Didn’t you just tell us that South Baton Rouge was the hardest hood ever though? Of COURSE they’re going to hate – you made it and they’re still struggling. Throughout the track Boosie wants to know “why a pussy nigga hate on me” especially from the same hood as him. That’s probably why it took so long for me to hit the top” I hustle on the hill, where Walter got killed
“Walkin to school with a tool and a bag of weed Let’s see what Boosie himself has to say about it though: I’m sure South Baton Rouge is as bad as they come, but it’s no badder than every other area of America with high unemployment, soaring crime rates and no opportunities to achieve and succeed. Hard times make every hood hard everywhere you go.
Louis is just as bad as North Omaha is as bad as North Memphis is as bad as South Central is as bad as South Baton Rouge is as… do you see where I’m coming from? Whatever city, county, project or neighborhood a rapper comes from is automatically the worst one there’s ever been, because that’s all they know, but NEWSFLASH it’s bad everywhere in 2009. There’s no perspective to these statements whatsoever. Some drunk wino in the opener is immediately declaring South Baton Rouge “the baddest place in the whole world” and feels the need to repeat himself several times as if I didn’t already get the point. It’s 2009 though, so it’s time to give Lil Boosie another chance, but when “Lawd Have Mercy” comes up at random while scanning this album I’m immediately questioning that decision. He offers nothing but tired platitudes to being the “Bad Azz” that he is nicknamed, proclaiming how hard and how real he is to the point I’d happily accept it at face value if he’d shut up about it. Given all of those factors it’s quite perplexing that Boosie’s albums have been so boring. He’s also proven an ability to coin catchphrases, create chart-topping singles, and generally speaking when he makes a guest appearance on a track his 16 bars make it more interesting. The Baton Rouge native does have a few things going for him including a very distinctive high pitched flow and Louisiana drawl that stands out in the commercial rap scene. Despite what previous reviews may have indicated, I don’t hate Lil Boosie – I’m just totally underwhelmed by his releases.
