The career paths of Boosie and Webbie would be extremely different had Chad Butler never passed away. I’m convinced of this. Listen to any interview from years past with the two and pay attention how highly they speak of their late mentor. The respect went far beyond music, rather someone they genuinely trusted with their careers (a rarity if there ever was one in the music industry). Read the rest of this entry »

I’ll take two of whatever Webbie’s on right now because it has him on a roll that even Charlie Sheen has to envy. “Finna F*ck You” is Trill Young Savage musically expanding on (perhaps) those random thoughts that spawned “I got a big dick” and “Get ya hoe, mayne,” only because he’s naturally more comfortable and capable to do so in booth, as compared to, say, a random Walmart. Whatever the case may be, Savage Life 3 should be full on devilishness. Read the rest of this entry »

Depending on financial security, most people never wear the same suit twice. When you’re Webbie and in the middle of one of the greatest album promotion runs in recent memory, you never wear the same boxers more than once. Hence the reason for his Wal-Mart run which Julia Beverly of Ozone Magazine was there to film the entire experience. Trust me when I say this: it is in your best interest to click play.

Just know Gotty™, Maurice Garland and myself have been reading and watching every Webbie interview over the past month or so. We’ve laughed, shook our heads and been left completely and utterly confused on each, but we still appreciate Young Savage’s music all the same. Read the rest of this entry »

At this point, Webbie’s antics are overshadowing his music. That’s never a good thing, but staying relevant is the goal regardless of how it’s achieved. Some random camera catches Webbie and decides ask him about his 106 & Park excommunication. And what happens next was worth clicking play. Well, at least the parts you could understand.

When you live the savage life, you take your uncouth habits with you every step of the way. Webbie gives not a f*ck in the world about media etiquette or anything of the sort but he just suffered a case from “when keeping it real goes wrong” in his latest run-ins with BET.

Watch enough of A&E’s Beyond Scared Straight and you’ll see all kinds of misguided kids. Not too long ago, a 15-year-old named Alex appeared on episode and proclaimed he wanted to be like Boosie, his favorite rapper. Read the rest of this entry »

Webbie, don’t you for one second think I’ve forgotten about that Ghetto Stories tape you try to sneak across my computer monitor. That .zip file of audio embarrassment never even made it past the LiveMixtapes stream. Still, after seeing you shot a video for “What’s Happenin’,” a track I rock with, I had to click play.

Twitter attempted to put Boosie on death row Monday night for one reason or another. Given the lack of coverage Tuesday morning, it’s safe to say that rumor held no weight. However, it made the release of Webbie’s new mixtape Savage Stories peculiar and somewhat well-timed. Read the rest of this entry »

Boosie has been on mini press run as of late. The recent Twitpic of Bad Azz with his prison jewels caused a mini-stir and his latest interview with XXL shed light on a handful of topics. One of those being how the feds are apparently stealing his music. Read the rest of this entry »

From last week:

Baton Rouge, Louisiana rapper Webbie was arrested Monday night (April 4) in Tennessee just south of Nashville in Marshall County after highway patrol officers pulled over his rented 2010 Nissan Altima following a show in Kentucky the night before, discovering two ounces of marijuana and $13,240 in a cardboard box in his lap.

Y’all n*ggas suckas, free my motherf*ckin’ brother…

Two Trill Family updates in the span of mere hours? Yes, please, and keep them coming bartender. Boosie’s partner-in-rhyme, Webbie, let loose of this track over the weekend campaigning for the release of his incarcerated comrade. We all know I’m a Webbie fan, but I cannot seem to enjoy the song as much as I would like. It ultimately boils down to the fact the instrumental seems to drown buddy out at times. Or maybe it was the mixing. There were moments when attempting to hear what Young Savage was saying difficult as hell, and it had nothing to do with that thick ass accent of his. I could be nitpicking, but I’m pretty sure I’m not.

Despite everything, hopefully Savage Life 3 will find a release date sometime this year. Now if only the same could be said for Torrance Hatch.

Webbie – “Free My Brother”

Respect: DGB

According Hip-Hop’s unwritten rules, falling in love with a woman is a direct violation of everything the genre believes in. Drizzy Drake not withstanding, obviously. A song boasting a line up featuring Rocko, Gucci Mane and Webbie eliminates world politics being the topic of discussion from break. The trio combine their efforts over a Zaytoven instrumental with the end result being the ultra-sensitive “I Don’t Love Her.” Read the rest of this entry »

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 »
