DB.Boutabag

South Sacramento rapper DB. Boutabag makes rap music meant to hit you in the chest, and then make you start a fight with the resident clout chaser in your neighborhood. There’s a reason why he deadpans, ‘’Disrespect, I gotta beat him like he stole somethin’’ on ‘’Fetuccine,’’ the first song from his second studio album, 2 Klocks. He’s constantly disgusted by the people around him who aren’t getting money, girls, or being regular stand up people. These are not songs to be played at golf courses. They are intended to be anthems for those getting money and ‘’staying dangerous.’’ If they don’t tear a hole in the streets of Sacramento, then he didn’t do his job. You get the attitude of someone who neels like they’ve been wrongly overlooked. And maybe being from Sacramento has something to do with this: “I don’t politic then, I don’t politic today/I’m from Sac not the Bay, let’s just get this shit straight’’, he raps on ‘’False Statements’.’ Get it right. This is elite shit talking. On ‘’Non Stoppin,’’ he brags about having sex on camera. He compared raking leaves to his friends being on the streets. He is somewhat annoyed that nobody is asking him to stay safe, they are only asking him to stay dangerous. He says that as if he’s mad that they would even ask because he already knew to stay dangerous. His first album, Bag Klan Misfit, started his style of talking shit until your ears rang with his insults. On ‘’Full Press D’’ he threatened to make his enemies into paraplegics like the guy who played Superman. DB isn’t only a pure shit talker though: On ‘’Slidin’ All Together,’’ he is able to combine his brashness with some words for his family. He’s aware life isn’t all roses. He wants to get out and pass on some wealth to his family. In between the boasts, he’ll talk about sharing clothes with his brother. Nonetheless, as long as there is a system in place to keep people poor, stories of humble beginnings and bag chasing will always remain relevant. ~ Jayson Buford, Passion of the Weiss
