Today's episode is brought to you by Gray Block Pizza.
It's a premiere, a pizzeria.
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 stories
Shine that light on me
I'll sit and tell you my stories
Goosie, thanks for coming in, man.
How long you in L.A. for?
A couple days.
I got to get back for my daughter's birthday, but I'm coming right back.
Yeah?
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 meet 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 smarting.
It's smarting.
I always was a hustler, hustler, like a dog hustler, run myself to death, you
know.
I was 22 with, you know, living in cars, mansion, things like that.
So prison made me smarter, you know.
It made me smarter as far as music.
Right.
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, 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.
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 Rouge, as far as rap, we're a hub.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When you were in prison, do 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?
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 one, and it was beautiful seeing all those
women.
You know, it would be a beautiful sight.
You mean all the ladies that come to watch the rodeo?
Yeah, the ladies that come to watch the rodeo, you know.
Yeah, they got some thick ladies out there.
Thick ladies.
The rodeo women be thick.
Tight pants with that buckle in the front.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Make you on the ride, Huss.
Yeah.
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 things, 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?
Mm-mm.
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.
Yeah.
They might free him.
The evidence, they've been finding, 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 is my friends in there, bro, that I wish he'd come
home.
That's what I miss the most.
I don't, you know, I miss my friends.
Yeah.
That's what I miss, man, you know.
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 times, 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 a cell they whole time in jail.
Is that what you had?
No, I don't do that.
Oh, wow, you was in with everybody?
Yeah.
You've always kind of been a man of the people, no matter where you were.
Yeah, yeah, like you can't, you know, it'll drive you crazy in that cell.
Yeah.
You know, a lot of people just be afraid, but, you know, if you're a rapper and
you can,
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.
Right.
So if you can survive in jail, you can survive in penitentiary.
And, you know, I had a suite in penitentiary, man.
Really?
Yeah.
I had, my last, my last couple years, my first three, 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.
Damn.
The day I beat my murder charge, I was let off death row, and I had to charge
whether
to go to protective custody or to a population where 150 people in the dorm.
And you went in there?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Was it fun, kind of, once you got in there, or was it a relief from being by
yourself?
Yeah, yeah.
It was, it was, it was sweet, man, you know, contact visits.
Like, general, could you have women come visit?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, man.
Damn, I didn't know that.
And then the first time I went to visit, everybody went crazy in the child hall,
so.
I got it.
The warden, Burrell Kane, you know, he looked out for me, him and Bernard.
They gave me my own visiting shed, 70-inch flat screen.
Damn.
My own movies, my own chef, my own picture camera.
Damn, damn.
Man, you know, so visits 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, 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.
Yeah.
And I remember I put a tweet on Twitter, and it said, Easter's come early, he
has risen.
That's what I put.
Yeah.
And how do you feel like social media, I feel 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.
Yeah.
Just doing what Boosie do, saying what Boosie say.
Act in 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, if you don't, 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 the music.
If you just, hey, if you, 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 as Boosie badass.
Woo-da-woo-da-woo.
Yeah, he a killer, he a murderer.
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, give people a different edge to you.
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?
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.
Yeah.
From all the gangsters, the biggest gangsters.
Al Capone.
Al Capone.
Every gangster had a personality.
It just came out around the people he loved.
Yeah.
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 go, nigga, don't smile with niggas.
You know, that's the nigga, that shows the form of somebody might want to try
you.
Right.
You know, it's not that I'm practice looking hard.
Right.
No, it's just a habit.
Yeah.
It's how you go to heart.
You know, when I, you know, it's no fear.
Yeah.
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 no
