Review

"Victory Lap" by Nipsey Hussle is a bold statement in West Coast rap, cementing his spot as a heavyweight in the game. This 2018 release is a testament to his relentless grind and remarkable skill in putting together an album that’s both cohesive and gripping.

The production is spot-on, blending that classic G-funk vibe with modern hip-hop flair. Guest features don't just add noise; they bring depth and texture without overshadowing Nipsey's powerhouse presence. His rapping is both confident and fiery, delivering a message that clearly hits home.

Sure, some might argue it could’ve been trimmed a bit, but the impact of "Victory Lap" is incontestable. It stays true to Hussle's roots while charting new territories, capturing the raw emotion of his meteoric rise. The themes of grit and triumph resonate deeply, making this a must-listen for any rap fan.

Critics were all over this one, giving it an impressive 80/100 on Metacritic. The commercial success was equally striking, debuting at number four on the Billboard 200 and climbing to number two after Hussle’s tragic passing in 2019. The album's success is a testament to the enduring legacy of Nipsey Hussle and the indelible mark he left on the music scene. - Chase
