Nipsey Hussle speaking on Bishop Lamont (No Country Fo Old Men)

[PLANT]

Complex: Although Snoop has obviously been very supportive of you, Bishop Lamont had spoke last year of doing a mixtape called No Country For Old Men because he felt like older artists like Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube weren’t supporting the new movement. Do you feel like that was fair?

Nipsey Hussle: The way I was raised, I was a man, even when I was 13, homie. Don’t do me no favors. Let me run mine, you feel me? I don’t need no help. You signed to Dr. Dre, how can somebody prevent you from doing what you gotta do? You got a record deal, you got a label behind you, money behind you. You have access to a studio. All you have to do is make hot shit. So how can a motherfucker prevent you? At the end of the day, I was doing it by myself in the studio. A lot of niggas did that, created their brand, went out into the world and did what they did without a co-sign. Dre did it by his own. My thing is that I don’t give no person that much power over my path that I’m walking. Not one person can make or break what I’m doing, except me or God. Not the label, Dr. Dre, Snoop, Game, and much respect to all them niggas, but as a man, that’s not how I was raised.

Word.

I like how he didn't even try to slip a subliminal in there. It wasn't even like 'if Dre don't fuck with me then fuck him' or 'Bishop is just bitchin'. He just spoke like a grown ass man.

Why is a project that got cancelled over a year ago being talked about?

because people tend to get stuck in the past

for the record, Bishop Lamont never held a grudge against 'veterans' in general. yes he dissed Snoop & Ice Cube, but you don't hear often about the shoutouts he gave to established & upcoming artists.
i guess it's an error in the human brain, which makes us lean more towards the negative, no matter what your character is.
