The NWA in the late 80s were famously known for popularizing the street life of Compton on rap songs, but Boosie Badazz believes the long reign of the genre is coming to its end.
He says “you’re gonna have to be a fake rapper” who doesn’t gangbang or else “they’re gonna stop you.” As the news surfaced that Atlanta prosecutors are lining up more RICO cases, rappers are making sure their lawyers are ready for action. Hip hop fans wait daily to hear the latest updates regarding YSL‘s massive case that resulted in over two dozen people being arrested and charged. These suspects have included Young Thug and Gunna, who remain incarcerated, and as they deny any and all allegations of the crimes stacked against them, the D.A.’s office confirmed that more indictments are on the horizon.
“They basically doing all this to separate gangbanging from Rap,” said Boosie. “They gon’ basically tell you, you can’t be a gangbanger and Rap… I’m not a gang banger, but I think it’s a bad thing for them. Gangbangers. Because what they’re preaching about, they’re not gonna let happen. The power that bring it, they’re not gonna let it stay. The impact you’re having on people, they’re not gonna it stay. You’re gonna have to be a fake rapper.”
“If they see you goin’ that way, they’re gonna stop you,” he added. “That’s why [they said], ‘We’re gonna get YSL.’ Who everybody lookin’ up to. And that’s the way they can do it with the gangbanging thing. That’s a tool they got right now, and it’s become successful, but I want all them boys free. I want all them boys at home. I just tell ’em, get close with God, man. Get close with God in the motherf*cka. You never know.”
