March 31, 2019, 6:43 PM CDT / Updated March 31, 2019, 7:42 PM CDT By Alex Johnson and Andrew Blankstein LOS ANGELES — The Grammy-nominated rapper Nipsey Hussle was killed in a shooting outside his clothing store in Los Angeles, multiple law enforcement sources said. Two other men were in serious condition, and a suspect remained at large. No further information was immediately available about the shooting at Marathon Clothing on Slauson Avenue in South Los Angeles. But just a couple of hours before the shooting, Hussle, 33, whose real name was Ermias Ashgedom, had tweeted, "Having strong enemies is a blessing."

A large crowd of people, many of them crying, gathered at the intersection as police and media helicopters whirred overhead. One of them was Matthew Talley of Denver, the engineer and director known as Megatron. "It ain't just Los Angeles. He was an inspiration that was bigger than Los Angeles," Talley said. "You see all these people out here? ... "He was really cool," Talley said. "He was a dope individual every time I met him."

I know, yet another rapper. But Nipsey is a popular West Coast Rapper. Most popular know for his F.. Donald Trump rap songs. And performances in front of Kanye West wearing the MAGA hat.

I think there is something to that. If you're bold enough to make enemies, you probably don't have any problems in the friends or women departments, either. However, I would prefer to have enemies who are NOT bangers.

"Having strong enemies is a blessing."

In this case, a curse.

on Slauson Avenue in South Los Angeles

Not a very nice area when I lived down there in the '90s. Possibly a robbery, though I seem to recall he had some affiliation with the Crips.

I think him wearing the MAGA hat was in a way mocking Kanye

How long before they blame it on Trump? We all know the left’s motto, “never let a crisis go to waste.”

He stole my name
Then ceased to be
That he got shot is tragedy
I’m glad that they were after Hussle
Instead of after Nipsey Russell
