Early life
Christopher "Doogie" Dorsey was a normal kid growing up in the 13th Ward of New Orleans which is Uptown. In elementary school, young Dorsey rapped as a hobby. When Dorsey was 12, his father was murdered in a robbery, and young Dorsey drifted into street life. Dorsey began selling marijuana, cocaine, and eventually heroin — to which he later became addicted.
This time, local independent rap label Cash Money Records was looking for new talent, and Dorsey was recommended to the label by his barber, who also happened to cut the hair of the Cash Money CEO brothers Brian "Baby" Williams and Ronald "Slim" Williams. After an impromptu audition, Dorsey was signed to the budding label. His first effort was True Story, album as a part of The B.G.'z, group whom he formed with another preteen rapper, Baby D (who will later become Lil Wayne). Originally his moniker was "Doogie" or "Gangsta D", but since "True Story" was considered his solo CD, pseudonym B.G. stuck to him.
Music career
The second youngest artist signed to Cash Money Records, Dorsey, given the stage name "B.G." ("Baby Gangsta"), released his debut LP, True Story, in 1992 at the young age of 12. (Lil Wayne signed at 11) As the only Cash Money artist to survive several roster purges, B.G. was instrumental in helping carry Cash Money to regional fame. Multi-millionaire label head Brian Williams, who also became an artist for the label under the name "Baby", allowed B.G. to catapult to success.
His 1996 release Chopper City is considered a southern classic and sold 147,000 copies independently. He was only 15 years old when he recorded the album. The next year, he released the albums It's All on U, Vol. 1 and It's All on U, Vol. 2 when Cash Money signed a $30 million deal with Universal in 1997, B.G. went to work on his seminal Chopper City in the Ghetto LP. The album spawned the massive hit "Bling Bling", which, along with Juvenile's "Back That Azz Up", made Cash Money a nation wide success. "Bling Bling" also became a popular hip-hop slang term for any sort of expensive jewelry, automobiles, or other forms of opulence, which were featured heavily in Cash Money videos and on Cash Money album covers, as well as in B.G.'s life. He began wearing multiple Rolex watches and large necklaces while flashing his solid gold teeth in celebration of his success and extreme wealth.
B.G. remained with Cash Money for the rest of the 1990s, and was a member of the Hot Boys with Juvenile, Lil' Wayne, and Turk. He left the label in early 2001 after disputes with Brian "Baby" Williams over personal issues (B.G. recently claimed that Williams used his heroin addiction to control him and cheat him out of royalties, for which he is now suing), and later signed an independent deal for his Chopper City Records label with Koch Records. In 2001, he attended a drug treatment program in Minnesota for his heroin addiction. In 2003, the Hot Boys came off a 4-year hiatus and released Let 'Em Burn. Later in 2003, B.G. left Cash Money again, this time on bad terms with his boss Baby and longtime friend Lil' Wayne. He went on to release his first offering on the Koch label entitled Living Legend, which was sold as a 2-disc set. In 2004, he released Life After Cash Money. In 2005, he released The Heart of Tha Streetz Vol. 1. He also helped record "Y'all Heard of Me" with C-Murder.
B.G. currently lives in Detroit, Michigan, running his Chopper City Records label as the C.E.O. He's a veteran in the hip-hop industry at only the age of 25 and he says he's not going to stop rapping anytime soon. He recently released his latest LP, The Heart Of Tha Streetz, Vol. 2, and his new single "Move Around" featuring Mannie Fresh. It marks the first time B.G. has worked with Mannie Fresh since they were labelmates at Cash Money Records years ago, and may well mean a boost to B.G.'s career commercially.
B.G. is one of four superstar members who left Cash Money after 2003 along with Juvenile, Mannie Fresh, and Turk. Although they have all gone their separate ways, all four remain good friends and still keep in touch. There are rumors of a Hot Boyz reunion in the future, minus Lil' Wayne and Baby. Juveniles top song, "Whats happenin'" has a Mannie Fresh remix which includes Juvenile, B.G., and Mannie. This may be the closest to a "Hot Boys" reunion.
B.G. has recently inked a deal with Atlantic Records and T.I. has been appointed executive producer of B.G.'s new album which is scheduled for a fall release. After spending time there on and off, B.G. permanently relocated to Detroit in 2005 as a result of Hurricane Katrina.
In 2006, Trina release a mixtape diss in which she humiliated B.G. along with Gillie da Kid and southern rapping rival Khia. The mixtape was recorded in response to a statement made by B.G. where he claimed Trina had a sexual relationship with both Baby and Lil' Wayne, whom are both rappers. Trina is currently involved with Lil' Wayne. Trina referred to B.G. as a "Cash Money reject" and a "street n*g*a beefin' with a chick." B.G. responded (along with VL Mike) with a mixtape track "Just A Warning 'Till My Album Drop" (set to the beat of DJ Drama's "Cannon Remix", which Lil' Wayne collaborated on.)

내가 널 힘들게 했니
받는 사랑만 익숙해져 난
나 밖에 몰랐던 것 같아
니 맘 아는데 나도 아는데
니 사랑 잘 아는데
내 맘은 아닌가봐
마음이 시키는 일
그래서 더 아픈 일
널 사랑하지만
너와 헤어져야하는 일
나를 사랑해줘서 고맙고 또 미안해
내가 부족해 너를 떠나는 나를 용서해줘
라라 라릴라릴 라라
라릴라릴 라라 라릴라릴라아
가끔은 가슴 아프겠지 후회도하고
그래도 내색은 안하겠지
눈물이 나도
마음껏 욕해 차라리
그게 더 편할 것 같애
구차한 변명 안 할게
나도 안 돼 이것밖엔
니 맘 아는데 나도 아는데
니 사랑 잘 아는데
내 맘은 아닌가봐
마음이 시키는 일
그래서 더 아픈 일
널 사랑하지만
너와 헤어져야하는 일
나를 사랑해줘서 고맙고 또 미안해
내가 부족해 너를 떠나는
나를 용서해줘
수많은 사랑 노래들이
슬픈 이별이 될 때는
널 생각하며 듣겠지
내 가슴속으로 고백해
기억하고 있을걸
우리 둘의 이야기를 되돌아볼 땐
너와 난 어디에 있을까
이미 서로를 잊은 채
다른 사랑을 할까
내 맘을 탓하고 있을까
마음이 시키는 대로
그대로 해도 과연 괜찮을까
마음이 시키는 일
그래서 더 아픈 일
널 사랑하지만
너와 헤어져야하는 일
나를 사랑해줘서
고맙고 또 미안해
내가 부족해 너를 떠나는 나를 용서해줘
라라 라릴라릴 라라
라릴라릴 라라
라릴라릴라아 woo

Line by Line Meaning
Moving forward cause we know
There's no going back
We must keep moving ahead because we cannot return to the past
Line of sight is kind of hazy
Am I crazy?
I am unsure if what I am seeing is real or if my perceptions are distorted
Should I call or break my phone in half?
(Phone in half, phone in half, phone in half)
I am struggling to decide whether to reach out to someone or cut them out of my life completely
Typed a message never sent it
Tried to focus on the things I have
(Things I have, things I have)
I drafted a message but ultimately chose not to send it, instead attempting to appreciate what I do have in my life
But my head is heavy hands are steady
I've already lost the things I never had
(Never had, never had)
I feel a sense of sadness and nostalgia for things that were never mine to begin with
Oh, all I wanted in the moment
Was for something to change
Things that are different can't be freeing but
All I needed was to see it
Yet it still caused me pain
Even the wrongs in life need grieving
I desired change and though I thought it would bring freedom, it instead brought pain. Even negative experiences require grieving and processing
Will I lose, will I lose my mind tonight
(Tonight)
Night
Will I lose, will I lose my mind tonight
Night
I am concerned that I may lose control over my thoughts and emotions tonight
I'm sorry you were down and I wasn't around
My head up in the clouds can't figure it out
Give and take otherwise that's heartbreak
Huh, in a way choosing you was a mistake, wait
I am apologizing for being absent during a difficult time and feeling confused about what to do. Relationships require compromise or else they lead to heartbreak and in hindsight, choosing this person may have been a mistake
She cried herself a river then she float my way
Save her money with a laser cause she broke my veins
Fifteen minutes all it take for her to break my heart
You hear some whispers in the distance and we falling apart
So how do we start again
This person experienced emotional pain and then turned to me for comfort. She saved me money by injecting me with drugs but it ultimately led to heartbreak. We hear rumors and it's causing our relationship to crumble, so we are trying to figure out how to salvage it
I still hear your voice and I can't try to run
I'm losing my mind, but baby I'm fine
I wish we could rewind, but I fall back in line
I don't want to cut ties, but now I'm getting high
And it's a long way down
I cannot escape the memories of this person and though I am losing control, I am trying to maintain a sense of stability. I wish I could turn back time but instead, I am falling in line and getting high to cope with the pain
Throwing on stones it won't bruise
Baby got nothing to lose
Downslided by the tubes
Don't make me have to choose
I ain't gotta show refuse
But that shit go off when I want it to
But when the lights go down I still see you
Every time I try to reach I still see through
I can't lie to myself I still need you
Why you want to hide in the dark
You don't know where it leads to
Can't cover up the scars if they always bleed through
I am trying to protect myself but it won't work because this person has nothing left to lose. I am feeling overwhelmed and do not want to make any more difficult decisions. Though I may act like I am uninterested, my feelings for them are still present. They are hiding from me but it will only lead to more pain. The scars of our relationship will always remain and cannot be hidden or ignored
When I'm alone the cold, it feels so right
Will I lose my mind tonight, tonight
Being alone feels comforting in a way, but I am still concerned about losing control over my thoughts and emotions tonight
