Gangsta Boo Talks To Talib Kweli About Three 6 Mafia, Working With Run The Jewels, Missing Out On An Oscar, Dealing With Depression, And More.
On this episode of People’s Party, Talib Kweli and co-host Jasmin Leigh sit down with Gangsta Boo -- a widely beloved lyricist and early member of Memphis hip-hop group Three 6 Mafia. The interview spans Boos fascinating career, coming up as a young rapper, making a name with Three 6, her own fascination with the occult, jumping ship before the Oscar for Hustle & Flow, and her role as “the third member of Run the Jewels.” Over the course of the interview, Boo is incredibly open, deeply insightful, and every bit as raw and real as her (very underrated) lyrics. If you’re a fan of Three 6, women in rap, or lyricism you’re going to want to check this episode out with a quickness.
