Snoop continued to praise Nip for what he left behind. And he said that he also managed to do something 2Pac never got the chance: to stop violence. “What [Nipsey] stood for was stopping the gang violence. He was from 60 Crip, but he loved gang members. He loved Bloods. He loved YG. And the bond he had with the ‘hood—different neighborhoods—was impeccable. He was like a street soldier.”

Snoop was close to both Nipsey and Tupac. He was close to Tupac until the very end. However Pac remained in the crosshairs of the gang culture, unable to unite both sides.
