The rapper and business mogul was talented and wise beyond his years. Two years after his death, fans are still honoring his memory. Whether it's his wisdom, his music and the impact he's had on lives he'll never know personally. See how some are continuing the marathon.
One twitter user posted a clip from an interview where the Victory Lap rapper expressed a powerful statement he holds dear to him. "Would you rather be at peace with the world and at war with yourself or at war with the world and at peace with yourself?," he stated.
During the March 30 NBA game between the Los Angeles Clippers and Orlando Magic, the Clippers reaired Nipsey's 2018 halftime performance as a tribute.
Another fan created a compilation video of the Los Angeles/Slauson area after Nipsey's death and funeral. His timeless song, "Victory Lap" featuring Stacy Barthe is playing over the clips.
Since his passing, those closest to him— his partner, Lauren London, his brother, Blacc Sam and others— have continued the work he left behind with The Marathon Clothing x Puma partnership and even the release of THE MARATHON, a visual album experience. Most recently, this first in-depth biography about his life, The Marathon Don't Stop: The Life and Times of Nipsey Hussle, written by Rob Kenner, is available wherever books are sold.
