YG made his return to the L.A Leakers on Thursday (October 6) to body another freestyle while promoting his new album I Got Issues earlier this week.
The Compton native paid homage to his fallen West Coast homie Nipsey Hussle by delivering a vicious freestyle over the instrumental to Nip’s 2009 single “Hussle in the House.”
“Bitch I’m a whole gangsta like my stage name / Get money and fuck on yo main thang / Paparazzi, fuck the fame, tequila sippin’ numb the pain / Why every time some shit happen YG the one to blame?” he rapped.
YG also took time out following his freestyle to explain the intent behind his I Got Issues track “How to Rob a Rapper,” which he’s faced criticism for due to it being released shortly after PnB Rock was murdered during a robbery in Los Angeles last month.
“I gotta say this, and ‘How to Rob a Rapper’ is not a diss,” YG clarified. “It’s just a message to these rappers: please be on yo shit.”

In a separate clip posted on Justin Credible’s Instagram page, YG elaborated on the making of “How to Rob a Rapper,” which he recorded way back during the COVID-19 pandemic when crime was skyrocketing in Los Angeles.
“‘How to Rob a Rapper’ is one of my favorite records because I got back to my storytelling bag,” he said. “I’m not glorifying what’s going on in the city, but bro, I’m from L.A. I got dead homies, friends behind this city. So I’ma talk about how it is. I ain’t sugar-coating nothing.”
YG’s I Got Issues on September 30 with features from Nas, J. Cole, Roddy Ricch, Moneybagg Yo, Post Malone and more.
Times like this are when a strong record label would have stepped in to save these rappers from themselves. But nobody is quality controlling shit these days. Just put out every song you make and see what sticks.
