In 2005, Yung Berg worked as a hypeman and recording assistant for Disturbing tha Peace member and Chicago rapper Shawnna. He also appeared in the music video for singer Kat DeLuna's debut single Whine Up.
Yung Berg is one of the the founders of the Yung Boss imprint and production team Yung Bosses, along with JFK and Rob Holladay. In December 2008, Berg began casting "exceptionally stand out beautiful dark skin/brown skin women to showcase beauty of all races" for a potential dating reality show that he would host. However, as evidenced by the trailer for his new TV Show, titled "Back In Business", it will no longer be a dating show.
Yung Berg has previously insulted Miami rapper Brisco on a video podcast. After singer Ne-Yo accused Berg of copying auto-tune vocal style from T-Pain and Lil Wayne, Berg posted a video blog criticizing Ne-Yo.
Outerspace
Yung Berg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We have spent
So much time looking for someone to blame
'Cause were the same
The jealous games
Take up time we could spend on other things
Oh my friend
If it ends
We can't be
You and me
Taken' ourselves much too seriously
But out in space
A million miners work upon
The night's cold face
But all I see is black
And all the stars look back
At me
Oh my friend
What a friend
I'd have thought you'd have stayed here till the end
I take a bow
Draw the crowd
We're just words in the sand at high tide
But out in space
A million miners work upon
The night's cold face
But all I see is black
And all the stars look back
And I'm leaving
Oh my friend
We should spend
Some more time looking from the other end
'Cause we would see
So clearly
We'd blame ourselves as much as we'd blame weed
We'd blame ourselves as much as we'd blame weed
We'd blame ourselves
The lyrics to Yung Berg's song "Outerspace" appear to be a commentary on human relationships and how we tend to focus on placing blame rather than enjoying each other's company. The opening lines, "Oh my friend / We have spent / So much time looking for someone to blame" suggests that the singer has experienced conflict with their friend and has been caught up in playing "jealous games." The chorus invokes a sense of vastness and insignificance, conjuring an image of oneself in outer space looking back at the stars. This serves to remind the singer of the relatively small and unimportant nature of their problems and conflicts.
The second verse continues the theme of separation and ending relationships, with the lines "What a friend / I'd have thought you'd have stayed here till the end." The singer then takes on a performative role, "draw[ing] the crowd" and recognizing that ultimately, they are merely "words in the sand at high tide." The final verse seems to offer a solution to the conflicts discussed earlier: instead of blaming each other, the singer suggests that they "look[ed] from the other end" and try to consider their own role in the situation.
Overall, the song encourages a sense of perspective and reflection, reminding listeners that their problems and conflicts are relatively small in the grand scheme of things. It also suggests that taking responsibility for one's actions and avoiding the trap of blame can lead to healthier and more fruitful relationships.

Oh my friend
Addressing a friend
We have spent
We have dedicated time
So much time looking for someone to blame
A lot of time to find a scapegoat
'Cause were the same
Because we are similar
The jealous games
Competitive, envious behavior
Take up time we could spend on other things
Wasting time
Oh my friend
Addressing a friend
If it ends
If it ends
Let us go and then not look back again
Let's move on without dwelling on it
We can't be
We cannot continue
You and me
Together, us
Taken' ourselves much too seriously
Being overly self-important
But out in space
In the vast universe
A million miners work upon
Countless individuals hard at work
The night's cold face
The dark night sky
But all I see is black
All I see is darkness
And all the stars look back
The stars seem to be observing me
At me
Focused on me
Oh my friend
Addressing a friend
What a friend
A true friend
I'd have thought you'd have stayed here till the end
Expected loyalty until the end
I take a bow
Acknowledging applause
Draw the crowd
Gathering attention
We're just words in the sand at high tide
Temporary, insignificant in the grand scheme
But out in space
In the vast universe
A million miners work upon
Countless individuals hard at work
The night's cold face
The dark night sky
But all I see is black
All I see is darkness
And all the stars look back
The stars seem to be observing me
And I'm leaving
Departing
Oh my friend
Addressing a friend
We should spend
We ought to dedicate time
Some more time looking from the other end
Examining things from a different perspective
'Cause we would see
We would realize
So clearly
Very clearly
We'd blame ourselves as much as we'd blame weed
We would acknowledge our own faults
