Fresh from prison, Lil Boosie learns what a selfie, Instagram is

A lot can change in a short period of time.

What is new and popular today won't be in a year, as it will just be replaced by something newer, and different. Keep that in mind.

At this point, most members of modern society know what a 'selfie' is. The sheer number of selfies that are taken and posted is alarming, but that is a whole other issue entirely.

Anyway, most people are familiar with the concept of taking a picture of yourself with your smartphone and posting it to the internet to share with the four people who may be interested in such a thing.

In prison they don't have smartphones. The ability to take a picture of yourself whenever you want is just another right you may forfeit when committing a crime.

For those not up on hip-hop culture, Southern rapper Lil' Boosie, of Zoom fame, was recently released from prison after serving five years on drug charges.

In prison terms, five years isn't too long of a stint, but dang, a lot can change in five years. You probably do different things than you did five years ago, and your life is likely impacted by different devices than it was five years ago. Technology especially, is constantly evolving, and changing.

So you can understand Boosie's confusion when someone suggested that he take a post-prison selfie.

"What that is," he asked, before being given a tutorial on the practice of self-picture taking by a caring individual, looking to help Boosie Bad Azz assimilate back into modern society.



"Oh, okay," Boosie, government name Torrence Hatch, responded, sounding like he was beginning to understand the art of selfie.

Maybe his next album cover will be a selfie shot.

Self-picture taking popularity wasn't the only area where Boosie was behind the times. Instagram didn't exist when he was originally booked behind bars, and neither did FaceTime, a concept that was both crazy and exciting to the recently-released rapper.

Welcome back, Boosie.
