Speakin' of Boosie Bad Azz.... Ayo 2Shin

I ended up revisiting your excellent Lil B piece on Platform last week after it brought me another blob of hits, but then found myself totally horrified by this remark by you during the comment section brouhaha that I'd missed first time around, bruv :



Chigga, you James Bond but no, no, no, no, no because Boosie's voice was everything great about Pimp C and B.G condensed down into rap's most austere yowl and his music followed suit as the perfect bluesy synthesis of UGK and N.O legends such as B.G and Soulja Slim. Thus, it's time you hop aboard the Boosie express with a quick compilation of some of my favourite Bad Azz joints from 2003 - 2010* which I've thrown together in the hope that you'll emerge from the journey with the Boosie/CJ from Eggheads fade calling yourself Lil' 2Shoosie afterwards. That goes for you too, HL, if you're still interested in a fairly cursory investigation of Boosie before diving head first into his catalogue. Choo-choo :

* Nothing from the Concentration Camp/Youngest Of Da Camp-era because he sounds so different then, even though a joint like Feel Lucky is essential to any Boosie fan's stash as the 3 or 4 best C.O.C joints are to any Cam connoisseur. Much like Lil B, he has that weird reverse voice-break situation going on where he had more bass in his voice as a teenager than he does as an adult.
