How this IG page is curating the right mindset for artists everywhere
Music is a tremendous outlet for whenever we feel some type of way. It is a coping mechanism, a motivator, a lesson teacher.
And right now, we need all of these things in abundance.
Victory.rap is an Instagram page that highlights some of the greatest motivational rap quotes. Rap is a genre teeming with motivation, lessons, instructions on how to boss up and be your best self.
To no one’s surprise, Nipsey Hussle is featured heavily on this page, as the late great Crenshaw rapper was one of the greatest artists in dishing out wisdom for the next generation of rappers and everyday people alike.
His words still inspire. His lessons still hold true.
#Hussleandmotivate. Nipsey preached lessons frequently, like staying true to where we come from, never hating on another person and focusing on your own path.
Right now we’re stuck inside the crib indefinitely. The news is disheartening, and every new day there is more to be pessimistic about.
But this quarantine, this virus will someday come to a close. And once it is, in addition to a newfound appreciation for the little things in life we have so taken for granted, we all want to be on solid footing to make that next big leap.
That leap in our careers. That leap in our romantic lives. That leap within ourselves.
And that’s only possible by working hard and focused during this strange hiatus from normal life and daily routines.
The necessary energy to pursue a new creative path or a new bag may not be there naturally right now, but with some words of motivation and a new creative outlook, that energy can be summoned.
Victory.rap features motivational quotes from other artists, like Gucci Mane, Meek Mill, and 21 Savage, just to name a few.
All three of whom have dealt with extremely challenging circumstances in recent years.

Sometimes we just need a reminder of why we do what we do, who we do it for, and why it’s all worth it.
Rappers are an interesting case study because in many cases they came from extremely trying circumstances. They’re a rose from the ground up and have used their past struggles to motivate and inspire through their music.
Whether its Nipsey, Meek, Gucci, 21, or any other rapper, their words are dripping with knowledge. It’s just our job to listen.
