Boosie Badazz, formerly Lil Boosie, was born Torrence Hatch in Baton Rouge,… Read Full Bio ↴Boosie Badazz, formerly Lil Boosie, was born Torrence Hatch in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on November 14, 1983, he was bestowed the nickname Boosie by his family and was raised on W. Garfield St. in a ghetto in the mean streets of south side of Baton Rouge.

Growing up, Boosie was hardened by the many difficult experiences he was put through. His neighborhood, notorious for drugs and violence, was a place feared by the general population. To outsiders, it was a jungle, to residents, it was life. Boosie got very involved in basketball to stay off the streets, and was actually expected to move on to college level basketball.

At 14 years old, Boosie moved in to live with his grandmother after his father was murdered over drugs. Growing up with no father figure and without a strong guiding hand, Boosie turned to drugs and crime. After being expelled from school, Boosie picked up freestyling and began to get serious about his music. Living in the 225, Boosie had no contacts, no real means of exposure. Lil Boosie teamed up with Baton Rouge rapper C-Loc in the late 1990s and made his debut on C-Loc's 5th album, "It's a Gamble", which also featured Three Six Mafia, South Park Mexican, and the rest of the Concentration Camp. This album was a saving grace for C-Loc, as he was slowly losing popularity. Releasing this album put him back in the spotlight, as he had a new young tallented rapper at his side. Baton Rouge couldn't get enough. Shortly afterwards, Boosie released his debut CD, "Youngest of the Camp", which sold over 10,000 units and featured fellow up and coming Baton Rouge rapper Max Minelli, which was exactly what boosie needed to jump start his career. The album spread like wildfire, every hood in Baton Rouge had flyers up for it, everybody was playing it.

After the incarceration, Boosie once again turned back to the streets. Ultimately, his behavior led to him also being incarcerated. At this point, Boosie felt as though he was a failure. However, fate lent Boosie a hand, and Boosie had an opportunity to join an up and coming record label called Trill Entertainment aka Trill Ent which was backed by Pimp-C of UGK. Trill signed Boosie and assisted him in bring his legal issues to an end. Soon after, Boosie and Trill independently released the CD "For my Thugs" under TrillEnt. This release went on to sell over 15,000 copies. Later in the summer of 2003, Boosie co-starred with one of his label-mates, Webbie, on the album "Ghetto Stories" which also went on to sell well over 15,000 copies.

Again paired up with Webbie, Lil Boosie's 2004 release, "Gangsta Musik" is what really gained him popularity. This CD featured the ever popular songs "Swerve" (which later made an appearance in the movie "Hustle and Flow"), "Give Me That", and "Bad Bitch". This was Boosie's first really popular album, actually penetrating the borders of Louisiana and reaching far beyond.

Boosie's talent was now undeniable, and he caught the eye of some Universal Records representatives. In late January of 2005, Boosie signed a deal with Universal, and released the CD "Boosie Bad Azz". This album, backed and promoted by Universal Records, was his strongest yet. Boosie continues to gain popularity at an astonishing rate, and is no stranger to trouble with the law. Already incarcerated for probation violation on drug and gun charges, the Trill Entertainment rapper and two associates (one of them only 17 years old) were indicted on first-degree murder charges by a grand jury on Thursday, June 17, 2010. The men are accused of being involved in the shooting of 35-year-old Terry Boyd in his own house in October. District attorney Hiler Moore stated that the killing seemed to be "over turf" and that if Lil Boosie is convicted the death penalty is not out of the question. The same day, Hatch was also indicted on multiple drug and conspiracy charges for smuggling large amounts of codeine, ecstasy and marijuana into prison with intent to distribute. His girlfriend, a prison guard and a fellow inmate were also charged as co-conspirators. In addition to these charges, prosecutors believe the 27-year-old rapper may have been involved in at least five other slayings.

Boosie Badazz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drop top, wife beater and the weed lit
Woke up this morning, hit three chicks
Show money today, it's so sunny
Check the whip off playa, I'm getting money
Heaters on my face, yeah this a couple grand
Hunnid grand plus in my Jewel House pants
Everywhere I ride, getting love from the fans
Bun number 9, you can smell it when I pass

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

This is drop drop drop drop drop top music (Drop top music)
This is drop drop drop drop drop top music (Drop top music)

Today I'm in the Vic, Cuban chains on my neck
Look to the right, bad bitch on deck
Hottest nigga in the game and I'm feelin' like that
Big bank roll, "ooh kill 'em" like that
I might go in the mall and spend five
All black king tatt, Air Max 95
Go take a ride to that other side
Caught my nigga in that '63 Chevy
'Till that boy bring Ebony and Stephanie, Imma put 'em in the backseat
Three bad bitches and me, now we four deep
Loud in the air, livin' life without a care
To the hood where it's good, where we creepin' like a snail
Real slow, real slow, Cuban in my mouth
Lookin' up thankin' God that I'm the realest nigga out
Hand on the wheel and the pinky ring talk and the pinky ring talk
I'm a boss
Nigga this is,

This is drop drop drop drop drop top music (Drop top music)
This is drop drop drop drop drop top music (Drop top music)

Drop top double R, my name ring in the city
That phones been jumpin', they know I got 'em for 20
Bad boy with the bricks, my nigga Meek out in Philly
I got a house on the beach don't make me peel back the ceiling
Top down everyday to show these niggas my watch
On the phone at the light, my baby holdin' my Glock
Got a stick in the trunk, that bitch right next to the amp
If I got beef with a nigga then I got beef with his camp
Louboutins I'm ready, they red bottom ya dig
26 inch wheels and went and got 'em a bitch
Checkin' the luggage and carry on all the money
Thickest bitch in the club, you know that bitch lookin' for me
Bitches flaggin' me down they got me tappin' my breaks
Shorty pretty and her ass fat as half of the state
They wanna ride in the drop, she wanna fuck with a boss
She wanna fuck Boosie Boo, my nigga let down the drop
I'm out

Drop drop drop drop drop top music (Drop top music)
This is drop drop drop drop drop top music (Drop top music)
