Lil Boosie: a Doctor

If you haven't read the new XXL, you don't know enough about diabetes. In the XXL feature "The Truth," readers are offered the essay "Lil Boosie: More Than Music. The Bad Azz Talks about Coping with Diabetes." Here's what the diabetes sufferer and rapper whose hits include no hits and whose tracks include no particularly interesting tracks lets us know:

- "weed come from the earth, so it be helping me sweat my diabetes out."

- "I feel like when I rhyme about having diabetes, it makes me harder...it's like ...You aint got to worry about "Should I eat this?" or "Should I eat that?"
[ed. who doesn't get hard when people rhyme about diabetes?]

- "If there was a cure for diabetes, I would buy that shit."

- "There's some things you can do to get [diabetes] out of your system, by exercising and things like that, but unfortunately I don't have time to do that right now."

- "I'm just trying to keep these millions, so I can take care of more problems with the money and power I bring."
