“Lead to the lake if they want a fish,
Make sure them n***as around you stick to the script”
As Nipsey Hussle’s critically acclaimed album, Victory Lap, continues to resonate with us, the Los Angeles rapper gives another track the visual treatment. For this Sergio directed clip, Nipsey decided to make “Hussle & Motivate” a mini movie rather than a regular music video.
The clip opens with a scene of Nipsey negotiating terms on getting a homie out of jail. But he learns that’ll take more than what he’s set aside. The plot thickens when he decides to rob an armored money truck to get the rest of the loot.
During the robbery a shootout with police erupts. An unmasked Nipsey shoots back before being swooped by the getaway car, driven by his ride or die Lauren London. Nipsey and Lauren get their Bonnie & Clyde on as Nip hangs out the coop distributing his bars of motivation. Shots cut back and forth between the chase & 1500 Or Nothin’ producer My Guy Mars snapping on keys.
The chase comes to an end in Nip’s hood where he and friends taunt a police officer, showing him what it’s like to be on the other side. When it’s all said and done, we can only hope the goal was achieved. Does Nipsey get his homie out of jail or does he end up in a cell next to him? Watch below to find out.
Cop #VictoryLap if you haven’t already!
