Boosie Badazz released his new album, playing NYC tonight

Boosie

Talk to me about your recording process in prison. How did you do that?
Well it was all kind of ways. I was getting tape recorders, I was getting the guards to sneak me in iPhones. Whatever I had to do!

So you’re recording on some burners too and sending them out!
Yup! Sometimes you’ve got to break the rules to make money, that’s just plain and simple. And that’s what I was doing! I’m not going to say I went to jail and did right. I’m not going to say that, because I was going through a lot and I needed to be high half the time. I was going through a lot, but it made me value life more. It made me value my career more. It smartened me up. I was doing stupid stuff out there. Even though all these murders and all this was bogus, I was doing stupid stuff to lead people on as far as flashing guns every time you see me on DVDs. You know, that was stupid ass shit! Now I look at it like, “Damn, why was I doing that?” But it was fun then. But once they stack a lot of that against you, once you get in some trouble, that’ll make people look at you like, “Hey, he’s far from a saint!” [Noisey]
