Today's episode is brought to you by Gray Block Pizza.
It's a premiere, a pizzeria, right?
You know, you don't even know what's going on sometimes and then, bam, you're eating pizza.
Well, you can do that at Gray Block, 1811 Pico Boulevard on the way to the beach in Los Angeles.
Gray Block.
Get that hitter.
Today's guest is an artist who I've wanted to have in since I started podcasting.
He's from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and currently lives in Atlanta.
This man does music, but this man does so much more.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Boosie, badass.
Shine that light on me I'll sit and tell you my story Shine that light on me I'll sit and tell you my story Lucy, thanks for coming in, man.
How long are you in LA for?
A couple days.
I got to get back for my daughter's birthday, but I'm coming right back, man.
Yeah?
And when you come out here, are you shooting a film right now?
What are you doing out here?
Right now, I'm just really hustling.
You know, I'm meeting with people about films.
I'm doing videos.
You know, it's the corona.
So every week or two, I'm picking states to go to and get money in and spread my wings.
So these next two weeks are going to be L.A., California, the whole Northern California and Southern California.
Yeah.
And whenever, because I feel like you work harder than anybody, man.
Right, right.
Every time I turn on your Instagram, you're like, it's going down tonight.
Club Percocet, Club Whisper, somewhere.
Right.
Somewhere.
Where does that work ethic come from?
It comes from hustling.
It comes from not having and hustling.
See, most of the people who's successful in the game or who got successful long term, they was hustlers in the street first.
A lot of them, you know.
Do you think your hustle changed?
I mean, obviously you were younger before you got incarcerated.
Do you think your hustle changed?
It's smartened.
It's smartening.
I always was a hustler, hustler, like a dog hustler, run myself to death, you know.
I was 22 with them, you know, living in cars, mansion, things like that.
So prison made me smarter.
It made me smarter as far as music, as far as other business opportunities.
I read music books and I always had hustle, though.
So it just went together, you know, but prison helped my hustle.
Do you think if you hadn't have gone to prison, like, do you think there's a better chance that you might not have lived as, like, were you going at a fast rate of life?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because you guys had it all.
I mean, I remember, I mean, I grew up in Louisiana.
You guys had it all.
I mean, you guys were like, you guys were kings.
And I mean, you're a king now, but you guys.
Yeah.
Because that's fast for a young man.
That's a fast life.
Yeah, it came fast, you know, but it didn't seem like it.
It seemed like it to other people.
But I had been in the game so long, I just, when I got my break and peaked, I just peaked.
I was everywhere.
But it's just a blessing, man.
It's just a blessing to be where I'm from and, you know, to jump out like I jumped out.
And now, you know, Baton Rudge, as far as rap, we're hugged.
Yeah.
When you were in prison, did you, because you were in Angola, right?
Right.
Did you ever get to go to the rodeo there?
Yeah, I went to the rodeo.
Did you really?
Yeah, I went to the rodeo.
I went to the rodeo my last year there.
I went to the rodeo.
They went crazy.
Did they let you perform or anything like that at it?
Nah, they ain't let me perform.
They just, you know, they just really, I think, got the crowd out there, you know, knowing Boosie was going to be out there.
So I had got real cool with the warden.
And it was beautiful seeing all those women.
You know, it'd be a beautiful sight.
You mean all the rodeo, the ladies that come to watch the rodeo?
Yeah, the ladies that come to watch the rodeo.
Some thick ladies out there.
Thick ladies.
The rodeo women be thick.
Pike pants with that buckle in the front.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Make you want to ride horses.
Would you stay and watch the events?
Yeah, hell yeah.
That's what, you know, you got to go get, make the inmates go get the shit funny.
They make the inmates go get the thing off the top of the wildest bull.
And you might win $500 to $1,000.
So, you know, inmates who don't have shit, they going up there and try to, they don't give a damn what that bull do to him.
That was one of my favorite thing when they grab the bull thing off the head.
Like capture the flag kind of?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Did you ever get out there or no?
Hell no.
I enjoy watching it, though.
Did they have bull riding too, or was it just kind of like this sort of thing?
Yeah, nah, they have bull riding.
Yeah.
To where whoever stay on the longest win.
Yeah.
Yeah, they got all that.
Yeah, we had a young guy in here who's like the world champion of bull riders.
Oh, okay.
And just seeing his body type, he's like his body kind of bends right in the middle.
Some people longer up top or longer legs, but his body bends right in the middle.
He's kind of perfect size for the way he rides on the bull.
Is there anything that you miss about being in jail?
Yeah.
I miss the murder, man.
Yeah.
I miss.
Because all of his appeals are up now, too.
Yeah, but God is God, God powerful, man.
You never know how this is going to work.
They might free him fight.
The evidence, they've been fine, and he should just be let go.
Yeah, two of the guys, I think I read, two of the people that testified against him took back their testimonies.
Right, right, right.
So it's a bad situation, but it's God working.
That's what I miss the most, just my friends in there, bro, that I wish you'd come home.
You know, that's what I miss the most.
You know, I don't, you know, I miss my friends.
Yeah.
That's what I miss, man.
did you guys?
Was there times in there?
I mean, obviously, I've never been to jail, but I wouldn't mind maybe doing a couple months or something, but I don't want to do like a long time, you know.
But was there ever time, is it kind of fun, like being able to just be around your friends and stuff, or you spend a lot of time by yourself?
It depends on if you're in protective custody or if you're in population.
You know, most rappers go to PC.
They stay in the cell their whole time in jail.
Is that what you had?
No, I don't do that.
Oh, what you're doing.
You're in the popularity?
Yeah.
You've always kind of been a man of the people and no matter what you're doing.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, you can't, you know, you drive you crazy in that cell.
Yeah.
You know, a lot of people just be afraid.
But, you know, if you're a rapper, if you can live on the streets, you can live in jail.
If you can survive in the hood, you can survive in jail because it's just a hood.
It's all the same thing.
It's just a hood.
So if you can survive in there, you can survive in penitentiary.
I had a Sweden penitentiary, man.
Really?
Yeah.
My last couple years, my first year, I was on, first two and a half, I was on death row.
So I was in a cell, a one-man cell the whole time.
So the day I beat my murder charge, I was let off death row, and I had a choice whether to go to protective custody to population with 150 people in the dome.
And you went in there?
Yeah.
Was it fun, kind of, once you got in there, or was it a relief to be by yourself?
Yeah, it was sweet, man.
You know, contact visits.
Like, could you have women come visit?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, man.
Damn, I don't know.
And then the first time I went to visit, everybody went crazy in the child hall.
So the warden, bro, came, you know, he looked out for me, him and Vernard.
They gave me my own visiting shit, 70-inch flat screen, my own movies, my own chef, my own picture camera.
Man, you know, so business was my everything, you know.
So I was laid out, man.
You know, I was laid out, and I appreciate it.
They just told me to stay out of trouble, and they would lay me out.
Yeah, I remember when you came out, man, I was really excited.
Actually, I've been a big fan for a long time.
And I remember I put a tweet on, because it was right before Easter.
And I remember I put a tweet on Twitter, and it said, Easter's come early.
He has risen.
That's what I put.
And how do you feel like social media, I feel like, like a lot of us were conditioned on social media.
Like we got it as it was coming out.
You know, we learned, like it became slowly a part of our lives.
You kind of have this unique way about you on social media that it's just, sometimes it's too real.
Like it's so real.
It's realer than, like a lot of people, everything is very, it's organized.
It's planned.
You know, they talk to somebody, do I do this?
What do I do?
But you fucking live, you come from like a different place with it.
Like it's such a real slice of what your life is like.
Do you feel like that's because you came into social media?
Like you missed that whole conditioning where we all got slowly conditioned to it.
You suddenly had it.
Does that make sense?
Basically, you know, I've been like this a long time, like just Boosie, just doing what Boozy do, saying what Boosie say, acting the ass on all my DVDs.
If you look back, I've been a clown.
It's just, it's a platform where I can show it.
Yeah.
And, you know, because everybody, if you don't see that side of me, you just think Boosie is the worst shooting motherfucker.
He done did all this shit.
If you just listen to it.
You know, you got, you know, if you let other people, not the music, if you let other people judge it.
Yeah.
If you let other people judge it, you're going to take from it is Boosie badass.
Yeah, he'll kill, he'll murder.
Right, right, right.
But a lot of people don't get to see that I'm a father, I'm a friend, you know.
A regular guy.
A regular guy.
So that helps me in some ways.
Yeah, it gives people a different edge because, yeah, if you hear Boosie badass, you see some of the pictures, you think, oh man, this guy.
Like, I was nervous.
Big Baby was in here and he said, oh, Boosie, a gangster.
You know, and he's a real gangster.
Is he really?
Like, he's a real gangster.
That's the thing that people don't realize about Boosie.
That's what he said.
And I was like, huh?
He's like, yeah, Boosie is one of the last gangsters.
But if you look through all history, every gangster had a personality.
From all the gangsters, the biggest gangsters.
Al Capone.
Al Capone.
Every gangster had a personality.
It just came out with the people around the people he loved.
You know what I'm saying?
And that's just basically it with me.
Like, when you see me on an interview, like, I'm myself.
Right.
I'm myself.
But, you know, how I was raised when I go places, when I go to clubs, when I'm around the public, you know, I was raised.
I was taught not to smile with niggas.
Right.
You know, my dad, when you go places, you a nigga don't smile with niggas.
You know, that's the nigga, that shows a form of somebody might want to try you.
Right.
You know, it's not that I'm practicing looking hard.
No, it's just a habit.
Yeah.
It's a habit.
You know, it's a habit when I, you know, when I, you know, it's no fear.
You know, and I'm going to bring that same kind of violence if it go that way.
So I can't be in public all, you know, me clowning, that's when I'm at home.
Yeah.
But nah, in public, it's not like that because I don't want people to just come try me like that.
So in public, it's like, yeah, come on, I got a gun.
Let's do it.
Yeah.
You know, so.
Is it, I've heard you talk about moving out of Baton Rouge.
And, you know, I know that, you know, you had instances with like the district attorneys there and stuff trying to attach charges to you.
And, you know, there was a lot of what seemed like from what I've heard, uncomfortableness between you and the law enforcement there.
Right.
Maybe not exactly the cops, but the overseers of them.
What is it about Atlanta that makes life more comfortable, do you think?
Atlanta respects superstars.
I don't stick out like a sore thumb.
Yeah.
You got 20 superstars.
Yeah, the biggest thing in Baton.
Yeah, they had U, they had See Murder, Silk the Shocker, Master P, and they had that tiger that's in the cage outside of the P-MAX Center.
Right, right.
And most of them from New Orleans.
Yeah.
Baton Rouge is different from New Orleans.
Baton Rouge is, you know, Birmingham to Atlanta.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, as far as racism, as far as everything, you know, that's the deep south.
Right.
So in Atlanta is different, though.
In Atlanta is different.
You know, it's black power.
Yeah.
Dude, I was on stage there a couple months ago.
I said, damn, it seemed like Black History Month started a city.
Yeah.
That's what it seemed like.
Yeah, it's black power.
You know, black people own things.
Black people have wealth.
You know, you see, we have wealth.
You see a lot of black policemen.
You see a lot of, you know, and the police show me love, man.
It's crazy, man.
It's like they want to help you.
You know, I can't say that for everybody in Atlanta.
Right.
But as far as the officers I done ran into, they want to see me prosper, man.
I was in my Rolls-Royce one day.
I'm slipping.
I'm at the light.
I'm smoking.
I'm high as fuck.
I'm slipping.
Man, I look to the side, clear windows.
Police looking at me.
He say, boost it.
Roll out the windows.
He telling me to roll out a window.
I'm like, fuck.
You heard me?
I know if he telling me to roll down the window and not pull off, I got it.
Right, right.
You say.
I roll out the window on him.
What up, man?
Man, put that shit out, man.
Go on here, man.
That's what he told me.
Put the shit out, man, and go on here, man.
Take care of your damn family.
Smoking weed out here like this.
Man, that shit was like, man, my heart just dropped.
So that was, you know, they always see me and be like, they just give it up to me, bro.
There's more understanding.
They understand, bro.
They understand that, you know, I didn't come to this city to be a problem.
They understand that I'm a businessman.
Right.
You know.
And wealth, too, changes things, man.
I noticed even just growing up in, like, we would go to Atlanta sometimes to see the Sugar Bowl or to visit an aunt that I had that lived there.
Occasionally we would drive up to Atlanta.
And it's the, for me, just as a, you know, I mean, just a regular white person pretty much.
But it was the first city that I saw that had like black wealth in it, you know?
Like in like a lot of, I'm talking a lot of money.
Like the car would pull up to a place and you'd be like, damn, and black people would get out.
He'd be like, what the fuck?
Yeah.
You know, it was just, it was different.
It was something that, you know, I grew up in a small town.
It was black and half black, half white, but, and we didn't have any wealth bus, but you had just never seen that before.
You know, like when I was growing up, the only wealthy black Americans that I knew were like Dallas Cowboys.
You know what I'm saying?
Like there was a couple people, but you didn't see it.
You never saw it in your face, I don't feel like until Atlanta.
Right, right, they're right.
They set a stage for a lot of shit.
Because when I went down there and I'm a season ticket holder of the seats, so I've been going to NBA games a minute and the first time I saw, you know, with a triple-A floor seats, you know, 70% black, you know, and that made me smile, you know.
Yeah.
You know, black women, you know, successful, you know.
And we're in these big boy seats, and that's a change of culture.
Yeah.
You know, it's not like that in Louisiana.
You know, it's not like that.
You know, it's not like that in other places.
You know, the stuff I see with the black people out here, it makes me proud.
Proud to be black.
Yeah.
Yeah, I can imagine it's totally different.
I mean, I just have my own perspective, but there is something that's exciting to see when you see, oh, if this culture has money, they can have a comfortable existence.
Right, right, right.
And I don't mean that of any judgment.
I just mean you know.
Right, I feel what you're saying, but I feel what you're saying.
And they got a ghetto everywhere.
They got a ghetto everywhere.
Slums, everywhere.
Yeah.
It's just when more people show value and wealth, it makes other people want wealth.
And that cuts out the bullshit.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
You mean like it inspires younger people?
It inspires people.
Yeah.
Because everybody has a role model.
Yeah.
And the role model is the ones with the most money.
So, you know, it's more role models.
Oh, yeah, I think like.
Yeah, especially I think for black kids, you know.
I mean, just because like, even if you think like, you know, when I was growing up, just like you would see people come to the school and they would say, okay, it's going to be career day at school.
Somebody's dad is going to talk about their career.
Right.
And it was always used.
Like, if it was a doctor, it was a white doctor.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, if it was.
Right.
But now, I think, especially in a place like Atlanta, you have that.
It's different.
You know, like people come and it's all types of people come and have a career.
And that gives a kid sitting there like, oh, I can have this.
It gives them a different aspiration.
What do you see like going on out here today, man?
This shit is wild, you know?
Do you see a difference between the protesters and the people looting or do you?
I think it's all well deserved.
Yeah.
It's just they got caught with the cameras, the camera phones.
Adds a lot to it.
In 89, 90, our neighborhood hero got killed by the police, just jumped on the hood and fucking smashed him.
It been going on.
It's just now we got them.
As soon as something happened, they out.
Right.
So we got them.
If they didn't have those cameras, he would be dead.
Glenn Floyd would.
If they didn't have those phones, that blessed us.
Now they see what they've been doing for 20, 25 years.
And do you think of a lot of the anger?
you think it's built up from people that have seen i've seen other people be killed that never you never hear their name again and so a lot of that anger just builds up yeah i think i think it i think it's a it's built it in built up over the years yeah and we're at a time right now where everybody pissed off this was the wrong time yeah yeah you know people out from their jobs people at home yeah okay tired of being at home people tired of being at home people tired of being at home uh you know our president's crazy yeah you
know it's just it's just you know it's not it wasn't the time for this yeah especially for black people yeah you know we've been kicked you know i'm gonna post something on instagram in two days i've been holding it yeah but i'm talking to trump i'm talking to everybody you know black people should be paid like the indians it's our race been through more than anybody why hasn't no president say why the black of america why are they not compensated you
know why having a no we just our wealth been taken from us we was hanged our wealth was stolen from us millions we're still our kids are dying today black families should be compensated why no motherfucking president never said that even obama yeah i don't get it yeah i don't get it the indians we built it we thought damn indians the indians deserve for
the bless everybody must be blind that's true i won't know why a motherfucking promoter not a promoter i'm thinking about my bag i won't know why all these people who interview the presidents all these people be behind these damn cameras why y'all never ask do you mr mr trump do you feel the blacks should be compensated for what they've been through in their life i don't know why no president never asked that yeah we've been fucked over we've been fucked
over kicked in ass hanged oh made to also do uh plays and stuff they didn't want to do remember that bro it's bad bro like the blacks done been through it more than anybody bro any race will tell you that nobody has been done like the blacks we deserve to be compensated every motherfucking month yeah every motherfucking month black families should be compensated so do you like what do you even know what an amount like that would look like
i don't know but if you got trillions for walls you got trillions for us yeah we don't make up that much of the population yeah we don't make over half of it you got money for us if you got money for walls they shred money up and throw that shit away every year you can give us to us blacks who've been down and kicked and hanged how hard he did say hanged a lot too but i feel you though yeah because that was a hanging yeah yeah when you when you hang somebody you put something on their neck and you cut off their oxygen until there's no life
left that was a modern day hanging yeah but you put something on somebody neck and you squeeze it i got this in a post i'm posting on that was a hanging when you when you hang somebody you put something on their neck until there's no response yeah it was no response for two minutes that's an extra hanging after they hanging they do this boom they'll take him off you let him hang for two extra minutes that was a modern day lynching he should get the death penalty
yeah do they have the death penalty i wonder in that state third degree murder that ain't he won't he won't do five years you know what's the top degree you can get first first degree and what is manslaughter manslaughter is in some states it carried five years in some states it carried 20 and some states and that shit don't carry nothing that's probation you get probation damn that is your first then he a police officer yeah like you know like and then they wouldn't even arrest
the other police officers too yeah that's crazy if if if like like that girl say if four black people go kill somebody and all of them in the car all of them get that murder charge yeah you know i don't care if one shot i don't care if one all of them get that murder charge yeah for the beginning even if they was in the car you know not on camera they're on camera right you know so it shows racism also right it shows racism towards cops that's why i don't i don't i don't feel sorry that they burning this
motherfucker down i think they actually need to burn this bitch down till we get our compensation yeah that'll be nice every family and black we burn this bitch down today we get compensation hey it that'll be worth it like i say about five thousand a month to every family yeah do you feel like one of the biggest things that plagues the black community is just not having the finances i don't know man i think i think we need to build our own economy that's why i think we can we had a
move right now with the rise and we can build our own economy we need to get the billionaires together y'all should own more of your shit we should build our own economic make our own music yeah we should build out to our own banks yeah you know same thing what they did with black wall street back in the days in tulsa oklahoma yeah i know that they they what happened they burned it down yeah they burned it down took everything you know we black those black people all those black people was worth millions of dollars that will be billions today right so
uh we probably need to start our own economy man economy of our own foods our own amazon and everybody get together and make it make our own economy yeah you know what i'm saying even if we got it even if we got to get fronted from somebody else but we can start we could we can start our own economy our own state you know and and yeah and see how much they miss us and we can and we can put a real hole in their pocket yeah because we run the fashion we
run all this shit you know the black people run the fashion a lot of we want we want we we bro even white people want to look like us okay i agree you know real shit especially if they're 14 or 15 14 15 years old you know they oh i used to be ice cube i remember writing ice cube on my cheek before i go to school bro that's how much i wanted to be on i wanted to be like every ever when you see that that fashion with that rap shit yeah it attracts you man even if you don't know the music yeah you want the jacket you want the michael jackson jacket you
want you know yeah so we can make it it's just it's the ownership too it's the ownership that's what it is yeah so i was saying i was thinking i i thought i was talking about this with my pro scrim guy who i who i do pro scrim with and uh it's a gaming company and uh first we would have to buy the land that's what we would have to do first we would have to buy the land you know they got they got a lot of cheap land out there, but we have to buy land, man.
We have people doing it.
Tyler Perry has that huge place in Atlanta.
He has that huge studio.
Yeah.
That place is.
But that's for movies.
Right.
But I'm talking about for life.
I'm talking about sending our kids to school.
Sending our kids, making them business-minded to be rich.
Not just for film.
I'm talking about a life.
A whole state of life.
Black life, livelihood.
Our own fucking tomato, everything.
And we will hurt the world, man.
We will hurt the world.
We will hurt the world.
And once we do that, we probably can start our own laws.
Because they got motherfucking towns, they got hick towns in these states that own their own land, that they police station have their own laws.
And we buy the fucking land and we have our own laws.
It's just black people don't want to put it together like that.
That's how I would feel.
We always against each other instead of with each other.
Do you think that that could start to change some?
Do you think that that is getting better?
I think we gonna get stronger now.
Yeah.
Because I've been going places everywhere I've been going.
People been like, you know, like my black brother.
Like, bro, like, I just feel like we getting stronger.
You know, people starting to care more about our black people.
Yeah.
And we starting to care about us more.
Yeah.
Well, you do a good example.
I feel like, I mean, with the chips, the cologne, I mean, everything you try to, I feel like lead by an example of your work ethic and the way that you create your own infrastructure for yourself.
You know, everything that has to do with you, it feels like runs through you and that gives you control over it.
Where do you feel like you got that kind of business mind?
Because I have a problem with Hollywood too.
It's one of the reasons why I started our own studio, right?
Because so we can make our own stuff.
I don't like a company that I don't even know these motherfuckers owning a part of me, telling me how I can look, how I can behave.
And we've prospered, man.
Like we sell out tickets.
I mean, I did a world tour last year.
I'm not bragging, but we did it on our own.
Because I don't like somebody owning a piece of me.
I don't like somebody exploiting me.
So I can only imagine kind of the level that that feels like to a black person, you know?
Right, right.
You know, a lot of people, a lot of people, a lot of people look at my hustle and they value it, you know, because I ain't letting motherfuckers get over on me.
You know, I know what I can do.
I know, you know, so everything I'm in, I got ownership.
There's not one thing I'm in that I don't have ownership.
Yeah.
You know, I'm not no promoter.
I'm not finna promote your brand or clothes, you know, unless it's on Instagram.
Right.
But that's different.
That's a business.
That's a business.
You know, I get paid for that too.
But nah, it's, I got to have ownership because, you know, once you sell it, you know, I guess nothing.
You might want to sell it today and I guess nothing.
So I got to have ownership.
That's just how I am.
And I'm in a position to do that.
You know, I get money.
I drop a CD every month.
I have merry money and I'm independent.
Yeah.
So, you know, I don't got to take a couple crumbs from nobody because I'm already self-made.
Yeah, it's nice, isn't it?
Yeah, it feels good when your chicks coming to you.
Yeah.
And nobody else have to pay you.
Do you feel sometimes, because this is a side effect of my, the way I operate, I do feel sometimes I feel left out by the mainstream.
Do you ever feel that?
Yeah.
Always.
I always been, they've always tried to put me out of the mainstream.
Boosie made it to the mainstream because Boosie made it to the mainstream.
You know, I came out, I was 14, you know, 15 years old, 98. I didn't get on BET to 04, 03, 04. So, you know, now, though, I'm talking now.
I mean, I feel like you've taken on a whole different, I mean, you're a brand new.
You got to understand the way the way I've came home and turned into an entrepreneur and five, six different things.
People in higher places, people in higher places don't want me on side of them.
I'm a threat to motherfuckers.
I got to help myself.
By me having ownership and shit, it's not like that.
Nobody's going to help you like that.
Yeah.
Because they could be jealous.
You know, you don't get help from motherfuckers who can really help you.
You know, you're not going to get that because they know you're a threat to them.
You know, and I feel like that's in so many ways.
You know, I'm left out a lot of shit, but I don't dick ride.
Right.
You know, I don't.
I don't climb.
I don't need nobody.
I don't want anybody else's help.
You know, I don't need to hang to get nothing.
If it don't come to me, God ain't making for me.
That's how I feel.
So I'm just, you know, I'm just boosting, man.
And they can't stop it.
And once you got a following and once you got a, I got a cult following, people love me.
It's crazy, bro.
Dude, there were times when I even would get, I'd be like, there was a little, well, I'll be honest, I didn't love you anymore, bro.
And then I fucking re-loved you.
Yeah.
So, bro, like, you could be loved twice, man.
Like, that's how much, that's how, you know what I'm saying, though?
Like, that is how, I think that's a sense of attraction that you have to fans, you know, is that they could be like, nah, and then they'll be like, oh, all right, yeah.

And now back to the episode.
We've got a question right here from this fucking white guy.
Theo sub boozy.
What up?
Had a question about Takashi6ix9ine actually.
So the fact that he just got out of prison from being a snitch and everything, do you think it's right that if people kind of like a new song to support it and get it to like high on the billboard charts?
Or do you think the community should just stop fucking with them altogether?
He's not live either.
It's just a video he sent in.
Okay, I don't really want to comment on Takashi 6ix9ine right now.
Does he remind you of him?
Does he remind you of you when you were young at all?
Nah, you know, like, I wouldn't fake it.
Like, I wouldn't, you know, when I was young until this day, I'm still the same person.
Like, I'm built like that, you know.
So I wouldn't, you know, I don't really want to comment on Takashi 6ix9ine.
Cool.
Because, you know, it ain't worth it.
You know, I don't really want to comment on certain situations I don't comment on because I'm not none of the dudes.
He's not beefing with you.
Yeah, you're not in his world.
Yeah, I don't get, like, I'm boosted.
I don't get no clout from beefing with 6'9, bro.
Like, that don't go together.
Yeah.
Like, I don't get no, nothing, no cool points for that.
So, uh, that ain't gonna look right, bro.
And I'm not them other dudes.
Like, I'm serious, bro.
Like, Nick, will you fix this mic?
I'm serious.
I just want to make sure it's up.
Yeah, that's it right, though.
That thing.
You need to come out with them boosty Viagras, bro.
What about that?
I'm working on it.
Them hitters, bro.
Yeah, I'm working on it.
You know?
Because, dude, I used to get the ones at the gas station.
The first ones they came out with had like a picture of a horse on the package.
And they would make my nose bleed, bro.
They wouldn't even make my dick hard.
Yeah.
And I would keep taking them, man, because I thought, oh, maybe I didn't take enough.
I'm working on some shit, real herbs, bro.
Like, real herbs, BADs, badass dick pills.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Yeah, but we promoting them for the younger generation.
Yeah, but I'm promoting them for the rappers having three bitches a night and got to get back to their bitch trying to get up.
So I'm promoting for, you know.
For the traveling man.
For the traveling man.
Yeah, you know what I'm talking about, the casino man.
Yeah.
You know?
Dude, I think, I think, man, I never, actually I hooked up with one black girl one time, but I've always been a little bit Right.
Like they, like, sometimes if you fucking them, it seems like you're fucking them, but sometimes they fuck back a little, you know?
Do you think that?
Like, they seem like more, I don't know what I'm trying to say.
So you saying white women are more missionary, like?
It's a little more docile.
Like, I feel like, yeah, it's more like you petting something, you know?
Whereas I guess my concern, not concern, but yeah, if I'm having sex with a black girl, then I feel like, damn, she's gonna, it's more like wrestling.
Like, more like she's gonna really fuck me, you know?
Black girl like to ride that dick.
Damn, bro.
Oof.
Black girl like to fuck, because you know, she don't want you to say after you fuck the shit out you.
She won't be like, you know, they got a little pride with them.
Yeah, they got some pride with them.
Yeah, more white girls like to just be slayed and fucked.
Ooh, honey, you fucked this shit out of me.
Throw something on me.
Spill something on me.
Spill a Gatorade on me.
Spit on me.
More black girls got a little pride to where they'll ask you, was that pussy good, you know?
Damn.
Yeah.
Really?
That's why she was throwing it on you like that.
Makes me a little nervous.
I got to get out there more, I think.
Yeah, you got to get out there.
I'm going to cut up some of my parties, man.
Really?
Yeah, man.
Well, I did hear, though, that's another thing Big Baby said that you had the wildest parties, man.
Yep, wildest.
Yeah, man.
He said, wildest, bro.
I mean, everything, bro.
Yeah, it be going down, man.
I like to have a good time, bro.
I like to have a good time, and I like fun girls.
Yeah.
And I like to see, it's really about showing everybody else a good time.
Yeah.
It's fun, huh?
You're walking around and everybody and just everybody having a good time.
Everybody like, motherfucker, I love you.
This is the best shit ever.
So that's what I get out of it.
You know, that's what I get out of it.
There was something you talked about a little while ago about like sometimes I notice even, you know, growing up in a poor white environment, like a lot of times they don't, you know, you feel like you don't feel like you don't exist sometimes, you know, because there's a lot, I feel like, and I didn't grow up in Like a redneck place.
You know, I didn't grow up in like, like, my mother was an educated woman, you know, like she's a hard worker, but we weren't like country, you know, like we weren't like rebel flags or like, you know, fish and that kind of, we just, we're just kind of regular people, you know.
Right.
And sometimes it feels like when you're in a community, in a poor environment, that the hardest thing about the environment is the environment itself.
Right.
You know, it's your name.
It's your neighbors.
Even though if they are your friends, they sometimes people don't want to see you leave.
People don't want to see you change.
What do you think some of the tougher things in a black environment that make it the toughest to leave it, you know, to get out of it?
Something really got to happen to you for you to leave it.
Because when you get money, most times you're not leaving where you at unless something really happened.
I had that problem.
I used to feel like, you know, I ain't going nowhere.
This is my city.
You know, ain't nobody.
I don't care what's going on.
And a lot of people have that frame of mind.
And it's the wrong frame of mind.
As soon as you get money, you got to go.
Because.
Because you've changed.
The one who wanted to fight you, now he wanted to kill you.
Right.
The police who didn't know you, he wanted to arrest you.
Because people have something to gain by getting something over on you now.
Right, right, right, right, right.
And you get hatred from the people who went to school with you, who feel like they had Right.
But it's better to go to another city where you'll get loved, you know, duck off in a nice spot and work on your career.
Because I said over many times that most people get killed in their own city.
And it's just sad.
You know, it's a dangerous job as a rap.
Is it?
I feel like we got the most dangerous job in the world.
Yeah, because nobody want to kill a comedian.
Nobody want to kill a comedian.
Nobody thinking I'm going to gun this motherfucker.
If he don't hit this punchline, I'm taking a sword to this motherfucker.
You know, nobody wants to kill a hockey player.
You know, you know, hey.
That's true, man.
But do you get scared them putting music out?
Do you ever get worried that one of your past songs created such a, like a, I'm a dog, you know, that it might have inspired somebody enough to be a fucking killer and now they're going to come in.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, do you ever worry that your music could inspire like some John Lennon shit?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, you could be the Black John Lennon, man.
That's a good song name, Black John Lennon.
Hey, but I don't know.
Dude, he was on a bicycle and somebody shot him, I think.
I just hate that, you know, so many of my fans who come up on my music are dead now.
And is there a, I mean, I know the black community is just a, I mean, this is obviously just from my perception, it's more, it seems more dangerous, you know?
It seems more dangerous.
Is it exciting, though, sometimes when it's more dangerous?
Like, white community, you're going to be fine, kind of, probably.
Like, you're going to have breakfast and shit's probably going to be okay, you know?
It's normal.
It's not exciting.
It's normal.
Like, violence is normal.
Things that happen in the hood is really normal because it's been happening since you were a kid.
Right.
So you see somebody murdered at 8, 9, 10, all through your life, when you get 17, you're not going to have much respect for life.
Probably you're going to have different perceptions of things.
Yeah, either it's going to turn you all the way away or all the way to it.
That's the perfect thing.
Yeah.
As in the hood,'cause you...
Once somebody gets murdered close to you, you feel you can do it.
Even if you didn't do it before.
You take somebody's life, you mean?
Yeah.
That's how hood babies are.
Once somebody takes something you love, you feel you can do it because it's right there.
It's like an automatic.
Yeah.
Wow, that's interesting.
That's interesting.
So, yeah, and if that's been going on for such a long time, then of course that feeling is going to be in people.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like generally.
Like I five.
Yeah.
Dang it.
Like I five.
That's heavy, man.
That's intense shit.
We got a video nicked too that came in.
Here comes somebody right here, this gentleman.
What up, Boosie?
What up, Theo?
I got a debate for y'all.
Raising canes or Chick-fil-A?
Raising.
Gang, gang, go tigers.
Gang, bruh.
Damn, duh.
Raising cane, duh.
What?
Raising cane, duh.
Don't take so, bruh.
Damn, Chick-fil-filt.
Raising cane.
Oh, my God.
No comparison.
You tell me you make it through the Atlanta airport without hitting the Chick-fil-A, showing up at the counter, seeing the beautiful fucking girls that work at the counter.
Admit it.
They got the best looking women that work at the counter.
You know when I started eating Chick-fil-filt?
Huh.
When I came home from prison, flying in airports.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You fly Delta, do you?
Yeah.
So I was raised on Raisin.
It's no other chicken finger.
That was the first other chicken finger.
I never ate a Zaxby's.
I still ain't ate that.
I still ain't ate that shit in Atlanta.
I looked at it.
I say no.
It took my distant new Raisin Cane.
I looked at it.
I say, hell no.
Because I was raised on Raisin Cane.
Like, it's the first ones in Louisiana.
Like, I was raised there.
Yeah.
But, dude, Chick-fil-A, man, you get that little chicken sandwich.
You open that bitch up.
It's in that foil, bruh.
That thing looking at you like a little newborn baby, got that pickle on its head.
I made it before, but I just don't like them soggy-ass pickles.
All right.
Y'all got them soggy-ass pickles.
The ice cream, pretty good.
The fucking nuggets, too small.
One of those nuggets is three McDonald's nuggets.
Now, come on, I'll five chicken filet ass up.
Now, I like chicken filt, but they ain't messing with no raising cane, though.
And there you go, man.
I think you got it.
I think you got your answer, man.
What was something else that I wanted to ask you about?
Oh, it's a different game now.
Before you were incarcerated, and now, the rap game, does it feel different?
It feels softer from just a listener's perspective.
Do you feel like it's a different, it's different?
It's different as far as music-wise.
It's not about who rhyming, who spitting lyrics, who the hardest as far as that.
It's not about that.
It's just about who make the best song that people like now.
You know, the flowing and all that hit, that's deceased.
That shit is mostly deceased.
It's just harmonizing now.
Yeah.
Like Bruno Moore, you like him?
Yeah, yeah, I like him.
Yeah, I like Bruno.
It's just harmonizing now.
It's not about, you know, people don't have time to sit down and listen.
People in their phones now.
People used to have albums with all the lyrics on them.
Yeah, remember on the inside?
All the lyrics on the inside and shit.
It's not about that no more.
People don't have time.
They just want to hear the hook and vibe.
They don't have time to even really listen to what you're saying.
Most people don't even know what the rapper's talking about.
That's true.
Yeah, a lot of times.
So hip-hop has changed.
You just got to change with it.
Do you feel like you could see yourself one day having some ballads or maybe doing that boosted Christmas album?
Come on, man.
Oh, yeah, I did a Christmas album this year.
Yeah.
I got a Christmas album out now.
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
So, man, music is power.
Music is what crossed over racism.
People be talking about sports and all this shit.
Music is, you can't leave.
Some people can't live without music.
Music crossed over white people accepting black people.
Music.
Sammy Davis Jr.
James Brown.
Carvin Gaye.
And Elvis Presley, the guy that wrote Elvis Presley's songs.
I'm not sure who he was, but some guys out of Memphis, I think, that wrote some of his early hits.
Sid Tepper.
What's his name?
Sid Tepper.
Sid Tepper.
Do you think that, but you can see yourself having a ballad album one day?
You get a little bit older.
You know what I'm saying?
I can see.
I could do it now.
But I'm talking weight, though.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know?
Yeah, I can see it.
Music is fun to me.
Is it?
It's fun to me.
I like to do it.
You know, like, you know, I like to do it.
You know, I like to do it.
I like to show my greatness with music.
I'm just on the independent level now.
Do you feel like, like, you know, I work as a comedian.
I've had a, it's been a long road.
It's been like 17 years maybe working in the past three years have been started to be good.
You know, I've started to reap like earnings from my work, you know.
And sometimes I wonder if it's really something that I did or do I think that I just was given a gift.
You know what I'm saying?
Do you ever feel like that?
Do you ever feel that about yourself?
Do you ever think?
Yeah.
God make people to be the chosen ones.
To do certain things.
Yeah, some people you pick to be a boss.
You pick to be an underboss.
God pick you for these things.
Yeah.
You know, everybody not made to be the man.
You know, you was picked that, God gave you these gifts so you can, you know, you were picked.
Simple as that.
You had other people who probably had way more talent than you, but died on the way.
Yeah.
You were picked.
Do you, if there was something else, you ever look at another job, and it could be any type of job, a small job, a big job, a quiet job, a loud job.
Do you ever look at another job and think, oh man, that's something you feel inside like, oh, that's something that I would have liked to do.
Besides what I'm doing now?
Even if it wasn't a great thing.
Whatever I would have did, I would have ran it.
Yeah.
My mom always told me.
Did she really?
I've been running my clique since three, four years old.
I've been the leader of my clique in every clique since the playground.
Since the beginning, yeah.
Whatever I would have did.
You're a leader.
I would have led.
Yeah.
And anybody can tell you in my project, I've been the leader since birth.
Like, so whatever I would have did, I don't know what it was.
You know, if I would have played basketball, I would have been in point guard.
Right.
You know, I would have been a CEO at a corporation.
Yeah.
You know, that's how I feel because I always, I know how to bring people together.
And I know how to make people make money too.
Yeah.
Who was big?
When I was in college, Taurus Bright was big.
Do you remember him?
Yeah, Taurus Bright scored 70-something points.
Yeah.
Him and Chris Duhan played against each other at Salmon and Slidell.
Oh, I would have liked to see that.
It was the biggest thing in the state, man.
I would have liked to see that, dog.
It was the biggest thing.
And Taurus was the nicest guy, too, man.
I used to see him in New Orleans sometimes.
He worked at the Sheraton for a while, too.
Oh, okay.
After basketball.
Oh, okay.
You watch LSU basketball?
Nah, I watch it now.
My nephew played for LSU.
Really?
Yeah.
Javante Smart.
Oh, really?
That's your nephew?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, with them short-ass shorts?
Yeah.
Yeah, man.
He's good, bro.
I thought he did better the year before.
I think he'll get back to doing good again.
I think, yeah, then he's working hard right now.
Yeah, we finna get him now.
You know, he just had this shit with the NCAA and all that shit.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Him and Coach Wade both had it.
Tremont Waters was great, though, wasn't he?
You know what I'm talking about?
The little point guard?
The light-skinned one.
Yeah.
And he plays in Maine now.
He plays on like a triple-A team.
But damn, he was good.
But I think last year they didn't use Javante correctly, really.
I think they had him playing, I don't know if the year before, sometimes they let him, they had him bringing the ball up sometimes.
I like it better when he – Yes.
I feel like he serviced.
He just, his skill set was better.
I think he's still going to have some good seasons, though.
Oh, that's crazy, man.
I didn't know that was your cousin.
Yeah.
I just want to correct the guy who wrote for Elvis Presley that was black was Otis Blackwell.
Sid Tapper was a white guy.
I just wanted to correct that.
I always felt like that black people didn't get scared.
Like, I've always felt like when I was young, like I would felt like sometimes I would get scared and my black friends would not get scared.
Like they wouldn't, they just didn't have like the same, they didn't feel fear or something the same way that white people did.
Does that make any sense to you, do you think?
Right, because this is a different upbringing.
It's a different upbringing, you know.
Most times it's a different upbringing than y'all household.
You know, you know, our whoopings are different.
Right, right, right.
You know, so if you get beat by your daddy, you know, your mom beat your ass with a switch.
Our moms beat our ass, so fighting you, that's not shit.
Right.
You know, we feel our mothers and fathers more than anything in the streets.
That's fun.
Yeah.
You know, like.
Yeah, that would be a thing, man.
I would feel like if I got in a fight with a black kid, I'd be like, damn, I'm scared and he's about to fucking have fun.
And that was a scary feeling, you know?
Yeah, because it's like that.
You know, we go out there to do that shit.
So it's different, man.
It's different.
Do you feel like music, like a lot of music has violence in it, you know?
It has energy.
It has talking about the streets, places you grew up.
Do you feel like that contributes to like black on black crime?
Like it contributes to young men, you know?
In some ways.
I can't say it doesn't.
But in some ways, it also take care of millions of black families.
Music moguls and music take care of millions of black families.
So it evens out, but it's up here as far as success.
It's a way for us to tell our story.
Now we make the money that only the country singers told their stories on the porch.
Now we tell our stories on the porch.
They're just different.
And we can't blame us for telling our stories because we was put in these situations.
You know, this country put us in these situations.
So, you know, music made us an opportunity to get money and get rich and get respected.
So us talking our life ain't no different than a country singer talking about what's going on on the porch, somebody breaking somebody's heart, drinking a beer, woody woo.
That motherfucker fucked my cousin.
You know what I'm saying?
It's just, you know, he fucked his cousin.
He got shot.
So it's just a couple exclamation points on it.
That's how I look at it.
He got shot.
What was something from when you were young that you missed, like just being a kid?
What was something that you missed?
Because I hate getting older, man.
I hate it, bro.
I hate it, man.
Like, I used to miss, like...
I don't really miss much because it was, I don't really miss the struggle.
Really?
You know, I miss everybody hanging out there in front of my grandmother's house, you know, like family.
You know, that's what I miss the most, the hanging.
That's why every time I go to Louisiana, I do the same thing that I did when I was a teenager.
Yeah.
Throw barbecues and, you know, because that's what I miss.
Oh, you miss all kind of shit, man.
You're like, I need anybody that does fucking surf snowballs.
Yeah, like, I need you.
I miss that.
I miss being that little kid and one, one, you know, accent.
I love that feeling of the biggest drug dealer giving me $20, $10.
Yeah.
You know, that made my whole week.
So I go back and I do things that I always wanted to see.
And that's special to me.
I'm living somewhat of my childhood as an adult.
I'm the king now.
Yeah.
You know, I know how it felt when that little kid was just looking at me.
You know, and he just stared.
And I just stare at him.
I know not to do that from how that affected me looking at the big timer.
I see what you say.
Does he like me?
I didn't know he just looked at me.
Right.
So I, what's up, little nigga?
Why are you looking at me?
What's up?
Right.
Break that ice.
I break that ice.
I never let...
Because one time I looked at one of the bosses like that.
I was just looking at him.
He was fresh as fuck.
But he looked at me like...
And just turned his head, you know.
And that stuck with me for like four years.
Because you're thinking, what is he thinking?
No, doubt two, because he ended up getting me some money a couple years after that.
But that stuck with me with Big Kenny.
Yeah.
It stuck with me, bro, because I ain't know.
What he thought?
You thought maybe he didn't like me?
Yeah.
Yeah, I feel that.
So I break that ice with him when I see them kids doing that.
I always.
What's going on, little man?
What up, man?
What's up, man?
What you want to holler at?
You want to take a picture?
Come on.
Yeah.
You know, because them the ones who really, they care.
Something on their heart, you know?
Yeah, and let that change his mindset.
Then he don't leave wondering, okay, how does that man feel?
Does somebody not accept?
Right.
He leaves saying, man, boosted cool people.
Yeah.
And it's okay for me to inquire and be curious without getting shut down.
Yeah, because that could dramatize a kid.
That's real, yeah.
Your kids have a different life.
Your kids have had a different life than you had growing up.
Right.
Do sometimes.
They don't have the same hustler as though.
They don't.
And there's nothing you can do about it.
Because so much is given to them.
It's crazy.
Isn't that crazy, bro?
They don't have nearby the same hustlers.
And you can't recreate that.
You can't name 10% of the kids under 15 who are saving money.
Yeah.
You can't name them, bro.
You know, because.
It's different.
It's different.
You know, you can't name kids who Everything is right here in their hand.
Yeah.
They don't have to go for nothing.
They want to know if a girl like them is right there.
They want to find out about a job.
They want to ask something.
It's right there.
It's different.
And I feel like that disabled kids.
Disable a lot of athletes in the world also.
Because a lot of kids don't want to go out and play.
They just want to sit right here.
Yeah, well, they got to be playing Fortnite.
If you was raised in the 80s and 90s, you had to be outside.
Your fun had to come from outside.
Yeah, you had to make it.
You had to make it.
Yeah.
Now it's all right here.
now everything is all right here.
They look like creatures almost when they get locked in.
Right, right.
You didn't have to go really study the spelling test and all.
You just pull it up.
Yeah.
And you know, do you, isn't it interesting, though, how you can't recreate that for them?
You can't, it's like, it's weird.
Once you get a generation of wealth, there's something that it does negatively.
Negatively to the next generation.
Yes.
Isn't that crazy, bro?
Yes, that's crazy.
I was just watching that on a show on American Greed, what happened with some shit just like that because we give it to them, but we didn't.
You see, that's what happened with my couple of my kids.
I gave it to them.
So $2,000, $3,000 is not a lot of money to them.
They blow through that shit.
That's crazy.
You know, so I'm raising my other generation of kids, my 9,000, 10, 11-year-old.
Every day I go to work.
Every day I'm in Atlanta, I go to work.
They got to get up and go to work with me.
If we shooting videos, they got to have the props.
They got to be working.
If this is every day, they got to check in at my door at 7.30.
This set, I'm going to make them work for everything.
I pay them $150 a day when they go work with me.
I told them, you stay with your daddy this summer.
That's $17,000 down a piece for you.
And this is instilled in their head now.
That's how you make money, you work.
That's how you make money, you work.
So when they get 16, it's going to be like a sin to ask me for money.
They're going to be so on stack.
And once you get to see a nose band stack, my boss fell in love with it.
My boss, they say, daddy, I made $1,200 in eight days.
I done made $12, you know.
It's exciting.
It's exciting.
But if we just and just give it to them, they would never know the worth.
It's crazy, though.
Isn't it crazy?
Because you would think, though.
You would think they would have the same as you.
It doesn't carry.
It doesn't.
It's really interesting, man.
Yeah, because my brother and I, when we were growing up, we didn't have anything.
But now my brother's worked really hard in Baton Rouge.
He has a tree cutting company.
And now he has kids.
They have a different life, you know.
And as part of it, it's exciting.
Do you think you would have had that if y'all would have had rich parents?
No, I wouldn't be the same person.
I would never have been a comedian.
Because I had to be a comedian to defend myself.
The only thing I had when I was young was my words, you know?
Like, I couldn't have, we didn't have the extra stuff, but words were mine.
You couldn't.
Words I had.
They came from me.
Right.
Like anybody could have something else.
You could have the new, the Reebok pumps, whatever.
You could have all the shit, but my words were mine, you know?
And so when it came to humor or words, then I said, oh, this is my weapon because nobody can control if I have this or not.
I wake up with my words every day.
So that's why I think I got into doing stand-up because, oh, I can do this.
Everybody has this, but if I master it, then it's like, I don't know.
It's me showing them.
I'm going to show them, you know, even if I didn't have some of the same things.
Look, I'm going to make the most of what I do have, you know, my words.
Right, right.
I just wish it, I just, I just wish it would just carry on.
I know, man.
It's crazy.
And it's almost sad to see it not carry on because you're like watching you.
Yeah.
But, but they, right.
Well, it's, yeah.
Yeah, so it's like, are you the bad influence?
It's weird.
It's weird.
Like, it's weird, man.
Like, do they see how hard I'm working for this shit?
Like, you know?
Yeah, I don't know.
It's funny.
It's interesting to see if they recognize.
Yeah, that's it.
You watch UFC or no?
Nah, nah.
But I'm finna start my own.
You gotta start watching.
I'm finna start my own backyard cross-the-track fights.
Get the fuck out of here.
Yeah, I'm just going through the lawyers right now.
Licking one, man.
We're just going through the lawyers right now, bro.
I got my logo together.
It's going through the lawyers right now.
Every place got across the track.
So we're going to be setting up our train tracks.
I just got the Steelgate.
I got the Steelgate.
Got all my paperwork together.
And I'm going to do five fifes in each city.
$1,250 apiece.
The winner get $250.
Start it out.
Start out that league.
Start it out.
And I'm finna, you know, it's going to be my another YouTube.
No, it'd be good.
Yeah.
But then it gonna be funny because I'm gonna be the fucking commentator.
Joe Rose.
The commentator.
Yeah.
So I'm gonna be going out.
This motherfucker here.
Yeah.
And how mine is, you gotta get dropped five times.
Damn, bro.
A TKO is five times.
The only way the fight can stop is five rounds.
The only way the fight keeps on going throughout the fifth round, if you haven't been knocked down five times, are you out cold?
That's the only way the fight stops.
But you know, some people are going to pretend they out cold to not get back up, though.
Well, your ass got it.
You got to drop five times or be out cold.
We're going to kill it, bro.
Cross the track street, bro.
I like it, man.
We'll fucking put white nick in the one, man.
I'm ready.
I'm ready, man.
You know you need $12.50.
$12.50.
That's nice to kick somebody ass.
Man, I go out there.
Now, what if you lose?
What do you get?
$50?
You get $250.
Oh, for losing?
Yeah, $1,500 bet.
Damn.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'd even lose for $250, man.
Yeah, man.
Get your ass whooped.
That's why I got to be five times.
Yeah, that's why we struck five times on your ass out cold.
We got to be out cold.
Dude, you got to let, I want to be a referee for some of the matches.
Man, that's hard, dog.
That's hard.
Then we sent it bar.
We got to connect with this shit.
I'm serious, man.
We got to connect.
Let you be a referee clowning and shit.
Or a comedian.
Are you out, motherfucker?
Come on, man.
You not out, man.
Get back up.
You not out.
Hell yeah, man.
I see you peeking.
Hell yeah.
What about boosty coffins?
That's the thing I always wanted to see, and I'm shocked you don't do that.
Coffins?
Yeah.
Like people going to heaven, you know, like a coffin, you know.
I never thought of that.
Because I feel like you kind of have, you represent a little bit of like this.
That's fucking spooky.
Kind of thuggish elegance though.
I don't want nothing with coffins.
Come on, man.
Speakers in the inside, bro.
Somebody just going straight to heaven, bro.
Hell no.
What are they going to do when they go under the ground?
They go full us out, huh?
No motherfucking thing under that ground.
That's a bad investment.
All right, that might be bad.
Last question.
I know fucking black people do some wild investments.
That's one of the wildest investments you ever got and somebody tried to get you into, man.
Something wild, bro.
A child.
Yeah, a girl, Instagram mother, she just was like, Boosie, you a good daddy.
Let's just have a baby and we not gonna have no, like, you can do whatever the fuck you want, but me and you will make a cute baby.
Like, no strings attached.
Like, I just want a baby with you.
I was like.
Did you get it?
No.
No.
Because then she'll come for money, probably.
I just, it was just too much.
Like, we never even talked.
Damn.
Like, I didn't comment on the Instagram.
Like, we had no...
Like, I want to have a child with you.
Like, I know you're going to take care of your baby.
I know you don't give a fuck about what women do.
I don't care.
I was like, no.
Damn.
Hell no.
Yeah, that's a bad investment.
Bad investment.
Yeah.
I said no.
I said no.
I don't know what else I got, man.
I really appreciate your time, man.
I've just always been a fan and I really admire your work ethic, man.
There's times when I don't want to do my work, man, and I see you fucking got the red eye.
You like, all right, you know, it's going down tonight, you know.
Boost it, badass.
We're going to be there.
You know, Covington, Kentucky, Scotland, South Carolina, wherever.
It just never ends, man.
I like to find the things, and if you hustle your, you can get them.
You can get them.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I rapped on the corner for years for free.
So when you tell me you got some money for me, it's hard for me to say no.
Yeah, I agree with these things.
I make a way.
I got to hear you out.
I'm going to just say that.
You know, like, I'm going to hear your ass out.
I'm going to just say that.
Dude, did anybody ever offer you money?
Because Glenn, Big Baby, told me somebody paid him one time to hook up with his wife, right?
Did you ever get any shit like that?
I feel like that stuff wouldn't come your way, though, really.
Nah, people didn't give me $4,000 for my hat.
Right.
I had a guy gave me like $3,500.
Boosh, give me your hat, man.
I got $3,500.
Yeah, there you go.
Straight to the mall the next day.
Got the same one.
It just had a little Boosha on it.
But, you know, they got a lot of fans.
You know, I've been off of my six.
You know, I've been off of my six.
I've been offering.
You've been offered it?
Yeah.
Girl offered me $7,000.
Damn.
One girl paid me $7,000 to have sex with me.
How long do you have to have sex for?
A certain amount of time or no?
Well, this girl, this was back in, this was before I went through prison.
She paid me like $7,500 to come back to her mansion.
Damn.
She had a big-ass mansion in Arkansas.
She paid me $7,500 to have sex with her and come to her mansion.
Was a man in there too or no?
Nah, nah.
She ain't had no man in there.
She paid me to come to her.
She was fucking with music too, so she had some money and she straight came to me out of her concert looking like I got $7,500 for you to get in there, huh?
Yeah.
And I took it.
I did it.
Damn.
I can't really fuck.
I can't fuck real, real good.
I can fuck okay, I feel like if it's like around the holidays or something, you know?
But like on a regular time, like maybe around Christmas, that's when I really feel like.
But you get in the Christmas spirit?
I get in the Christmas spirit, yeah, man.
I'll do some real fucking around Christmas, but other than that, that's not my main thing, you know?
I'm not really that hit, man.
I send somebody else in the fuck.
I'll come in at the end, you know?
Yeah.
That kind of cleanup hitter, you know.
Oh, yeah, you kind of freaking.
I mean, I just.
You need a cleanup hitter, huh?
I don't know, man.
I think that might be all I got, man.
Damn, I never thought I'd run out of things to talk to Bucci about.
Yeah, but uh.
But thank you so much for meeting.
100.
100, y'all be good.
I gotta go.
Give me some head.
Got a motherfucker in the car.
She mad at me right now.
I ain't even do shit.
She mad at me.
Damn, that's how it is.
Don't worry, I'm gonna put this dick all in her fucking ear tonight.
I'm gonna fuck her ass.
Why?
I'm gonna finger fuck her.
Hey, bruh.
Send me in at the end.
You know what I'm saying?
Look at him.
Look at him.
The E-Man.
The back E-Man.
On that hitter, bruh.
Now I'm just floating on the breeze.
And I feel I'm falling like these leaves.
I must be cornerstone.
Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this piece of my life found.
I can feel it in my bones.
But it's gonna take a little time for me to set that parking break and let myself unwind shine that light on me.
I'll sit and tell you my stories.
Shine on me.
And I will find a song I will sing it just for you.
And I've been moving way too fast on a runaway train with a heavy load of my hand.
Thank you.
