Nipsey is the hustle! All sides. But that’s what we are here for; learning about the ‘Side Hustle’ of Neighborhood Nip. And we’re here for everything the homie has to share/teach.

Dr. Boyce Watkins speaks on Jay-Z issues with Spotify & YouTube (Video)
There has been a lot of talk recently about music streaming and artists getting what they deserve regarding royalties. Â One of the main discussions has been over Jay-Z and his new company Tidal that is marketed as a platform created by the artists for the artists. Â There has been some push back from people stating that Tidal is a corporation out here to get rich just like all of the others. Â When it comes to Jay-Z recently he has implied that people have no problem supporting the Bill Gates and Steve Jobs but not supporting him because he is black. Â Dr. Boyce Watkins speaks on this and questions some of the things Jay-Z speaks on while opening up the discussion on true Black independence.
“Jay-Z can state he has 99 problems but the struggles of the Black Community is not one” – Dr Boyce Watkins
