Before Victory Lap and global recognition, Nipsey Hussle sat down with Nick Barili for one of his most powerful and revealing interviews.In this in-depth Hard Knock TV conversation, Nipsey shares the blueprint behind The Marathon — a mindset built on ownership, perseverance, and purpose. He breaks down what it means to be truly independent, explaining why “the cornerstone to maximizing value is to own your masters” and how financial freedom became central to his mission.Nipsey also reflects on the sacrifices that shaped his journey — from burying $200,000 in the backyard and blow-drying mildewed money, to learning the difference between short-term wins and legacy moves. His stories of hustle aren’t just about survival; they’re about discipline, vision, and community uplift.With unmatched foresight, he talks about technology, entrepreneurship, and fixing broken systems through innovation, years before the world caught up to his thinking. And in classic Nipsey fashion, he grounds it all in realness — reminding us that “it’s a marathon, not a sprint. You gotta be built for the ups and downs.”From Crenshaw to Victory Lap, this remastered interview captures the wisdom, humor, and humanity of one of Hip Hop’s greatest visionaries — an artist, entrepreneur, and leader whose message still fuels a movement.👉 Subscribe for more legendary conversations: @HardKnockTV http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=hardknocktv#NipseyHussle #NickBarili #HardKnockTV #TheMarathonContinues #VictoryLap #Crenshaw #Entrepreneurship #IndependentArtist #OwnYourMasters #Motivation #Legacy #Wealth #Hustle #BlackAndBrownUnity #RealTalk #HardKnockTV20Years
