It's unbelievable. He managed to get Steve Jobs on his song right before he passed away!

I wasn't really anticipating this mixtape because Nip kinda played it low pro this year and I lost interest for him but now that the new project is here let's give it try

being a huge nipsey fan, it disapoints me to say that my rating for this after a front to back listen is..its cool...nothing more nothing less...he still spittin, but his beat selection keeps going downhill...

felt real good to hear a nipsey project, and i will always welcome one...but this here is what i believe to be his worst effort yet...actually i dont wanna say worst, makes it seem harsh...more like..the weaker of his projects...

Good mixtape - nothing spectacular on it, but I'll say it's def quality music and it's for free so everyone should check it out :)

Best track from "TMC" in my opinion 8)

Took one full listen. Kinda like Marathon, it's got a pretty gray and boring atmosphere. Personally I thought Everything was cool, but the best track IMO is Tha Mansion. Never gets old, Nipsey spits pure heat on that track...

In Nip's defense. I don't necessarily think he fell off. Yes this is a departure from his former style, but I think he's just trying to adapt as an artist. He realized he wasn't getting anywhere with that gutter gangbanging style. He sees whats hot right now like wiz, drake and cole and he's trying get that mainstream appeal.

As for this tape I think the verdict is still out for me. I haven't really given it enough spins right now to give it a fair assessment but theirs definitely some cool tracks. Who Detached Us is a dope song at first but I think I've heard too many Steve Jobs tracks lately it sort of nauseating at the end.

I see you, I think his lyrics on point, these shitty as beats and that auto tune shit or whatever it is.  Didn’t he see that Bitches to Rags Boondocks episode?

Fully listen today, I like it.

It's funny to me it seems like Freddie Gibbs is leaning more towards a classic west coast sound and Nipsey is leaning more towards a southern mainstream sound, the beats I mean.

Tommy Gunz is tight as hell!!
After hearing the mixtape a couple times....
i think overall the mixtape is bumpin!
He need to drop his official album... Is there any info about that?
Title: Re: Nipsey Hussle - The Marathon Continues (Discussion Thread)
Post by: BiggBoogaBiff on November 03, 2011, 07:05:22 PM
I don't think he'll ever be that type of artist he's aiming to be.  It's good he exists tho, becuz somebody had to do it again.  And wassup with all of the red all of a sudden, that's wamped!


Bullet Ain't Got No Name >>>>>> Tha Marathons


Street music will never die tho, as long as there's poverty and pain then there will always be thug muzik!  So it doesn't start and end with Nipsey Hussle.

Actually that was well warranted; considering.

Overall I think its a pretty solid release. I wish there was a couple more tracks on here to make up for some of the weaker cuts as Nipsey said it was going to have between 16 and 18 songs on it. But hey beggers can't be choosers, it is afterall free.

I wish they would have turned down them annoying keys a few notches on Everything, I can't even make it through the song without getting a headache.

This shit is hard as hell. I'm feeling it. Very impressed with how much Nipsey matured in just about every category. He switched up a lot of his subject matter which was refreshing to see.

I'm hoping a big-time artist co-signs him and puts him on, kinda like Ross did for Wale. I think he can definitely succeed with a proper push and single.

Tha Marathon Continues >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Destruction Adds To Zero

i think it's safe to say the next generation of LA is here to stay and move forward with progress




"10 Toes" should've been the single if it was longer.  this album isn't bad tho.  i think i was just expecting harder shit at 1st but it's not bad tho
