspiration that made a few light bulbs go off for myself.
