Nipsey Hussle The Marathon Continues: Review
This is Nipsey's second mixtape from his marathon series. The first mixtape was simply called "The Marathon" this one, it continues. Also this is the second series of mixtapes from Nipsey. His first series was called "Bullets Ain't Got No Name" Volumes 1, 2 and 3. Nipsey has grown tremendously from each project. I would say "The Marathon" project was my favorite mixtape from 2009, so my expectations and anticipation for this project was quite high. Usually when an artist sets a high bar with a piece of work, the next one falls short.
The project starts off with the instrumental that "The Marathon" tape ended with. I thought that was a great start. It made me feel like Nipsey's going to pick up right where he left off. Then it goes right into "Road To Riches" where he talks about what he has been going through since his last effort. "Who Detached Us" (Feat. Steve Jobs). One of his best tracks yet. The hook is very powerful:
"Now every second is a classic, when nothing last/Gotta take a moment and appreciate the fact that, this world is turning faster and faster and once you felt the real its hard to tolerate the plastic/ I ain't no christian, ain't no catholic but I believe God gonna shine his light on everyone that never had shit/ I need some answers to these questions that I'm asking/ We use to be connected, who detached us?"
With the two short verses, he gets his point across. Ironically, the song ends with a speech from Steve Jobs about death. Very inspirational. He stays within the projects concept with "Run A Lap" with a catchy hook and shows the growth from his previous. "Thas Wat Hoes Do"(Feat. YG & Rimpau), the weakest track on "TMC". From eh verses to a repetitive hook. The "Everythang" beat caught my ear. The problem I have with this track is the use of auto-tune. You can hear the effort but it gets annoying. "Fly Crippin" (Feat. Coddy $urpreme) this song is directed to "Gang Banging" but I like it. Early in Nipsey's career, his whole projects were on the gang banging tip. I can deal with one especially if it sounds like this. "I Need That" (Feat. Dom Kennedy) two of my favorite artists coming out of the west coast. They couldn't go wrong, this is a hot track. This is the turning point in the project, Nipsey at his best. "Forever On Some Fly Shit" one of my favorite tracks on the project. Mellow beat and Nipsey flows effortlessly. "Tommy Gunz" (Feat. Yung Brodee) Nipsey's verse is quotable full and has a solid verse from Brodee. "Rose Clique" is a track that shows that few others on the west or hip-hop for that matter can go bar for bar with him. "10 Toes" is about standing on your own two feet.
"So don't shoot me down when I fly/ On the road to the riches there's a whole grip of niggas that will wreck they cars and won't ride".
Probably my favorite Nipsey Hussle track to date, "The Mansion" which is a amazing display of Nipsey's lyrical ability. This track was leaked months ago and I'm still finding quotables to this day. That's what makes a great artist in my eyes. "Outro" is a great ending to a good project where Nipsey reminds us to stay on your grind.
"She tells me that I'm wrong for not using emotions/Too busy to love a board and I can't lose focus/ but maybe in a different life/ maybe when we make it we'll meet at the finish line/ maybe this faith/ maybe God will send a sign.But more than likely he'll say nigga grind"
This was a very well put together project. It had a couple of bumps but has a smooth flow. Nipsey has grown a lot as an artist from "Bullets Ain't Got No Name". Most of the tracks on those projects were freestyles and a bunch of tracks with his group and less him. Now you can tell where the focus is now, himself. He can write hooks now to go with his lyrics. He can create songs. His beat selection is pretty good too, Nipsey transformed himself from a rapper to a hip hop artist. He is one of the top new artist's in hip hop today. He reminds me of Snoop Dogg with how raw he was when he came out. The difference between him and Snoop is that Snoop had Dr. Dre for guidance. Hopefully Nipsey gets signed to that right deal and situation where he is propelled into stardom. Nipsey has taught me that life is not a race, it is a marathon. Only the strongest and mentally fit make it. TMC!
