Summary
- Baton Rouge rappers Boosie and Webbie were rivals in 2010 film
- Duo formed friendship through strip clubs, money, and crack cooking
- Baton Rouge known for strong rap duos like 70th Street Carlos and WNC Whopbezzy
In the Baton Rouge rap scene, the duo of 70th Street Carlos and WNC Whopbezzy have recently made a comeback with their new album "Out The Blue". The pair, who were once rivals, have a long history dating back to their childhood when Whopbezzy first walked into their first-grade class with a flashy appearance that caught Carlos' attention.
Years later, the two started rapping together in the mid-2010s, making a name for themselves in the competitive Louisiana rap landscape that saw the rise of artists like NBA YoungBoy and JayDaYoungan. However, they eventually took an unexplained break from releasing music as a duo. Now, with their return, they are picking up right where they left off, reigniting the local rivalry that mirrors the storyline of the 2010 Baton Rouge hood film "Ghetto Stories".
In that film, rappers Boosie and Webbie played rival characters from opposite sides of town who eventually formed an unlikely friendship through shared experiences like strip club nights, getting money, and cooking crack. This narrative reflects the real-life bond between Carlos and Whopbezzy, showcasing Baton Rouge's rich history of successful rap duos that have defined the city's vibrant music scene.
