YG holds a tribute and a moment of silence in memory of Nipsey Hussle on the Sahara stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
and the subsequent outpouring of affection have defined L.A. hip-hop in recent weeks, and few were as affected as YG.“We lost one of the greats. A legend. Black Jesus — yeah, I said it,” YG told the crowd gathered at Coachella’s Sahara tent for one of the day’s most anticipated and beyond-packed sets. “Before it gets dark, it looks like heaven out here. I couldn’t get out of bed. The only reason I’m here is because I’ve been drinking tequila.
There was no way around that, and YG turned his “Bochella” into both an ad hoc memorial and a fiery statement of purpose that L.A.’s hip-hop will survive this loss and build off it.
