It’s a twerk overload as Juicy J, Bad Azz, Ty Dolla $ign and Kid Ink add their contribution to Ca$h Out’s “She Twerkin”. His debut Let’s Get It drops September 2.
According to Boosie, he feels it’s his heartfelt music that has given way to comparisons to Tupac.
After referring to comparisons to Tupac as a privilege, Boosie went on to inform those watching that comparisons to the late rapper came well before he was released from the Louisiana State Penitentiary last week.
“It’s a privilege to get compared to Tupac,” Boosie said. “This didn’t start when I came home. This been going on way before I came home. Cause we both got heartfelt music. And when you got heartfelt music you get put in that category with Tupac. And I can make—And I always did make that music that touched people, man. You know it’s different. Like some artists can have three million fans. And some artists can have a million fans, but a heartfelt artist, a million fans love him five times more than that other artist three million fans…And when you get in that heartfelt category with Tupac, you special to people.”
With a little over 1,000 written songs to his name, Boosie say he’s already at work crafting his next album and is open to collaborations with anyone in the music industry.
“I’ll probably be releasing a single real soon. I’m working on the album already,” he said. “I’m in the studio right now. I got like 15 songs I done did in three days. It’s hot, dog. That’s all I can say…I’m ready to go to work. So, anybody in the industry you wanna collab, we can make something happen, man.”
Although Boosie’s ties to the city of Baton Rouge are evident, the Louisiana rapper says he’ll always give back to the city, but currently has no plans on living in Baton Rouge.
“Nah, it’s always gon’ be home, but I don’t wanna live there anymore…I’mma always give back to Baton Rouge, but as far as living there? As far as laying my head there? Nah, nah. I got to go to a city where I ain’t the only one driving a Bentley Coup,” Boosie said. “Getting pulled over every day. So, it’s not about that. It’s just about—It’s about your future. You can’t stay in one place.”
Boosie’s interview with Complex TV comes one day after Boosie was joined by the likes of Webbie, Jeezy, and Bun B during the Boosie Speaks press conference. During yesterday’s press conference, the Trill Entertainment emcee revealed that he penned 1,118 songs while in prison and also wrote an autobiographical film titled, Boosie The Movie.

Lil Boosie's release date has officially been moved up, but fans of the Baton Rouge rapper still have to wait about 8 months until he sees this side of prison walls. Lil Boosie, whose real name is Torrence Hatch, is now listed with the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections as having a release date set for Aug. 18, 2014.
Hatch's release date has consistently been a topic of discussion on hip hop and rap message boards and blogs in the previous months thanks to rumors that he would be released in November 2013. That month came and went without a word from Hatch.
Rick Ross previously alluded to a November release date as well in an interview with New York radio station Power 105.1 in which he also seemed to extend a record deal offer to the legally-troubled rapper.
"I'm going to put a bag on the table for that boy," Ross said to the station. "You never know."
According to a previous conversation with Pam Laborde, communications director with the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, Hatch will remain on supervision through June 17, 2018.
Hatch's prison stay began in 2009 when he pleaded guilty to a third-offense marijuana possession charge, earning him a total of four years when the judge determined Hatch had also violated probation. In 2011, Hatch pleaded guilty to attempting to smuggle drugs into prison, which added eight years to his sentence.
In May 2012, Hatch avoided more time when a jury acquitted him in the 2009 murder of Terry Boyd. Michael "Marlo Mike" Louding was sentenced to life without parole July 9 for the Boyd slaying.
A call for comment to Hatch's attorney was not immediately returned.
