In any case, Troubleman took the time to share a few thoughtful words on Nipsey Hussle's legacy, looking back on what sounds like an eventful night the pair experienced in Atlanta. "It's important to remember...Energy can not be destroyed...only transferred & redistributed," he begins, alongside a clip of Hussle dropping knowledge in an interview. "Nip You've impacted the generation immeasurably & Your legacy will live on forever."
I" miss our discussions & being able to challenge my plans & perspective by bouncing ideas off of each other over bottles of 1942 when we arbitrarily run into one another," he continues. "Like the time you came to Atlanta & I pulled up on you & we went to see Dave Chappelle,blew gas backstage after the show and mobbed to Magic City... the 3 of us exchanging philosophy about life, society, family, future vacation plans, business, politics, street shit, real estate, religion, & pretty much anything that came up on the way to the bottom of the bottle."
"Dave and I still talk about that night to this day & every time we do," concludes T.I. "I can feel the same energy as that night. And it's that energy that YOU produced and shared with so many of us that'll live FOREVER!!! We All Love, Appreciate & Miss you Lil Bro."
