It's my opinion that, if Barack did want to solve the gang problem, number one would be to work with people from the inside out, people who can actually give him an accurate analysis of the problem in L.A., because they're in it or at one point were a part of it, and now they're workin' to change it, and redirect the energy and the focus of it. And then consciously take steps to solve the problem. But I don't feel like zero tolerance, strict laws, locking everybody up is a viable means to stop that problem.

Nipsey HussleMoney is a tool โ itโs the means, not the end. Inspiration is the metric that dictates whether or not a project is a success. Itโs more realistic than trying to aim for radio play, or trying to satisfy an AR, or the other gatekeepers on these platforms. I donโt even know how to create with those things in mind. But if you tell me the goal is to inspire? That makes my job a lot easier.
