One person has been stabbed and 19 were injured after violence broke out at a memorial for rapper Nipsey Hussle outside the Los Angeles store where he was shot dead a day earlier. Scores of fans were holding a vigil at the Marathon Clothing store in the South Los Angeles neighborhood on Monday night when the disturbance occurred. A Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman said they had received a report of a possible shooting or stabbing. Dramatic footage showed the moment a stampede broke out as terrified fans fled across the parking lot where the memorial was being held.

As messed up as he was back in the day I still miss Johnny Cash.

Now that you mention it, one would guess... Yutes.
“Who among us can say that someone doesn’t get shanked and a riot break out every time we go to a funeral.”
I know. When I showed up to venerate St. Nipsey and started singing “It seems to me, you lived your life, like a candle in the wind...”, instead of people joining in I heard what sounded like a hundred switchblades opening.
Tough crowd.
I quickly searched for a fugue from his Bullets Ain’t Got No Name hymnal.
All Cultures Is EQUAL!
I think that is watts. Compton still there
And Claremont was one of the nice places. Either blacks Cruisin indian hill or white kids trying to relate.
Russell is still remembered almost 20 years after his death.
Hustle will be forgotten 20 mins after he is chucked into the ground.
No one can site one damn rhyme from Hustle.
Russell's rhymes are still relevant:
What is the specret of eternal youth? The answer is easily told; All you gotta do if you wanna look young Is hang out with people who are old.
The young people are very different today; And there's one sure way to know; Kids used to ask where they came from; Now they'll tell you where you can go!
Spanking a child to get him to learn Is something I cannot defend, How can you knock any sense in his head When you're whacking him on the wrong end.
One day, we will all look back and remember exactly where we were and what we were doing when we heard that Nipsey Hussle died. /sarc

Gangster Rap is an accurate designation for the genre.
