Boosie Badazz is known for being a beloved troublemaker. Long before the incarceration of Gucci Mane, people were yelling out "Free Boosie." Entering the pen in 2009, the Baton Rouge bad boy served five years in prison, and was released in March of last year. In October 2014, he dropped his comeback mixtape Life After Deathrow to wide acclaim. Now, with all eyes on him, Boosie has released Touch Down 2 Cause Hell, his sixth studio album. 19 tracks long, the album is stacked with boastful punchlines and lifelike storytelling detailing his wildest days behind bars. Not every single record on the album screams "badazz," Boosie is sure to offer variety in the lengthy tracklist. However, honing in on his most street-oriented records, we picked out 10 of the most badazz lyrics from Boosie B.
Song: On Deck (feat. Young Thug)
“Got them things on deck, nigga that's a bet/ If I say you getting wet, you can cash that check/ Make a nigga Chiraq your whole set, I ain't lost a street war yet.”
Boosie is battle-tested and war ready. Though he's from Louisiana, he'll wet up anyone that tries him; Chicago style.
Song: Mr. Miyagi
“Every, every, every ghetto, they look up to me/Every bad bitch in stilettos, they wanna fuck with me/If Lousiana was Atlanta, then I'm fuckin’ Meech.”
Boosie is a legendary figure, both in the projects and to the females. In his home state, he compares himself to Big Meech, leader of the infamous Black Mafia Family drug organization.
Song: Retaliation
“I get dumb with the gat like London On Da Track, it's always gangsta/Seek and you shall find and it's a scary picture that I paint ya, nigga.”
With the gat, Boosie is an artist; he'll paint you up nice.
Song: All I Know (feat. PJ)
“Drag my name through the mud/Guess what? I'm bout to kill these streets/Going places you will never see/ Someone you will never be.”
Doubters? Boy were they wrong. That was just negative energy for him to feed off.
Song: On Deck (feat. Young Thug)
“Scuff a nigga, eye for an eye like them Russians nigga/In my hood they ain't talking 'bout nothing nigga, but who can kill the most for the summer nigga.”
In Boosie's hood of Southside Baton Rouge, murder is the conversation.
Song: Retaliation
“I'll duct tape you homie, write your name on this list/Pussy bitch, and this pencil ain't got no eraser on it.”
Once your name is on Boosie's hit-list, there's no coming off it.
Song: Drop Top Music (feat. Rick Ross)
“Going to the hotspot cause I love to show my ass/Rolex watch, four bricks and a half/Haters looking down, I just look at them and laugh/Champagne, bubble bath, shopping spree for my gal.”
Touch Down 2 Cause Hell is jam-packed with pompous lines, this being one of them. Every time he goes out, you know he has to show out.
Song: Mr. Miyagi
“This that real deal shit from a real motherfucker/My stomping ground make me an ill motherfucker/Somebody say you might not like my music cause you might get burned from it/Mr. Miyagi with this shit though, you learn from it.”
Though not everyone has gone through Boosie's same struggles, he makes music to relate to. In a 2013 interview with SPIN, he described his music as not hip-hop, but reality rap. "Hip-hop music can make you dance and bob your head, but it can’t make you cry or touch your heart like reality rap," he said.
Song: Hip Hop Hooray (feat. Webbie)
“Nigga you ain't ever shot shit, bitch/You don't know the first steps on how to whip a brick.”
An experienced trapper, Boosie questions those who have never pulled a trigger or worked the stove.
Song: Retaliation
“Like sharks we searching for blood/Like Jaws I'm king of the sea/We kill, we kill em with gloves/Boy I’m ‘bout to eat this beat.”
If the rap game was an ocean, Boosie would be Jaws. Bodies, nor beats, are safe in his vicinity.
