B.G.

Last week New Orleans rapper B.G. was arrested for gun possession during a routine traffic stop.After posting bond he is moving forward with the promotion and release of his eleventh studio album, Too Hood To Be Hollywood.  In our full length sit-down we covered everything from the charge, The Hot Boys reunion and battling his Heroin addiction to post Katrina New Orleans and his late friend Soulja Slim.

In the preview below he shoots down the notion that rappers get arrested to help boost their street cred.

“I have four convictions, you think I want another one? Another one will send me away for life…” – B.G.

    its crazy how r black celebs r being targets every time we get a little money, or the other folks think we gettin some kind of power they want to make examples of them. Since the beginning this rap thing got them real mad about its black power so they gone try to find a way to distroy or dismantle. It’s ok though we are too strong for them to brake. Jail is the best they can do they can’t make us slaves no more so jail is another form of slavery or a way for them to keep control. LOL it’s funny we got too much power and they goin crazy. BG too bad i ain’t yo girl because i would make you use your head if you know they out to get you, that is the streets and the law the name of the game is to be the smartist and that boy will only slow you down.Nodding is causein you to slipp what that tell you, i think you need an upper so u can see clearly you feel me

    I thought the reason you work so hard – as a rapper, bus driver, doctor, whatever – at your profession is to earn enough money so that you can REMOVE YOURSELF FROM SITUATIONS IN WHICH YOU HAVE TO CARRY A COLLECTION OF FIREARMS!! If all these rappers have as much money as they say, then why in the hell would you continue to live in places that are so dangerous that you have to break the law anyway?? If dude already has convictions, then he should re-think where and how he’s livin so that he can avoid goin back to jail. It’s damn near 2010, so the Black people that are still blaming ‘them’ and crying about being a target are the ones with that slave mentality. Grow the f**k up, and stop piling up cases against YOURSELF!!

    most poeple remove themselves from non-safe environments when they obtain the financial means. but many for many folk, i guess you can apply that old song to them “street life…is the only life i know”

    I’m from the N.O. Downtown. I respect niggaz who don’t b***hup when it comes down to killing cops. Yes it may be true that New Orleans is the murder capitol. But these niggaz kill out of envy, jealousy, fear, or to empress some other nigga that’s fony. 99% of New Orleans killaz never attempt to shoot at cops or have a cop killa mentality. 99% of these N.O. killaz are high when they pull off acts. But they wise up soon as them lights flash on them. These so-called real niggaz don’t ever kidnapp or kill prosecutors or their family members. Also, what about the judge? Man, truth be told, most of these niggaz ain’t nothing but cry babies. Whenever they can’t have their way they poke their moughts out like a b***h. I’m here to tell every viewer of these comments that New orleans is in need of a major riot. A major war between cops, whites and street niggaz. these racist whitefolks has just jacked us out our city. Tore down the projects where we were born and raised. A place where our mothers and grand mothers said their greatest prayers. I mean, this is a place that these so called real niggaz claim to love and brag on because its the murder capitol? These sellouts are black klu klux klan. Pure house n****rs camouflage as Real Niggaz.

    I say if you dont wanna go to jail then don’t do the crime. Its against the law to carry a gun. SO don’t sit there an cray about going to jail for life..

    what’s really funny is the line says “all of my neighbors are white” well didn’t you look around the neighborhood before you bought the house? or maybe he was confused because of the heroin??? duh!!! there are plenty of neighborhoods that are nice, with successful well off people that are black. he could have easily moved to one! but then he couldn’t get his heroin from the white neighbors kids so hey, what do you do??? seems like a catch 22 to me LOL!

    How about stop commiting crimes. Get involved in church or some program that does something positive for the community, Somebody as small as TI has no business commiting crimes cause they will eat him alive in prison for real if he not in PC. Ask everyone behind bars doing time, nobody wants to be there and they would do things different if they could go back.

    if you pay attention to the message the guns or for protection,do you think a known rapper,known acter,or anybody thats known bigtime could walk threw or ride threw his or her hometown or hood with out being approached by some mutherf**ka who need cash and don’t want to get it the legal way,hell no so the guns or for protection,but i guess if you aint from the hood you wouldn’t know that.

    The real issue here, the real problem BLACK PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW THE LAW!!!!! I don’t give a f*ck if you have the highest paid lawyer on the face of the earth IT IS YOUR JOB TO KNOW THE LAW if you goin engage in illegal activity. From something simple to something major, your lawyer will spin it how he/she “thinks” is best for you!!!!! You the one footing the bill so call the shots! Don’t simply place your LIFE in a lawyers hands!!!!! You think these lawyers really got yo back!!!! Please don’t be that dumb! No matter how much money you have, if you ain’t kissing the white community’s ass YA DONE if you don’t know the law and use it to your advantage!

    Example: Michael Jackson, that was a white mans perversion he was engaged in, and that’s why he got off cause WHITE PEOPLE loved his sick ass! God rest his soul, but ya know its true! Hell M. Vick couldn’t get away with killing dogs and here MJ skipps out after pokin lil
    boy’s in the bottom!

    @jazzyellamami- it is NOT ILLEGAL to carry a gun! read and get to know the f*ckin constitution! Its ILLEGAL if you’re a FELON, felon ma!!!! That’s why these dudes get caught up! They felons b4 they even get famous, so already the man is on they back!!!!!! My people ya’ll better wake up!!!! I don’t give a damn what no copo, pig, slop bucket white-red neck threatens you with, KEEP YO MOUTH CLOSED if you getting questioned!!! All you betta say is L-A-W-Y-E-R lawyer, lawyer, lawyer!!!!!

    I look at these sistas and brothas and its a shame, get out the game and make it so the next can get out the game too! Don’t go back to the hood to engage in hood sh*t! Do bigger better things 4 real what the f*ck is they thinkin!!

    EXCEPT PAC! My mans was put behind the bars on a charge that is normally a misdemeanor!!!!!!!!!!!! sexual assault!!!! NOT rape as the pic quote said, sexual assault which means a b*tch could say “he brushed up against me and it made me feel uncomfortable” and now yo ass is behind bars!!!!! F*cked up man! F*cked up how Blacks keep gettin played by this “system!”

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/truthserumX/ truthserumX

    @War-Angel67- real talk! Im from AK, that’a Alaska and up here we gets dividends for our resource of oil! From what I’ve been told, if NO peps was on top of their game with the amount of resources ya’ll have, easily ya’lls dividends would quadruple what AK makes!!!!!

    But ya’ll don’t own your state! Its government property and that’s why they didn’t want to rebuild the state after Katrina, cause they want the nigg*z gone!!!! So they can take over the land. Yeah, there needs to be a riot, only Blacks fall back and down to quick when its really time to ride or die! real talk we gettin f*cked every step of the way!

    STOP DOIN THINGS THAT COULD GET YOU LOCKED UP. PUT THE WEED DOWN AND BECOME A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL. You have too much money to be soooo special. If you are going somewhere and you need a gun…let me throw u a lifeline..you dont have to go. I live in New Orleans Louisiana, and a few weeks ago my friend and I had the pleasure of running into B.G and a friend of his. we both knew who he was, we did not gock and stare or get star struck, he is regular person like everyone else. I went in to pay for my gas, came out pumped it and we over heard him and his friend laughing so we looked over and he started flicking his tounge at my friend. It was not cute, it was nasty. He should know how to carry himself point blank period and there is nothin wrong with knowing where you came from but realize where your trying to go. Whats so glorious about the hood? Ill take nothin for 200 alex…so if he gets another conviction i wontcry for him or shed a tear.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lfmickle11/ lfmickle11

    i dont feel bad for any of those rappers..u keep that s**t around u and this is wat happens stupidy. rappers is do dam stupid and ignorant

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MIz31/ MIz31

    I just listened to 20 seconds of this interview and I had to shut it off. Man get a damn license to carry. But his priors were probably keep him from leagally obtaining a gun. With all that money spent on lawyers you might as well had spent the money on a detail. But he is to worried about his image, whatever that is.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/AliceMarie1968/ AliceMarie1968

    I guess the judicial system is gonna have to make an example out of those rappers…I just pray for them

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/nikki497/ nikki497

    i honestly feel sorry for these rappers because some of them were raised in the streets, in hoods and do not know any better because of their up bringing. then when they geot m,oney it just got out of hand. i do, however know that once you reach a certain age you need to grow up. most of these rappers have children that they need to be teaching so they wont end up like them. i’m going to school for criminal justice so i can understand the law better, but big ups to B.G. hope all is well with him (he was my fav rapper from cash money).

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Agility/ Agility

    No sympathy at all. “If you get caught without [a gun] you deserve to be shot …” Are you serious? Really B.G.? Four convictions and and he doesn’t even think what he is doing is wrong?

    We live in a society where there seems to be absolutely NO concept of personal responsibility or accountability. Whenever someone does something that’s just flat wrong, there are a million excuses why it’s not their fault or why we should feel sorry for them or why it’s the government’s or the white man’s or Barack Obama’s fault. No one seems to be teaching their kids anymore that you make your own choices each and every single day, and you have to be prepared to deal with the consequences of those choices, whatever they may be.

    Million dollar recording contracts and no better than a common street thug. It’s sad really, even tragic. But that doesn’t negate the fact that he has no one but himself to blame. And frankly he needs to be locked up because he clearly is incapable of functioning within the rules of our society that protect innocent people doing positive things from those like him.

  • http://theurbandaily.com/music/do-rap-careers-have-a-shelf-life/ Do Rappers Have A Shelf-Life? | The Urban Daily

    [...] B.G. On Gun Charge, “Another Conviction Will Send Me Away For Life” If we use history as our guide, it seems that after about three years they will expire—like a bag of Doritos. Either the big bad, hit making “machine” kicks them out by no longer promoting and marketing their work as much, or the angst-ridden artist on the inside self-destructs and they become jail birds. Either way, Jay-Z and LL Cool J, two artists who enjoy success for ten plus years in the rap game, are the exceptions not the rule. We know that the fault can not always lay with the artist, maybe we (the audience) just moved on to the next big thing that was younger, more hunger, and even more hood then the last.  We ask you: Do Rappers Have A Shelf Life?
