10 Things We Learned From Lil Boosie's Press Conference - After being sentenced to eight years behind bars and serving nearly five, Lil Boosie was released last week to the great excitement of the hip hop community. Though he'd dropped a little bit of music since then, he hadn't spoken on a large scale until earlier today. In his native Louisiana, the rapper took part in a Q&A-style press conference with The Breakfast Club's Angela Yee — which was also attended by Jeezy, Bun B and Webbie — during which he talked about his time behind bars and what's next for his career. The demands to Free Boosie, after all, have captured headlines. Here are 10 things we learned. (Photo: Bryan Bedder/Getty Images)

Momma Knows - Boosie's mother worked for 30 years as a school teacher and principal. She's recently retired and has more time to celebrate the homecoming of her son. She attended the conference and even grabbed the mic to welcome him home.(Photo: XXL Magazine via Instagram)

Social Change - Technology develops very quickly — and a lot has changed since Boosie was last walking around with the newest gadget. Not only had he not seen Instagram, he was also surprised when he discovered FaceTime on the iPhone.(Photo: East Baton Rouge Sherrif's Department)

Still in the System - He may be home from behind bars, but Boosie still isn't completely free. He's on probation, which may last for up to four years, and is currently trying to sort out his travel possibilities, though he may be able to perform by the end of the month. (Photo: Wauketia Chestang/Splash News)

Boosie Love the Kids - Even though his lawyer advised against it, the first thing Bad Azz did upon being released was head to Baton Rouge to pick up his kids (he's got seven, or, as he said, "a football team"). (Photo: Johnny Nunez/WireImage)

All Alone - Lil Boosie said he wasn't granted conjugal visits while in jail, but he did "visit" himself. Let your imagination go with that one. (Photo: Bryan Bedder/Getty Images)

Still a Star - Boosie once got into trouble for giving a little girl an autograph (he couldn't refuse her, he said, because she cried), and ultimately was placed away from other inmates — given his own room and television — due to his popularity.(Photo: Getty Images)

Stay Working - Certainly, being locked up could stifle creativity. That wasn't the case for Boosie, however, as he said he wrote 1,018 songs while in jail. He's spent most of his nights since he came home in the studio recording them. (Photo: Wauketia Chestang/Splash News)

Bieber Fever - It may have been hard to keep up with new rappers while he was away, but Boosie does seem to know that Justin Bieber is one of the biggest stars around. The rapper said he's "got a hit" for the Biebs — here's hoping the new Southern resident was watching.(Photo: Lil Boosie via Instagram)

More Than Music - In addition to his hundreds of songs, Boosie says he also wrote a movie (Boosie the Movie) and a book about his life while inside. He's not sure yet how he'll distribute either. (Photo: Lil Boosie via Instagram)
