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.
How She Got Her Name
Boosie Badazz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's how she got her name
She was a church girl, parents gave her everything
Had the best education but weak for conversation
She was chasing a life that she was blind to really
Fell hard for D-boys who never took her serious
And the L word made the church girl turn lame
Dude trip she move on now her sex sheet now river long
Nose still to the sky like she on, pussy wet she smell creed on Bond number 9
Ocean pussy, she was bad now the bitch ain't even fine
Look in her iPhone, every baller in the city
Now she sexually transmitted, don't even know who did it
Now she pointing fingers, need to reverse that finger
Got her daddy feeling bad like he a worthless preacher
People look and shake their heads, their conversation is her upbringing
That's how she got the name Quick Fuck Tina
People used to love her, but she don't know
And she don't know
That's how she got her name
That's how she got her name
People use to love her, but she don't know
And she don't know
That's how she got her name
That's how she got her name
Let me tell you about Dirty Diana, she really come up with nothing
Uncle used to touch on her he was really a monster
And it affected her, gang banged niggas they respected her
The reason they respected her, she loved setting niggas up
Cut throat from her own granny, taking cash
A nigga break up with her, she send niggas to his stash
She was envious, fuck her best friend boyfriend
Tell her leave her boyfriend then she fuck her best friend
Had a face full of sympathy but heart cold-blooded
Stayed fresh all the time but her little girl had nothing
She would con people, everybody not some people
Steal your birth date and social have you wanted by the folk
Got worse when she turned to cocaine for a high
She was a no brainier, loose cannon and all that
Set a young nigga up for like two hunnid stacks
He came back, Rest in Peace Dirty Diana
People used to love her, but she don't know
And she don't know
That's how she got her name
That's how she got her name
People use to love her, but she don't know
And she don't know
That's how she got her name
That's how she got her name
Now Katie the Chaser, mama was a gold-digger
She looked up to her so she took the same road with her
Mama use to tell her if he ain't on don't talk
Showed her how to put on M.A.C, even showed her how to walk
Katie was real pretty nice ass, nice titties
15 had a nigga, 25 really gettin' it
He went to prison, she moved on, it was an never ending cycle
On to the next baller, her last she don't even write him
Go to rap concerts just to get backstage
Know it's a high percentage, they see her she getting saved
Gold chain, gold earrings, kept her a Benz
Met big head Tony when she really got in
Tony fell, she went to gold mouth L
He been around, let her run his ho shop a lil bit shit he put her down
Years later saw Katie and her weight decreased
Gold mouth dun gave her HIV, Katie the Chaser
People used to love her, but she don't know
And she don't know
That's how she got her name
That's how she got her name
People use to love her, but she don't know
And she don't know
That's how she got her name
That's how she got her name
The song "How She Got Her Name" by Boosie Badazz tells the stories of three different women and how their choices led them down a path of destruction, resulting in them being labeled by society as Quick Fuck Tina, Dirty Diana, and Katie the Chaser. The lyrics depict the struggles that these women faced, from the church girl who fell for drug dealers to the woman who turned to cocaine for a thrill. It delves into topics such as sexual promiscuity, substance abuse, and domestic violence.
The first verse revolves around the story of the church girl who fell for the bad boys and lost her way. She went from being a good girl to having casual sex with multiple partners without realizing the consequences. She also became a victim of sexual transmitted infections, which left her disrespected by society, and that's how she got her nickname "Quick Fuck Tina." Her image was tarnished, and even her father felt ashamed, who was a preacher, and others discussed her upbringing.
The second verse depicts Dirty Diana's story, who was abused by her uncle as a young girl, which led her down a dark path. She started to lure men into compromising situations to rob them, and in some cases, kill them for their wealth. The situation worsened as she got into hard drugs, and she lost her life at the age of 19.
The last verse focuses on Katie, who followed her mother's footsteps of seeking financial stability through men. However, she too became trapped in a cycle of chasing one rich man after another, resorting to using her looks and sexuality to manipulate men. Eventually, she contracted HIV from a man she was associated with, and her health deteriorated drastically.
In conclusion, the song tells a harrowing story of three women who suffered the consequences of their actions, faced stigma from society and were forever labeled by their poor choices.
