Rap Radar: Nipsey Hussle Interview

Nipsey Hussle’s appearances on the Rap Radar podcast, hosted by Elliott Wilson and Brian “B.Dot” Miller, stand as definitive, in-depth conversations that captured the late artist’s mindset at the commercial and critical peak of his career. Hussle sat for two interviews with the platform in 2018, bookending the release of his major-label debut album, Victory Lap.
The interviews are widely celebrated for highlighting Hussle’s intellect, patience, and entrepreneurial philosophy.
  • The Marathon Clothing Setting: The initial 2018 sit-down was notably recorded on location at his newly reopened flagship store in the Crenshaw district of South Central Los Angeles, a physical representation of his commitment to buying back the block and investing in his own neighborhood.
  • Business Acumen and Leverage: Hussle broke down his strategic transition from a fiercely independent artist to partnering with Atlantic Records. He detailed how his famous “Proud to Pay” $100 Crenshaw mixtape campaign created undeniable leverage, allowing him to maintain ownership of his master recordings and build his All Money In imprint on his own terms.
  • Artistic Vision and Patience: The conversations explored his meticulous approach to crafting Victory Lap. Hussle discussed his refusal to compromise for a quick payout and the importance of pacing oneself—a mindset popularized by his enduring mantra, “The Marathon Continues”.
  • Grammy Recognition: The second interview, recorded in December 2018, focused on his reaction to Victory Lap earning his first Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album, as well as his future business endeavors and plans for 2019.

Nipsey Hussle’s running his own race. Months after the release of his major label debut Victory Lap, the South Central rapper earned his first Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album. Returning for his second sit down, Nip discusses his nod, artistry, 2019 plans, & more!
