I must admit, ever since New Orleans rapper Lil Boosie Badazz got out of prison in 2014, he has become a new man. I personally liked some of his music but never really followed his career prior to. Since his release, he can do no wrong in my eyes. I just like the guy what can I say. I get a kick out of him. His interviews are always classics.
Boosie’s time in the bing grew him up and after his release it was obvious that he was finally headed down the right path. I can appreciate his redemption story.
Check out this video of Boosie talking about how his fans touch his heart when they let him know that they appreciate his music.
Around the :53 mark Boosie breaks out in song belting out the 1993 hood classic throwback, “Gangster Lean.” And he sings it from the heart.
According to AJC Atlanta— A man jumped over an Atlanta Rite Aid counter and filled his backpack with cough syrup. The employee said that the man watched her until she finished with her last customer then hopped over the counter and told her, “Don’t move and you won’t get hurt.”
He took 10 bottles of Promethazine cough syrup worth $137.96 and “walked out of the store calmly,” according to the report she gave the police.
Wow.
For those who aren’t familiar, Promethazine is a codeine antihistamine that is the main ingredient used to make “lean” — a popular drug drink of choice for rappers. It can be used to treat everything from allergies to motion sickness. It is so potent that it is also used as a sedative before and after surgery and medical procedures.
When mixed with Sprite, the “drink” is highly addictive. Some rappers –such as Lil Boosie say they have stopped “sipping the drink,” mainly because of its painful and excruciating withdrawals. Withdrawal symptons can be likened to coming off of heroin.
According to Lil Boosie, due to today’s popularity of syrup, there is a heightened demand and pints of promethazine can go for as much as $5000.00 on the streets.
Via Variety— Donald Trump defended his decision to ban transgender individuals from the military, saying that he’s doing the armed forces a “great favor” on an issue he calls “complicated” and “confusing.”
Trump, speaking to reporters in Bedminster, N.J., said:
“I think I’ve had great support, or I’ve had great support from that community. I got a lot of votes. But the transgender, the military’s working on it now.
It’s been a very difficult situation and I think I’m doing a lot of people a favor by coming out and just saying it. As you know, it’s been a very complicated issue for the military, it’s been a very confusing issue for the military, and I think I’m doing the military a great favor.”
Trump’s announcement of the ban, in a tweet on July 26, reportedly caught military leaders by surprise.
After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow……
Defense Secretary James Mattis had announced that the department was reviewing the policy, but that was expected to last through the end of the year.
Trump’s announcement of the ban drew criticism from the LGBT community, Democrats, and some Republicans on Capitol Hill.
Chad Griffin, the president of the Human Rights Campaign, called Trump’s comments on Thursday “delusional.”
“Donald Trump’s attack on transgender troops weakens our military and is a betrayal of those who wear the uniform. Fifty-six retired admirals and generals, Republican and Democrat elected officials, and a majority of the American public have all condemned Trump’s misguided and despicable policy that will do nothing but undermine military readiness and harm brave transgender service members and their families.”
I wanna her from you.
Do you think that trans-gendered people should be able to actively serve in the military?
