Smoove DA RB EXPOSES Street Code Truth: Ratting, Paperwork & Rap Credibility Debate

In this raw, no-holds-barred episode of That Ain't My Business, hosts Nesto and PTB Ugly sit down with special guest Smooth RB to dig into the heated debate around "ratting" and what it means to be a "gangster" in today’s rap scene. Smooth RB calls himself an "exterminator" and walks through why exposing informants matters to him, how the street code works, and how paperwork and public proof have shaped reputations in Baton Rouge and beyond.

The conversation ranges from personal anecdotes — run-ins at a tequila fest, a past warehouse incident, and Messy Monday moments — to high-profile examples in the industry. They discuss and argue over cases and figures brought up during the interview (names and paperwork are debated), the difference (or lack of difference) between "ratting" and "telling," and whether third-party or civilian testimony changes how someone is judged on the street.

The group also examines the music-business side: managers, promoters, labels and how industry deals sometimes collide with street expectations. Smooth RB and the hosts debate whether rappers can separate commercial success from street credibility, and whether law enforcement, media and streaming-era money have made snitching more common or even more appealing to younger artists.

Listeners are taken through the local landscape — Sherwood, Baton Rouge and Shreveport scenes are namedropped with artists, producers and collectives discussed — and hear candid takes on who’s respected, who’s lost credibility and how cultural and generational shifts are reshaping what counts as authenticity in Southern hip-hop.

Expect loud opinions, pointed name-checks, and first-person storytelling: the episode is part interview, part rant and part manifesto from Smooth RB about policing the culture he loves. Whether you’re here for the music-business angle, the street-code ethics, or the personalities and anecdotes from Louisiana’s rap community, this episode serves up an unfiltered look at snitching, loyalty and the cost of truth in the age of paperwork and social media.
