Boys In Blue

Nipsey Hussle

Contrary to to the title this is not a post about the police or law enforcement of any kind. I loathe the police, as you should. The only boys in blue being discussed in this post are those under the blue flag. And if you're still lost we're talking about Crips people.

Since Snoop Dogg, easily the the biggest and most popular gang banging artist, came on the scene certain artists followed the same suit and expressed their affiliations and memberships literally rather than being subtle. As of recent the most popular rappers to rep the set on wax are Nipsey Hussle and Schoolboy Q. Not only are these two possibly the realest rappers out of California right now, they are also the realest Crips on record and because of this they will most likely never do a song together.

Let's delve: Why is this bad? Well if you listen to rap at all and have come across both of these artists then you already understand. For those who don't go listen and come back and read so you'll understand what I'm about to say. You have two artists from the same city, blowing up around the same time and both do tracks with everyone but each other. Hell Nipsey has done an entire project with YG who is a Blood.

SchoolBoy Q

Now why would Nipsey Hussle do an entire project with a Blood and not a fellow Crip? My only answer is that the sets they come from and how much of a rivalry that exists between them(Hoover St. Crips and Rolling 60's Crips) won't allow them to do a song together. The reason this irks me so is so because you have two artists that both deliver positive messages (Nipsey a little more so than Schoolboy) while at the same time not being boring or conscious. Not that there is anything wrong with conscious rap, I just prefer a little more edge and these two definitely have that. Also we're clearly in the age of the collab so for these two not have done so speaks volumes. The only artist I think can bring these two on a track would be Dom Kennedy (FYI). On the flip side, I hope I am wrong and a track comes out with these two. Until then all I can do is hope.
