| YELLOW BOY, THA JACK OF ALL TRADES....MISTA LAKE MISSISSIPPI, A MEMBER OF THE GROUP B.C., IS QUOTED IN SAYING "I DO IT BIG ALWAYS MANE. IM FROM A CITY THAT I GIVE MY HEART TO ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS, AND WHEN I SAY FROM, I AINT SAYIN I WAS BORN THERE, IM SAYIN WHERE I SPENT THE PART OF MY LIFE THAT ALLOWED THIS TRANSITION FROM A BOY TO A MAN, FROM WILD AND OUTTA CONTROL TO A QUIETE RIOT AND FROM A SOULJA OF THA STREETS TO A MUFUCKIN GANGSTA!! PLEASE BELIEVE THAT WITHOUT GOD NOTHIN WOULD BE POSSIBLE, HE GIVES ME STRENGTH AND WISDOM AND THE POWER I NEED IN ORDER TO PROSPER IN THIS WORLD." YELLOW BOY, BORN IN FORT POPE, LA IN 1983, ALWAYS WANTED TO EXPRESS HIMSELF, AND DID SO THRU POETRY. WRITING POETRY WAS NOT ADVERTISING ENOUGH AND HE COULDNT REACH ENOUGH PEOPLE THROUGH HIS WORDS ON PAPER ALONE. IN 1996, WHILE LIVING IN THE HUMBLE BUT SHAKING NEIGHBORHOOD OF HERITAGE VILLAGE IN NORTH CAROLINA, ALSO KNOWN AS 801, HE DECIDED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO REACH OUT TO PEOPLE WITH LYRICS INSTEAD. THOUGH PEOPLE DISPUTE HOW A CHILD RAISED IN A NORMAL HOUSEHOLD WITH BOTH PARENTS COULD CREATE SO MUCH KAOS FOR HIMSELF AND THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM, IT IS CLEAR THAT ONE DOES NOT ALWAYS FOLLOW IN THE PATH IN WHICH HE IS RAISED, HE IS THOUGH, AT TIMES, A PRODUCT OF HIS ENVIRONMENT. DRIVEN BY A ROUGH PAST, SHALLOW PRESENT AND TAINTED FUTURE YELLOW BOY POLISHED HIMSELF UP IN LAKE, MS. YELLOW BOYS DESTRUCTIVE ATTITUDE LASHES OUT IN HIS LYRICS. SUGGESTING THAT TO REACH THE TOP HE WILL LET NO BARRIER STAND IN HIS WAY. HE IS LASTLY QUOTED SAYING, "HATE ME, LOVE ME, I DONT GIVE'A FUCK CAUSE IM'A GET ME!!!! AND THEN MY NIGGAS GONE EAT TOO...." |
