'If you were mine' is a Sade lyric so it's probably just an extended sample, still exciting though.
 
An actual track list? ******g finally :lol: Glad I've listened to no Nipsey records since him and Rick Ross' "Proud of That", can't wait

I think that staggered flow sat nice on the beat and i thought i was the only one thinking every one was swag swiping poor quavo takeoff and offset. 
 
The last time i was this excited for music to drop was about this time last year waiting for kendricks album.
 
this dude about to charge $100 for this joint? :lol:

Nipsey Hussle’s truly living by his “All money in, no money out” mantra. Next Tuesday, he’s setting up a pop shop in L.A. and selling his street album Crenshaw for $100. Yes, $100. But before coming out of pocket, Nip explains to RapRadar the reason behind the high price tag.

It’s 2013. Whether we except it or not, buying music is a choice, not a requisite. When I think of the psychology behind what makes me purchase an artists album, it’s always a form of reciprocation. Almost like a token of appreciation after I experience the product.

The reason I chose to charge $100 dollars each copy and only start with 1000 units is because I tailor making my music for those who are listening…it’s not about stepping outside of what I’m known for in hopes of new discovery. What that means less is fans that are better served. (Kinda like the effect of less kids in a class room leading to a better education)

I’m more or less focused on fully serving the ones that have connected all ready. That being said its a value over volume thing…if I’m goin to offer a product made with no compromise or concession to the platforms (radio, A&R opinion, label bias) ect…ect..then the way we sale it has to change.

Hence PROUD2PAY.

As an artist my goal is to inspire…entertain…motivated…and most importantly INOVATE. And as lovers of art we should base our purchase on the artists ability to do so. That being said, if my presence in the game has had any of those effects on you $100 is your form of saying don’t change.

It ISN’T the price of the plastic case and polyurethane disc…it’s the price of Revolution! The price of Rebellion against an industry that has tricked us all into making products that have no soul for fear of not being heard if we don’t.

I have over 400k followers on twitter 140k on Instagram and 400k on Facebook but what good are they if they don’t mobilize around my releases? if only 1000 of those people are engaged to the point of brand loyalty then that’s who I’m focused on.

That being said: I *** w who *** w me. I have no plans to change up or go left on my people for hopes of a lager audience. And I have a feeling that this 1st 100 will be the evangelist to my cause.

Like Frank Lucas said nobody owns me. We might have to go into the jungle for it to work but once we get it… It’s blue magic.
