YG Says ‘How To Rob A Rapper’ Is Not A Diss In L.A Leakers Freestyle

YG made his return to the L.A Leakers to body another freestyle while promoting his I Got Issues album earlier this week.

The Compton rapper paid homage to his fallen West Coast homie Nipsey Hussle by delivering a vicious freestyle over the instrumental to Nip’s 2009 debut commercial 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 raps.

YG took time out following his freestyle to explain the meaning behind his viral song “How to Rob a Robber,” which he’s taken criticism for due to the ill-timing of the record being released shortly after PnB Rock was shot and killed in an armed robbery in Los Angeles last month.

“I gotta say this, and ‘How to Rob a Rapper’ is not a diss it’s just a message to these rappers please be on yo shit,” he explained.

In a separate clip, YG detailed how he’s going to paint an accurate picture of his city when it comes to “How to Rob a Rapper” which he recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic when crime was skyrocketing around 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 sugarcoating nothing.”
