Warriors play Nipsey Hustle song in the aftermath of rapper’s tragic death

On Sunday afternoon, Los Angeles-based rapper Nipsey Hustle was shot and killed in front of his Marathon Clothing store.

The murder shook waves in the hip-hop community with many people sending messages sending their condolences via social media.

Nipsey wasn’t just a rapper, he was a huge influence in the community buying out property in the neighborhood where he grew up and creating opportunities for black men and women in the Crenshaw community.

The Golden State Warriors found a way to show some love for the fallen rapper by playing and dancing along to his song “The Last Time I Checc’d” from his critically acclaimed “Victory Lap” album from last year.

There is no word on who killed Nipsey yet, but two other people were hurt in the shooting. You can check out the video below.
