Nipsey Hussle, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg joining The Game in one studio. Who could ask for a better tribute? And even with Nipsey not in the room physically, his presence is definitely felt.
Two live videos surfaced on Facebook this past Monday recorded by The Game. In one video, Game vibes off a beat fashioned by Dre while showing off the other members in the room. The second video shows Game, Dre and Snoop Dogg enjoying the same beat, but featuring a few lyrics previously recorded by Nipsey:
“Charismatic on these corners like Tupac on stage, f**k a dream if it’s not gonna pay.”
The Game has been steadily at work for several months on his new LP Born 2 Rap. He’s been dropping pictures and video with several of his peers in the studio, including A$AP Rocky, Ferg, G-Eazy and Miguel. Nothing has been explained, whether these artists just came by to hear the music or to collaborate. It has also not yet been confirmed if that Nipsey verse will appear on the project.
Regardless, whether Nipsey appears on The Game’s upcoming LP or not, it is a true sign of recognition and respect for these legends to keep his art and legacy alive. A major memorial will be held this Thursday at the Staples Center, with tickets sold out within minutes on Tuesday morning.
