It still freaks me out that the story of Nipsey
Hussle’s murder was so shared in the immediate aftermath, and the guy that shot
him was referred to as Shitty Cuz, which appeared not to be the name he went
by, even on the streets, but instead the one given to him by others when he was
gang raped after accusations of being a snitch. Like I obviously don’t claim to
know shit about all of that situation, because it wasn’t my circle, but if
you’re a dude who got gang raped by other dudes, and (according to legend) you
got given the nickname “Shitty Cuz” in the act of that gang rape, and not only
did that become your nickname on the streets who had turned on you, but you
then became famous with that name, that’s fucked up. But also according to
grand jury documents from later this summer, Hussle was calling Holder out on
this in their conversation before the murder, including claiming people had
documents on Holder’s snitching.
Holder will be in jail forever now, and likely
solitary confinement for killing Hussle, where retribution awaits. It’s also
not out of the question (as people suggested at the time) that if Holder was
working with authorities, he may have been put up to the murder as well. It may
still be hard to believe for those who believe in institutions, but they do try
to assassinate upwardly mobile figures who are out here empowering the fucked
to not feel fucked.
The whole shit’s like seven sediments of sad –
young man who was doing great things killed in his prime, another young man’s
life to be spent behind bars, both young men grown in an environment where one
is channeled into self-destructive paths, the false promise of economic
salvation which unfortunately rested on the efforts of a sole figure to certain
extent… and it was all anybody was reading on their algorithm feeds for a week,
and we ain’t heard shit about it since. We’re all fucked to one extent or
another, by this simulation of a system we’re living in.
