We ain't seen you in about, what, like a year? About a year. Yeah, about a year. About a year. Now, I said when I see Boosie, I'm going to ask him, why wasn't Life After Death row an album? I done been all through the Atlantic building asking the same question. Why wasn't it an album? I don't know,

man. It's just sometimes people don't agree on things. You know how it go if you're dealing with the music industry. Yeah, I heard they was trying to get you to do a single. They want you to do a radio record. Man, you know how they try to do it. I'm the type of stand up

and go against the rules, really. But we came to a conclusion, and we're getting the outmouth, so that's what it's about, you know? Well, you gave us Retaliation. You gave the Breakfast Club, we premiered it. Right. Talk to us about Retaliation, that record. Retaliation was a record where me and London in the studio, and everybody on London tracks was like... Bouncing. in the studio and everybody on London tracks was like bouncing so I just

really wanted to see if I could bring a dark side to London music you know I like I was like man I'm going gangsta on any record I go with you you know because I hear that in his music also so that was basically me saying I want a hard record in a studio in London and he putting it together. I was gonna say when you first... I was going to say, when you first got home, everybody was trying to get these Boosie collaborations. Obviously, you did a lot of work,

but you said there was a delay with your album getting done because it was kind of hard for you to get certain... Right, right, right. It's like, you know, when you get beats from certain dudes, when it's time to do the paperwork, you know, people trying to not be solid is what their words are. All hard to get in touch with. You know,

it's a lot of things. That's why a lot of rappers do in-house producing, man. You know, you get your album out quicker. You ain't gotta, you know. But there's some songs you couldn't put on there as a result of that? Yeah. But it didn't hurt. I don't feel like it hurted the album at all. It was just, it's just paperwork,'t hurt. I don't feel like it hurted the album at all.

It was just paperwork, you know. I'm used to telling people, you do this and it happens. Right. You know. And with me being so much in charge of my situation right now, you know, I was blind to how people play games. You know, as far as, you far as paperwork and things like that. You thought they was your homies.

You thought you could get them on the phone. You said you was going to do the song. That was a swap. I thought that was a swap. Paperwork come like, oh lord. We was getting loaded. It was a swap. You said you had over

A thousand songs in jail How much of that did you keep Because you You know you write on the inside It's different than when You get outside Right right right I just

I kept all my music You know It might come It might come to a point Where that That might go in a book You know longevity But I never throw nothing

Away that I wrote Did you record all of them The ones you wrote No I haven't recorded all of them, the ones you wrote? No, I haven't recorded all of them. I've basically been, I've basically been just recording a lot of music,

man. I just released a mixtape with me and my label like a week or two ago and I'm just, I'm finna go get this label deal after this deal. How does it feel,

how does it feel like, you know, when I talk to some of the younger, especially East Coast artists, Bobby Shmurda, they say that Boosie is their inspiration how does it feel how does it feel like you know when I talk to some of the younger especially east coast artists Bobby Schmurda they say that Boosie is their inspiration and Boosie

is what they grew up on because you know for a long time like Charlamagne always says it was hard for the south to come down here like the south

wasn't really respected on the east well Boosie is like I got those I got those dudes come up in the trenches like those dudes who really come up in the trenches for so long,

I was hitting them, touching them people who a lot of people don't get to hear from. So I was touching those people who was really going through what I was going through. So that's why, you know, you'll never see a Boosie show out in Baltimore, places like that, and that's up this way. But it was a boosted show showed out not in baltimore places like that and that's up this way but it was in them trenches where they was getting this music right and and that stuck and that stuck with a lot of people and and that and that and that made people believe in me you know now let's talk about some of the people you touched man one of the most powerful images i remember from the whole ferguson situation was uh that group of kids i don't even know if it

was kids just a group of people singing F the police to a bunch of law enforcement. How did that make you feel? I made it feel like people finally listen to what I'm saying. I've been talking about police shooting people down. I've been talking about police breaking rules. That song was released in 07. People have been dying that way.

You know, it's just people got phones now. We got technology where we catching all this stuff now. So it's crazy, but it's nothing new that been going on. People been getting killed in my neighborhood. Do you feel like, as a man with a voice, because you've always talked about social issues in your music. Did it make you want to do more of that? Because you realized the influence you had on people? Yeah, as soon as I did that, I went and made a song.

I went and made a couple songs. And by me making those songs, sometimes it backlashes on me. I went to one concert. It was like, don't sing. The police like, don't sing that damn song. The police told you that? The police told you that? Yeah, the police like, don't sing.

He was like, no, bro. I was like, you know, no, I'm on parole. I won't sing it tonight, you know. But lately when I introduce it, I let them know it's not for all the police, man. It's just for the police who violate, man, and really getting away with violating. So that's what it's basically on. I didn't feel really no way about it except I was just being heard again. Do you think that song caused a lot of your legal issues, though?

Yeah, I think, yeah. Yeah, hell yeah. That was stupid. If I was in that position right now, I wouldn't have made that song. At the point, I was just mad about harassment, being harassed by police. You know, they was rolling me out, like, really putting it to me. And I went on there and just said, F the police. F everybody.

F the, F. You know, and that turned them up, man. You also moved to Atlanta. Did you feel like you had to leave Baton Rouge? Well, when I came home, the first time I came home, when I came home, I was switching my papers in, my parole in. I wasn't going to live in Louisiana. I live in Atlanta.

You know, everybody drive Rolls Royces like they respect superstars you know I'm not a target out there like Louisiana you know

don't nobody have no hatred towards me you know like it's where I need to be you know like most of the time you gonna fall

in your own city that's how I feel you still go home though right oh yeah I go home like I go home though, right? Oh yeah, I go home. I go visit, go check up down there with my grandmother or something, but I don't really be down there at all.

I be traveling on the road. Last time you came up here, you were talking about that you weren't really learning how to use the phones and the Instagram. Oh, I'm a pro now. He's a pro.

It didn't take long. Yeah, I'm a pro. You ain't getting no off social media yet. Oh man I'm a pro now. It's a pro. It didn't take long. Yeah, I'm a pro. You ain't getting no off social media yet, though. Oh, man. Yes, he has. I love Instagram, man. Oh, man.

You made any babies since you came home? No, I ain't made no babies since I've been home, but I'm going to get my sperm froze because I think I want some twins now. I just got to find the right girl and make my twins.

Why do you have to freeze your sperm for that? Man, you need to make that part of your album campaign, man. No, because you have, like, when you look at the thing and you jack off or whatever and they have your sperm, they got to have your sperm to separate it to put it in her ovaries to make the twins. Oh, they can just make twins like that? Yeah, you can make the eye color. I didn't know you could do all that.

Oh, yeah, you can make the eye color. Why do you want twins so bad? Because I don't have twins. I have seven kids and no twins. Nine? You might as well go for triplets and make it an even ten. Why stop at nine? Boosie is crazy.

Boosie. You said you have five mothers with five different personalities. Right. At one point, I feel like you were going to do a show or something. No, they were going to do a show. Oh, without you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what happened with that?

I was in prison. I don't know. I was in prison. I just seen people sending me all kinds of stuff about your baby mama's got to be out of this show. So, you know, I wasn't knocking it, but I wasn't going to be on this show, like, supporting it like that. But, you know, anybody trying to get their money, go for it. So when you came home, you was like, look, I'm getting this show money. Now, it ain't going to be no reality TV.

Nah, I ain't stepping in their business. I ain't stepping in their business at all. You know, people reached out to me, like, would I be in this show? I was like, no, but I'm not filing no papers on it or nothing like that. Do you? Everybody gets along now, though? Yeah, everybody gets along. Okay, good job.

Now, you were on Young Thug's mixtape, Bar to Six. Yeah. Did you know the name of the mixtape before you did it, or would you have done it, or it didn't matter? Nah, I don't get in people's mix. You know, if it's a nice business move for me you know i'm gonna get on it especially if i ain't tied too close to one like if you ain't my you know look out for me in my mama situation or something like that i don't involve it i just

rap business to me you know it wouldn't matter what wouldn't have mattered what it is, you know. If I like the song, I'm going to get on the record. Now, you are a voice of the people. How hard is it having money but trying to relate to people who don't? I don't really think it's hard having money. I just feel like most stuff come with it, but it's way harder broke. It's way in the head. I know how it feels, man. It's way in the head harder broke.

Money can make you smile when even things make you pissed off. That's what we call splurging. That's what we call taking care of ourselves and enjoying ourselves. Somebody piss me off, I'm'll go put a rock in my ear or take my daughter on a $20,000 shopping spree. You can't do that for your daughter, chump. You know, I'm going to put this on IG and let you look at this.

That'll make him sick. Yeah. But that's what I'm saying. Like, they look at you to speak for the streets. So when they see you with so much bread, they be like, ah, man, he ain't speaking for us no more. Nah, I really feel like, you know, I always been a flashy dude. I always been even, I just been a flashy ass my whole life.

And it's inspirational for people. And that's how I feel like. I feel like if people see this ghetto kid with all this on, man, I could do that. Word. You know, and now they dreaming bigger than what society wants them to dream. You know what I'm saying? You looking at me, you like, God damn, if he made it, I know I can make it. You know.

You heard what he rapped about? Damn. I saw that yesterday. I could make it. I don't look at it like it's something they can't have. I look at it as something, you know, they can one day be. Now, did Webby invite you to his baptism? No, I didn't invite you.

How you ain't go to that man's baptism now, fool? Why didn't you go? Man, I ain't know, man. They call me. I got a group text. A group text? I got a group text. Webby done gave himself to the Lord.

It is the best time of your life ever. It's like an in-between. It got dark music on there when I was going through my dark times.

It got music on there that talk about how I'm living now, but it's not really on the ballin' tip. Gotcha. It's mostly on the real life tip. Most of the songs are just reality. And it's just hard, man. You know, like that hard music. It's that hard music that ain't been around so long.

Just that, not even the trap music. It's just that hard music that make you sit down and listen to all the words. You know, bigger than just a song that got you doing this. Got you. It got you listening to a vision of what I was going through or what somebody who's listening to these words is going through. Do you keep in contact with people you were locked up with? Yeah, I keep in contact with, like, three or four dudes,

like real soldiers who was on my team. I keep in touch with them, look out for them, you know, send them packages whenever they need it. That's what I'm here for, you know send them packages whenever they need it you know like i'm that's what i'm here for you know to take care of dudes like that keep their hope alive or coming home now i read a line in double excel you said your grandma said with a lot of money comes a long line yeah like a lot of times you can't give people money so what do you get him when you don't when you be like you don't need no more money. Most of the time, if it's family, you know, I don't really tell family no or nothing unless it's just outrage.

You know, sometimes family might come at you and even lie about what they need the money. Just say you need some money. All right. You know, so basically with family, you know, it ain't much I'm eating. You know what I'm eating, you know what I'm saying? But,

don't you, ain't just me, the outside's gonna come at me wrong asking me for no money, no way. Right. So, that's like out the picture. But as far as family,

in a position you in. Absolutely. Now, when I was up at Atlantic, man, and they were saying that, yeah, we love the mixtape, but we wanted Boosie to have a single. What kind of records are they trying to get you to make? I don't know. I just don't make records like that. I like them.

The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap because another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history.

Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it.
