Without the major label backing, Nipsey Hussle has managed to make himself the hottest artist of October 2013. Dropping Crenshaw was not enough for Nipsey Hussle, he came with a package that artists are already adopting. DJ Drama hosted the mixtape and then Nipsey Hussle sold 1,000 copies for $100 apiece.
In the end, Nipsey Hussle sold out with his copies and Jay-Z helped the cause when he purchased 100 copies. This run from Nipsey Hussle continued Los Angeles’ success exactly a year after Kendrick Lamar had everyone hyped. Overall, Los Angeles hip hop is going through a strong period with the world finally paying attention.
Still, Nipsey Hussle fans are wondering where Victory Lap is and “The Breakfast Club” trio of Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, and DJ Envy grilled him on that at Power 105.1. They also talked about why Crenshaw sold for $100 a copy and Kendrick Lamar. Since it’s “The Breakfast Club,” of course they had him laughing.
