In 2012, while the rapper from Baton Rouge, La., was serving an eight-year sentence on drug charges, he stared down a first-degree murder charge that could have landed him on death row if convicted. A jury found him not guilty that May and Boosie&#x2019;s lawyers subsequently managed to get him released early on the drug charges, allowing him to get back to his family and making music.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-643de815-6846-5124-a445-4a41d938d32d\">Since his release on March 5, 2014, Boosie has been on a tear, releasing seven mixtapes<\/span>, his sixth solo album, <em>Touch Down 2 Cause Hell<\/em>, the record label compilation <em>Trill Entertainment Presents: Trill Fam &#8211; Respect Is a Must<\/em>, and a collaboration album with C-Murder, <em>Penitentiary Chances<\/em>.

Boosie remains on parole until 2018, so there&#x2019;s no smoking, but the two stars discussed his defining relationship with Pimp C, suspect marijuana laws, business lessons, cancer, fatherhood, eye-popping gold chains, and much more. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-643de815-6846-5124-a445-4a41d938d32d\">Want to see more celebs like Boosie, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/merryjane.com\/culture\/seth-rogen-back-on-ggn\">Seth Rogen<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/merryjane.com\/music\/snoop-dogg-omarion-ggn-interview\">Omarion<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/merryjane.com\/music\/rick-ross-on-ggn\">Rick Ross<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/merryjane.com\/music\/video-original-ggn-with-dj-khaled\">DJ Khaled<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/merryjane.com\/music\/video-original-ggn-with-khloe-kardashian\">Khloe Kardashian<\/a> chopping it up with Uncle Snoop?
