“When you talk about the streets, you gotta mention me…”

Every now and then, I’ll perform a random Lil Boosie search on Google to see if any updates on his case have arisen and like clockwork there never are any. In such case, random mp3′s serve as the only gateway into Boosie’s world. Read the rest of this entry »

How the universe manages to align its stars is some extraordinary sh*t at times. A few weeks ago I found myself driving back from Bowie, Maryland, playing an old Boosie CD I made awhile back when the song “Green Light Special” came on (yep, my car is a huge inspiration for what I write here). It had long been one of my personal favorites from dude mainly because I considered it a “jack of all trades” sort of track. Read the rest of this entry »

187, 187, 211 drive by/ Six dead, but only three went to heaven…

This is the type of record the law will use in their case against Lil Boosie. “187″ showcases Jayceon Taylor riding along shotgun for this track dedicated to pistol play and body bags. It’s always weird to hear numbers of this ilk from Bad Azz considering his situation. For us, we gain enjoyment. It’s a lot different, however, when you’re running through cigs like they’re going out of style behind prison walls because the state of Louisiana believes that is who you really are.

For “Betrayed,” pitfalls and perils push Bad Azz and Webbie to find that undeniable chemistry on wax, the sh*t that seemed lost for so long and could never be replicated with the assortment of Trill weed carriers who’ve attempted to try. Read the rest of this entry »

The days remain long, the nights remain cold and the future remains a mystery for Lil Boosie. To my knowledge, no new updates have arisen in regards to his current situation. For as many people who yell “Free Boosie,” the call may be unfortunately falling on deaf ears to those who have have to the power to do so. However, his spirit lives beyond the prison walls and the love for Bad Azz hasn’t diminished in the slightest. Read the rest of this entry »

Click Track:

“T.I. reported to a federal prison in Arkansas on Monday. Gucci Mane was arrested on a litany of traffic charges on Tuesday. Lil Wayne is expected to be released from Rikers on Thursday. So on Wednesday, all four rappers were behind bars. And while their careers appear to be headed in very different directions, they all illustrate how prison time can only harm a rap career. Tours derail. Endorsements vanish. Momentum slows. Infractions that used to help build a rapper’s mystique now only jeopardize a brand. Read the rest of this entry »

There’s always been a love/hate relationship with videos like this for me. Think back to the first time you saw Pac’s “Hail Mary” visual. It was dope because his spirit was still being allowed to haunt Hip-Hop. But it was also depressing because you couldn’t see the physical help paint what the lyrics were portraying. Same thing Boosie’s “Better Not Fight.” Read the rest of this entry »

A quality hood movie is hard to come by. Not the Menance II Society’s, Boyz In Da Hood’s, Juice’s, Paid In Full’s of the world, nah. I’m talking more along the lines of Baller Blockin’ and Killa Season. Trill Entertainment tries their hand at a hood classic on October 26 with the release of Ghetto Stories.

Spade for spade, I’m the realest n!gga out…

So we’ve come to the end of the road. The previous 72 hours – or eight episodes in this case – have shown the final moments of freedom of a man dealing with literally the weight of the world on his shoulders. First off, a congratulations is in order to Motion Family. This was about as in-depth as cameras were going to get given the circumstances. Read the rest of this entry »

Officially two-thirds of the way through, Bad Azz continues to bathe in the love of his family – both blood and experience bonded. Time is a rarity in these clips. Because of this, each person attempts to keep a smile on their face and sleep to a minimum with the impending pull of the law marching closer and closer. Read the rest of this entry »

Picking up where the last two installments left off, Boosie’s date with fate marches closer and closer. Maybe because I’ve written on the series thus far, but a different perspective of Lil Boosie has been afforded to me. In a similar vein as I stated before, I have not a clue as to whether buddy is guilty of the newer allegations. If they are, Read the rest of this entry »

Just watching these clips remind of Mase’s classic “24 Hours To Live.” Even with full time jobs, school and other duties, it’s sometime hard to fathom how many tasks can truly be accomplished in a set amount of time. With most cases in life, tomorrow always presents another opportunity to complete whatever the previous day didn’t allow.

At this point, only 72 hours separate Boosie from not being afforded that luxury. Read the rest of this entry »

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. – Martin Luther King

This is probably one of the few times Lil Boosie will ever be mentioned alongside MLK , but the quote sums up the turbulent and emotional life of Torrence Hatch. The story is public record. What started as a two-year term doubled to four and accusations of murder for hire has one of the most beloved Southern artists of all-time eye-to-eye with the death penalty.
