Baton Rouge can be a wild city.
With murders and robberies going down everyday,
anything can happen in the streets.
Crazy enough, the music and news tell us all about it.
Here are some Baton Rouge Drill lyrics that have actually happened…
“Matter fact n**** I use to call you my big brother
The you did some foul **** and had sex with my sister
Then threw it in my face in front of people on Insta
I ain’t gone speak on that disease that y’all gave to each other”
In this bar, Youngboy is addressing his beef with another Baton Rouge artist
named Gee Money, his childhood friend turned opp.
Although today NBA Youngboy is at the top of the rap game and worth millions of dollars,
the rapper had a rough childhood growing up on the streets of Baton Rouge.
His father was sentenced to 55 years in prison
and he moved in with his grandmother at 10 years old.
Not long after, he got involved in the streets
and ended up dropping out of school at 14 to pursue a rap career.
In middle school, Youngboy stated running around with his friend Lil Hurk
and together they were breaking into houses and doing whatever else they could to make money.
Lil Hurk was the young brother of a local rapper named Gee Money
who was a few years older than the two but became like a big brother to Youngboy.
Shortly after dropping out of school, Youngboy got arrested for robbery
and was sent to one of the worst young detention centers in the country.
While he was locked up, his grandmother who raised him died due to heart failure.
After getting out of juvie,
Youngboy was forced to ask his friends and family for food and shelter.
The rapper even stayed with Lil Hurk and Gee Money for a while,
who helped him get to the next stage in his rap career.
Gee Money was affiliated with a gang and record label called TBG.
Baton Rouge is divided into two sections
the upper section rep’s TBG or Top Boy Gorillas
and the lower section rep’s BBG or Bottom Boy Gorillas.
So, TBG was not only running the streets,
they had also established a record label to launch themselves into the music industry
and Gee Money was one of their most promising artists.
While Youngboy was staying with him, Gee Money mentored him
and helped him get signed to TBG.
Around that time, Gee Money released the single iPhone 6,
which featured a very young NBA Youngboy
and another up and coming Baton Rouge rapper: Fredo Bang.
This song took off and established Gee Money as one of the hottest rappers in the city.
Around the same time, Youngboy also released his debut project with TBG,
called: Life Before Fame, which failed to attract much attention.
So, Gee Money became the focus of TBG’s marketing efforts
and Youngboy was pushed to the side.
Feeling like he wasn’t getting the respect his talent deserved,
Youngboy eventually left TBG to focus on building his own label:
NBA, his own crew, and his own brand.
At that time, the rappers were still cool, but things would soon take a turn for the worse.
In late 2016, NBA dropped the project 38 Baby,
which featured guest verses from major Baton Rouge artists like Kevin Gates and Lil Boosie.
The title track blew up and established Youngboy as a major threat in the music industry.
He followed up quickly after with Mind of a Menace 3, which was also well-received.
Many of these early tracks contained subtle disses at his former label and partners,
but he didn’t mention anyone directly by name.
Then, he dropped a track called Change, off his project “Before I go” where he raps
“Youngboy, not TBG
NBA it’s a way of living
Let a n**** play he gon get it
talk about it like I ain’t wit it
Name a n**** shook me, you know I ain’t *****
You can save your breath, no advice tookin
**** what it is, ***** I see you lookin”
In this bar, he officially announces that he’s no longer cool with TBG
and if they have any problems he’s ready for whatever.
After he left the label it seemed like there was no bad blood between the two crews
and Youngboy just made a personal decision to go the independent route
to focus on building his own brand.
But with this track, he made it clear that he’s no longer rockin' with TBG
and if they have any problems with him, he’s ready for the smoke.
This track was basically a declaration of war
and made it official that NBA doesn’t rock with TBG and they were official opps.
On the same track,
Youngboy even name drops a few people who would later be involved in the beef.
First, he raps “Cooling on the phone with Dump”, talking about his manager,
who can be seen riding around with him in a video where Youngboy is rappin along to the song.
Dump would later be killed in retaliation for another murder in this deadly beef.
Later in the song, he also raps
“In the bottom ****** with dusa”.
Dusa is another rapper from Baton Rouge
who Youngboy was cool with before this whole beef popped off.
But just a few months later, Youngboy wouldn’t be rockin' with Dusa anymore,
after the rapper was allegedly involved in the murder of his cousin.
In November 2016, another up-and-coming rapper from Baton Rouge named Boozilla
was shot and killed.
Boozilla happened to be Youngboy’s cousin
and his death set off a wave of retaliation shootings in Baton Rouge.
Boozilla and Youngboy had actually been beefing for a while
but just made up before his death.
Internet rumors suggest that they fell out because Youngboy finessed him for a pack,
but they eventually straightened it out.
Boozilla repped BBG who is known to beef with TBG.
So, after Youngboy and Boozilla became tight again,
they began to plot against TBG, which is why Youngboy started dissing them in his music.
After Boozilla was killed, Youngboy was out for blood.
Not long before his death, Boozilla had dissed Dusa,
which is allegedly why he was killed.
So, Youngboy and a few of his homies did a drive-by on the suspected killers
and the rapper ended up catching an attempted murder charge.
This really escalated the beef between NBA and TBG,
with Gee Money responding to Youngboy’s disses in his own music.
Youngboy narrowly beat the attempted murder charge
after hiring an expensive team of lawyers
who called in music industry executives to testify on his behalf.
After spending about 8 months locked up he was given a 10 year suspended sentence,
which meant he'd be allowed to walk, but if he screwed up again, he’s locked up again.
Not long after being released from prison, he released the project Ain’t Too Long,
which contained the song Pour One, where he talks about his beef with Gee Money.
On the track, he admits that he once looked at the rapper as an older brother.
But after Gee Money had sex with his sister, then bragged about it on social media,
Youngboy felt pretty disrespected.
He also drops the bar
“when them n***** killed my cousin man that **** made me wonder”,
showing that Boozilla’s death also impacted his feelings toward TBG.
Around the same time, Gee Money did an interview with Say Cheese TV,
where he admits that he did sleep with Youngboy’s sister,
but it happened a long time ago and Youngboy wasn’t trippin' over it initially.
He mad, he mad about his sister too tho.
About his sister? Yeah I had ****** her a long time ago.
Ok.
Yeah he's mad about that.
He wasn't really trippin on it back then he was calling me big brother and ****
But after he got famous and started making some money,
he let his ego get the best of him and was tripping over old emotions he had kept bottled up.
But the beef was far from over
and more diss tracks and bodies in this ongoing war were yet to come.
This next bar is about an NBA affiliate
who was tragically shot and killed in front of his girlfriend and family.
“Left him slumped under his car he had his pistol” – Lit Yoshi
Lit Yoshi is another rapper from TBG, who got sucked into the beef
later on after Gee Money was murdered.
Youngboy and Gee Money had been trading diss tracks and making threats on social media.
Then, one night after Gee Money was leaving his studio,
he was shot and killed.
That put TBG at a major disadvantage on the music front
with their most popular artists now dead, while their other two most popular artists,
Fredo Bang and BLVD Quick, were in prison.
So, Lit Yoshi, one of TBG’s deadliest shooters, started rapping
just to throw shade at the NBA camp and keep the beef alive.
In this bar, Lit Yoshi is rapping about Youngboy’s manager,
Desmond Hardnett aka Dump,
who would become the next casualty in the war between NBA and TBG.
By that point, Youngboy had already become one of the most popular rappers in the industry
who was selling out shows across the country.
That made it near impossible for TBG to hit the rapper himself,
so they went after the closest person they could.
In May 2018, Dump was standing in the front yard
with his girlfriend and other family members when shots were fired from a vehicle driving by.
His girlfriend was also hit, and they were both brought to the hospital.
His girl survived but unfortunately Dump passed away.
Dump was not known to be involved in the streets, aside from his associations with Youngboy.
Before getting into the music industry he had worked in construction and landscaping.
Family members claimed that he didn’t have any known enemies.
So, he clearly wasn’t prepared for the attack that would take his life.
According to Lit Yoshi, he had a pistol on him when he was killed
which is common for anyone in the South, even those who aren’t in the streets.
But it was a surprise attack that no one saw coming,
so he wasn’t able to draw the weapon in time to protect himself.
Dump’s murder was meant to send a message to the NBA camp
that no one is safe in the streets of Baton Rouge
and anyone affiliated with them can get caught up in the drama.
The shooters were rumored to be Lit Yoshi and BLVD Quick,
who had just been released from prison not long before the shooting.
But it wouldn’t be long before NBA would keep the war going
by dissing his opps on another track.
“He ran his mouth about Top and Them
Got the drop and them we popped him”
– NBA Youngboy - The Last Backyard
In this bar, Youngboy is rapping about BLVD Quick who was rumored to be one of the shooters
responsible for Dump’s murder.
BLVD Quick was locked up at the time of Gee Money’s murder.
After he and Fredo Bang were both released,
the two rappers went on a mission to hold it down for TBG
and seek revenge for their homie’s death.
They started dissing Youngboy any chance they could get.
Youngboy had been kinda quiet over the past few months,
mainly because he had no one to beef with online after Gee Money was killed.
But after Dump was murdered and TBG started back up with the disses,
Youngboy was right back to his old ways.
It got so heated,
that Youngboy’s mom even jumped in and told her son’s two rivals to **** off
and leave Youngboy alone.
BLVD Quick responded and told her to mind her business,
which Youngboy wasn’t happy about.
Just a few weeks later, BLVD Quick was shot to death
outside the Lakeside Villa Apartments where he lived.
The rapper was standing outside the apartment complex
when he was shot several times.
This made him the second TBG rapper to lose his life in this beef.
BLVD Quick’s death
is believed to be direct retaliation for his involvement in Dump’s murder,
in addition to his constant dissing of Youngboy
and the comments he made toward the rapper’s mom.
So, in this bar, Youngboy is describing exactly what happened to BLVD Quick.
He started running his mouth but didn’t realize that Youngboy
still had goons all over the city.
They caught him lackin in the parking lot of his own home and the rest is history.
After Quick was murdered,
police started putting the pieces together
that many of the shootings and murders going on in Baton Rouge
were related to this beef.
They started going after all TBG or NBA affiliates linked to any of the crimes,
including Lit Yoshi who is currently being charged with several attempted murder cases
that came from this beef.
An NBA affiliate named NBA Pap was also arrested for the murder of Gee Money,
proving that the rapper was killed in retaliation for dissing Youngboy.
With all the other top rappers either dead or in jail,
this left just Fredo Bang and Youngboy
to compete over who is the most dominant rapper in the city.
Youngboy is clearly the more popular and successful rapper at the moment.
But all his street beefs and wild calls have gotten him into a lot of trouble.
He was recently arrested on a federal firearms charge that may turn into a RICO case,
which could potentially put the rapper behind bars for life.
Although Youngboy has always found a way to avoid serious jail time in the past,
it seems like the Baton Rouge police
and now the Feds have caught onto what’s going on in the TBG – NBA war.
They are looking to paint Youngboy as a violent gang leader
who has orchestrated hits on rival rappers like Gee Money and BLVD Quick.
And based on his own lyrics,
it isn’t too hard to get that impression as well.
Hopefully, Youngboy can stay on his best behavior
and hire a good team of lawyers who will help him secure his freedom.
But even if he does get out, it seems like it’s only a matter of time
before the rapper will be back in the streets.
