Nick Cannon is remembering the late Nipsey Hussle with some custom artwork on his 1964 SS Impala. Tuesday, March 31st marked the one year anniversary of Nipsey’s untimely death, and many of his friends, family members, and supporters paid tribute to the legend in their own ways. Fans of the late artist reflected on his life and death, while athletes like Russell Westbrook and Kyrie Irving paid tribute to him on social media. Nipsey’s partner, Lauren London, wrote a heartbreaking and beautiful message about the love of her life, which she shared with the world Instagram.

Some, like Nick Cannon, went above and beyond with their tributes to the rapper and activist. In honour of Nipsey’s signature mantra, Nick got some custom blue art work of Nipsey’s likeness along with the words, “The Marathon Continues,” painted on his 1964 SS Impala. The photos, which can be seen here, show three different images of Nipsey painted on the trunk of the car, along with the checkered flag symbol that’s come to be associated with his catch phrase. The street signs denoting the intersection of Crenshaw Blvd and Slauson Avenue are also shown, along with some angel wings.

Nick reportedly commissioned Jr. Kustoms to do the paint job roughly two months ago, in anticipation of the anniversary of Nipsey’s death. The Impala is currently being held at Nick’s NCredible Motorsports warehouse in L.A. Following Nipsey’s passing, Nick actually vowed to continue the work Nipsey had started on a documentary about the controversial Dr. Sebi, a self-described healer who claimed to have the cure for various fatal illnesses before he was mysteriously killed. However, Nick has yet to give any updates on whether he has made any progress with that venture.

Joyner Lucas is just a few days removed from the release of his new album ADHD, but he’s asking his fans to stop listening to it in favor of another artist.

It has been one year since the tragic passing of Nipsey Hussle, who was shot in front of his store in Los Angeles. The rapper was celebrated as one of the greatest wordsmiths of his generation, leading his community to achieve great things by the young age of thirty-three. If you have been listening intently to Joyner Lucas’ new project, he is kindly requesting for you to stop so that you can enjoy the artistry of the late Nipsey Hussle on “Nip Day.”

“If you listening to ADHD right now then please stop and go listen to @nipseyhussle all day,” wrote the New England emcee on Instagram. “Rest In Peace bro. Today I’m bumping #victorylap all day long.”

Joyner Lucas is not alone in celebrating the life and legacy of Nipsey Hussle today. Fans of the Los Angeles rapper have been extending their wishes to his family all day, sharing their favorite memories of him and re-posting their preferred songs. With first-week sales meaning a lot to most artists, this is a very gracious move from Joyner Lucas to direct attention away from his new album. 

Rest in power, Nip. We miss you.

It has been one year since we lost the legend of Nipsey Hussle, one of the most motivated rappers to ever come out of Los Angeles. Shaping the outlook of his neighborhood, Nipsey Hussle truly defined what it meant to be a hustler in the twenty-first century, bringing a unique mentality to his music and carving out a lane for himself out of Crenshaw. He tragically passed away at the young age of thirty-three after being shot last year, and his fans are remembering all that he brought to the game on the one-year anniversary of his death.

As we recall all the great things that Nipsey Hussle did for his community and in the rap game, the majority of his fans have taken to social media to reflect on what Hussle meant to them. Whether the marathon is continuing in their personal lives, or the man's lyrics are still ringing true to this day, everyone is looking back at what he accomplished on what people are referring to as "Nip Day."

How did Nipsey Hussle change your life? Let us know in the comments. 

Rest in peace to one of the greatest Los Angeles rappers of all time, the great Nipsey Hussle.

Few sins sting as deeply as a DJ who cuts “The Next Episode” before Nate Dogg gets a chance to belt out his immortal wisdom: “smoke weed every day.” That’s only the tip of the iceberg of Nate’s unique style of musical genius. A baritone singer who first caught the ear of Dr. Dre and went on to lay vocals on The Chronic’s infamous “Deeez Nuuuts,” the late Nathaniel Dwayne Hale went on to collaborate with damn near every legendary rapper who comes to mind.

That’s no exaggeration. Before passing away due to stroke-related complications, Nate had amassed a repertoire of collabs with Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Ludacris, 2Pac, The Game, Jadakiss, Fabolous, Warren G, DJ Quik, and many more. Few can think of “The West Coast” as a general presence without hearing a Nate Dogg hook. It’s no surprise that the beloved maestro remains mourned to this day, as evidenced by those who took to Instagram to pay respects on his death anniversary yesterday.

Xzibit, a frequent collaborator of Nate on songs like “Been A Long Time,” “Bitch Please,” and “Multiply,” offered up some kind words in his honor. Likewise did his cousin Snoop Dogg, who shared a picture of them sitting courtside. Daz Dillinger also held it down for his DPGC soldier, making it clear that the fallen will not soon be forgotten. And naturally, fellow “Regulator” Warren G lamented the loss and what might have been under different circumstances.  In an era sorely lacking a presence like big Nate Dogg, it feels fair to say that hooks have never quite been the same. Rest in peace to a hip-hop legend. 

Diddy probably has countless stories about his old friend The Notorious B.I.G., who passed away on this date twenty-three years ago. We are celebrating one of the greatest voices of all time today, highlighting “The What” as one of our throwback selections of the day, and Puff Daddy is also taking time to tribute his collaborator. Posting a photo of the two having a conversation in the studio, Diddy recalled how the legend was actually considering retirement at that stage of his career, explaining his thought process.

“Big was the perfect artist,” says Diddy on the throwback picture of himself and the rapper. “This candid moment when BIG was having writers block. This only happened to him once. He was talking about retiring. And I’m basically just tell him to stop talking crazy and that he was the greatest of all time. Then he went in and made hypnotize!”

“Hypnotize” was the final song released by The Notorious B.I.G. before his death. It was co-produced by Diddy and went on to become one of Big’s most popular records ever. Hearing the context of its release makes it all the more special. 

Re-visit the tune below and let us know your favorite Biggie song of all time in the comments. 

Though he passed away twenty-three years ago to this day, the legacy of The Notorious B.I.G. still endures. Many hip-hop fans still consider him to be one of the most influential rappers of all time, and his timeless catalog has amassed over eleven-million monthly listeners on Spotify alone. Suffice it to say, there are plenty who still hold Biggie dear to heart — especially those who knew him first hand. Today, Diddy took to Instagram to shine a spotlight on his friend and protege, proudly reaffirming his position as the greatest of all time.

There’s not much else to the sentiment, though its importance should not be undervalued. In this age of instant gratification, where artists are essentially expected to keep up with an album-a-year pace, it’s all too easy for older acts to fall by the wayside. Though The Notorious B.I.G. has indeed become larger than life, constant reminders of his talent remain necessary, especially as new generations of hip-hop listeners begin to discover the culture.

Whether or not you agree that Biggie is the greatest rapper of all time is a matter of taste. But it’s abundantly clear where Diddy’s loyalties lie — after all, this is the man who came up alongside Big, who executive produced albums like Ready To Die and the posthumous Born Again. It’s incredibly wholesome to see him continuing to ride for the fallen King Of New York, a tradition he will likely continue on an annual basis. Rest in peace to The Notorious B.I.G. Where does he rank in your top 10? 

Fredo Santana never had extreme mainstream success but as a leader in drill music, he played a major role in its proliferation across the world. The rapper’s life was cut short two years ago today when he died from kidney failure. The game hasn’t forgotten about him since his passing. His friends and family, in the rap game and out, have continued to carry on his legacy since his passing.

On the two year anniversary of his passing, Chief Keef, Fredo’s cousin, took to Instagram to share a throwback picture of the two back when they were younger. Keeping the caption simple, Chief Keef wrote, “Better smiles than Hard times.” DP Beats and Lil Reese both showed some love in the comment section of Chief Keef’s post.

G Herbo also took to his Instagram Story where he showed love to the late rapper on his death anniversary. Sharing a photo of Fredo seated on a throne, writing “[Long live] Big Boss aka Trap God aka Real Savage CEO.” Last year, G Herbo hit the ‘Gram to raise awareness about people with PTSD, especially in a place like Chicago where death is prevalent in the Southside. This was partially inspired by Fredo Santana who explained months before his death that he was using drugs as a way to cope with his own PTSD.
