In the midst of our current economic struggles, it’s easy to forget that, after nearly six long years at war, America’s still got a big, steaming mess to clean up in Iraq—not to mention, Osama bin Laden remains at large.  Here to remind us is Nipsey Hussle, whose newly-released mixtape cut, Payback, sees the Slauson boy stepping onto his soapbox to let listeners know exactly what he thinks of the ongoing conflict overseas, as well as the violence and poverty that still plague our inner-city streets.  While the conspiracy theorizing gets a little out of hand (are we really supposed to believe that a man who nearly choked to death on a pretzel managed to orchestrate 9/11 and successfully cover it up?), Hussle’s lyrics are hard-hitting and largely on-point, and 1500 or Nothin‘s beat amps up the tension with spare piano and choral synths.  Bullets Ain’t Got No Name (Vol. 3) is set to drop this spring, and fans should stay tuned for our exclusive coverage of The Game‘s LAX tour, which features Hussle and fellow Left Coast emcee Jay Rock as openers.

This is some CLASSIC west coast ish! I'm really feelin this dude after this one... I liked Hussle in the House and They Roll, but this definitely displays a deeper message and better lyricism. Hussle is now in the house for me, for real. Nipsey has a very nice flow and a great message on this one. The only thing I would change is the hook; I mean, its a nice Game reference, but I would rather hear a screwed up sample for a hook. Regardless, with the dark production and church choir vibe, this is what West Coast music is all about...

I haven't ever really liked a song by him. But this is decent enough that i think i'd listen again.

Let me start by sayin' that the hood sound is not gon last for long A its not marketable and B the announcing of what set you from on damn near every track is so 1980's Bangin' on waxish, Nipsey is talented no doubt but personally I feel his entourage of 6 owe homeys will b his downfall if he doesn't start makin some changes and FAST!! He cannot carry the hood on his back and if he tries like sooooo many before him this much anticipated dream come true will be shortlived at best. I've heard a couple Nipsey trax Hussle in the House, Line it up now this one all were wiggedy WHACK except Line it up ....Point blank period Nipsey needs to be able to adjust, conform and change horses in the middle of the race if he plans on stickin around cause the minute you dont make your label no money its on the next cat that's how for the moment. I feel the West Coast is sooooooo thursty for a comeback we jus jump on the bandwagon Imma buy his ish jus to support the west but goin head to head against the durty south and the east coast Nipsey gon get MURDERRRRRRRRRRRRED! Sorry Nip I am so West Coast its a shame but I gotta keep it 100, you gotta step it homey. Dont wanna hurt ya feelings but this track was garbage.

This is not only thought provoking but its what the game has been missing. Nipsey broadens the scope and takes aim at the real enemy of the state, these lying ass politicians! Keep bangin' on em' Nipsey!
