[edit] Controversy

During the early part of the decade, Rasaq as well as Chamillionaire, Paul Wall, Yung Ro, 50/50 Twin, and Lew Hawk formed a group known as The Color Changin' Click. They parted ways by 2003 and by 2004 Rasaq was allegedly jumped by former friend/rival rapper Paul Wall and his entourage at a nightclub. However, it was told that it was eight of Paul Wall's men that had just ganged up on Rasaq. Chamillionaire is quoted as saying that Rasaq wasn't hurt at all and that he still had items such as his chain; Chamillionaire also expressed his disappointment in Paul Wall, claiming that they all used to be family and that these events should not have happened. Rasaq decided to retaliate through music, releasing Bootlegger's Special 1.5 in 2004 which was loaded with disses aimed at Paul Wall as well as his label, Swishahouse, and label mates. As of 2007, Chamillionaire claims that there is no bad blood lingering between him and his brother and Paul, however they are still not on talking terms.
