Down here in the South, (i.e. New Orleans, Baton Rouge and other areas) niggas listen to niggas who they can relate to, Like when B.G. 1st hit the scene, niggas in the N.O. we were on him heavily, a lil nigga 12 years old spitting gangsta shit, talking about them silver packs, (snorting coke), shit that happens down here everyday, and to hear it coming from a younsta like him was how he made his fanbase, it wasn't no secret being young seeing how shit was down here, so hearing him spit the shit on wax, thats what made/have niggas bumping his shit, same as for boosie, i was able to live in both cities, N.O. and B.R. and really it's not much of a difference other than N.O. have wards and B.R. have neighborhoods,(N.O. have more killings, but because of the confined areas down there, B.R. is a bit more spreaded out, but still the murder rate and struggle is no different, both cities are still retarded, so Boosie being young, spitting that shit that he saw coming up and that the average joe living down here see's this shit everyday, is how he got niggas to bump his shit.
