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.)

B.G. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This guy, he stood up high and had such might
I thought that he might shatter the ground
But instead a small crowd gathered 'round
We came from near and far away
From Donutstropolis to Paraguay
Just to hear what this man may say
What holy truth may come that day
A presence bigger than mega phones
But soon a silence descended upon us all
As the man stood upon the hill so tall
We started to think, "Man, this guy's kinda lame"
But he would then call out his name
I am Reverb
The man echoed, and conjured up a section of cellos
I am inevitable
He swiftly bellowed, and got rid of the section of cellos
A man in the crowd lost both his ears
And soon there was no more to hear
The man called Reverb had disappeared
I jolted awake, at first afraid
But I soon rose up from the shade
As I lifted off the bed,
A voice soon echoed in my head:
Only you may break the box,
It said,
Now go, recruit the man named Cage
And with that, I had my sacred mission
Listen to the reverberations
Find Nic Cage and tell the nation
It simply must be
We all must see
National Treasure 3
The lyrics to B.G.'s song "Skit" depict a dream or vision that the artist had in which he saw a man of great power and might who gathered a small crowd to hear what he had to say. Despite the man's presence and the anticipation of hearing something profound, the lyrics suggest that the crowd was disappointed with his underwhelming words. However, the man named Reverb conjures up a section of cellos and proclaims his name and his inevitability, causing one man in the crowd to lose his ears and leaving the rest in silence as Reverb disappears.
The dream takes a turn when the artist is suddenly jolted awake and hears a voice in his head telling him to break the box and recruit the man named Cage. The message is cryptic and leaves the listener wondering about its meaning and significance. The inclusion of Nic Cage and the desire for a National Treasure 3 movie adds a humorous and playful tone to the lyrics, contrasting with the serious and ominous nature of the dream.
The song represents the power and importance of dreams and visions in shaping our thoughts and actions, as well as the potential for humor and absurdity to coexist with serious themes.
Line by Line Meaning
I had a dream, no, a vision last night
I had an imaginary thought or creation while asleep, no, wait, it was more like a mental image
This guy, he stood up high and had such might
This individual person stood in a position of influence and showed great power
I thought that he might shatter the ground
I believed that he could easily break the earth beneath him
But instead a small crowd gathered 'round
However, only a limited number of people had assembled nearby
We came from near and far away
We arrived by traveling short and long distances
From Donutstropolis to Paraguay
From a fictional place called Donutstropolis to a country in South America known as Paraguay
Just to hear what this man may say
Simply to listen to the words of this man
What holy truth may come that day
Which sacred insight might be revealed to us that day
Louder than megaphones,
More intense than loudspeakers,
A presence bigger than mega phones
An impactful presence stronger than megaphones
But soon a silence descended upon us all
Shortly afterward, a calmness consumed all of us
As the man stood upon the hill so tall
As that individual stayed on top of the high peak
We started to think, "Man, this guy's kinda lame"
We began to ponder, 'Gee, this guy is rather dull'
But he would then call out his name
However, he then introduced himself
I am Reverb
My name is Reverb
The man echoed, and conjured up a section of cellos
The man sounded similar, and then brought into existence a bunch of stringed instruments
I am inevitable
I am unavoidable
He swiftly bellowed, and got rid of the section of cellos
He quickly shouted loudly, and made the stringed instruments disappear
A man in the crowd lost both his ears
Someone in the group of people suffered damage to both of their ears
And soon there was no more to hear
After that, there was nothing else to listen to
The man called Reverb had disappeared
The guy named Reverb had vanished
I jolted awake, at first afraid
I quickly sat up, initially feeling scared
But I soon rose up from the shade
Though shortly after, I stood up from beneath the shadowy area
As I lifted off the bed,
As I got out of the bed,
A voice soon echoed in my head:
I shortly heard something in my mind that mirrored an echo:
Only you may break the box,
You are the only one who can destroy the container
It said,
That voice declared
Now go, recruit the man named Cage
Now seek out and invite the guy called Cage
And with that, I had my sacred mission
That's all it took for me to have a holy purpose
Listen to the reverberations
Pay attention to the resulting echoes
Find Nic Cage and tell the nation
Discover Nic Cage and share the news with the entire country
It simply must be
It has to happen
We all must see
Every one of us must watch it
National Treasure 3
National Treasure 3 movie must be watched by all
