Nipsey Hussle Biography
Nipsey Hussle (real name – Ermias Davidson Asghedom) was an American Grammy-nominated rapper and songwriter from Los Angeles, California. Emerging from the West Coast hip hop scene in the mid-2000s.
Nipsey initially became known for his numerous mixtapes, including his Bullets Ain’t Got No Name series, The Marathon, The Marathon Continues and Crenshaw, the latter of which rapper Jay-Z, bought 100 copies for $100 each.

Early Life
Nipsey grew up in South L.A. in the 1990s. He made it no secret of his early life in a street gang, saying in a 2014 interview with YouTube channel Vlad TV that he had joined the Rollin’ 60s, a notorious Crips gang clique, as a teenager.
“We dealt with death, with murder,” he told The Times in 2018. “It was like living in a war zone, where people die on these blocks and everybody is a little bit immune to it.
I guess they call it post-traumatic stress when you have people that have been at war for such a long time.
I think L.A. suffers from that because it’s not normal yet we embrace it like it is after a while.”

Nipsey Hussle Quotes
-
- My thing is that I don’t give no person that much power over my path that I’m walking. Not one person can make or break what I’m doing, except me or God.
- On a mission your worst enemy is idle time.
- Luck is just bein’ prepared at all times, so when the door opens you’re ready.
- All the smart money got they bets on me / And all the real niggas wish the best for me
- I’m more focused on giving solutions and inspiration more than anything.
- And it’s possible to monetize your art without compromising the integrity of it for commerce.
- We’re not the cause, we’re the effect.
- I feel that luck is a product of hard work.
- I kinda came into my manhood, or what I thought was my adulthood, early. I had to show up, and I had to make sure I had gas money, food money, rent money, clothes money – everything was on me, startin’ at that age, so that’s what led me to start hustlin’, that’s what led me to start to try to find ways to fend for myself.
- And once I did that, I was full-time, bein’ in the street, and, bein’ in the street, it’s cold. It’s the way the streets operate, and you have to adapt to that.
- Money is a tool – it’s the means, not the end. Inspiration is the metric that dictates whether or not a project is a success. It’s more realistic than trying to aim for radio play, or trying to satisfy an AR, or the other gatekeepers on these platforms. I don’t even know how to create with those things in mind. But if you tell me the goal is to inspire? That makes my job a lot easier.
