Thousands are preparing to gather together at the Staples Center in the morning.

The world is moving from mourning the death of Nipsey Hussle to celebrating his life and legacy, and recently Master P and his crew visited the Marathon clothing store to pay their respects to the rapper.  "We lost a good man, a real soldier, somebody that represented us," Master P said. "Y'all see what this man was about. He was about peace. His life, his legacy is gon' go on. We gon' represent him to the end. Nipsey Hussle, to be honest, to see what this man did and what he turned out to be where the whole world coming together behind this man."

"It's just so much love out here for our people to be able to be here. It's incredible. His life, it inspires so many people. It even inspired me because for him to be in this, it's nothing but love. It's gon' change. The way we fight that hate is with peace and love.

Teyana Taylor was caught by TMZ paparazzi while trying to make her way through LAX, and you can tell by the look on her face that she is still having a difficult time accepting Nipsey's death. "He's just one of the greatest man," she said with a pause. "It just doesn't feel real. Still...I'm still in disbelief. Tomorrow's gonna be hard [at the memorial]. It's hard now but, you know...when that's your last time...it's very, very difficult."

"Stop the violence, man," she said sadly. "It's just not worth it. We're losing too many great people. Just stop. That's really it."
