While you make some great points, I think you may have missed what Nipsey meant to a lot of young people. I am not familiar with him and had heard of him a few times prior to his demise but the response from his murder, caused me to do some digging. And what I see is not so much about Nipsey himself, a lot of young Black men see themselves in Nipsey from the stand point that he did it the non-traditional way. He wasn’t MLK or Malcolm. He wasn’t even Colin Kaepernick. He was a gang member who had a talent and he ‘finessed’ (as the young people say) that talent into where he is today. A celebrity, an entrepreneur and more. But what also stands apart from Nipsey is he stayed true to who he was. He wasn’t a college educated person, neither are his parents. He didn’t make it in TV like Drake or movies like Icecube and then give back. He took what he had and invested it in the community. So to some it is like he took two fishes and five loaves of bread and fed 5000 people. It was the idea and the mindset of Nipsey that people adore and idolize. He remained humble and committed to the people that he sees everyday. That made him unique and unfortunately it cost him his life. So many talented young people can’t even see themselves doing something like this website. Nipsey was saying to them yes you can and you will because I will help you do it and be successful at it. He did this type of thing everyday as a celebrity from what I understand. Again that’s rare because even most rappers talk about money, cars, houses, jewelry, etc. Nipsey rapped about nice things but also about reality for most POC. Again that made him unique to the point that Jay Z wanted one of his limited edition mix tapes early in his career. Just a few thoughts on why Nipsey was a Neo-Savior because we all know that aint nobody coming to save us but us. It’s been 400 years and a lot has gotten better but there’s still a long long long way to go.
