YG And Lil Wayne Team Up Again For “Miss My Dawgs” Single

by

Lil Wayne and YG released their song “Miss My Dawgs” earlier today (Dec. 9) and also shared a music video for the hot collaboration. 

The pair previously worked together on YG’s “Blood Walk” and Lil Wayne’s “Trill N*gga,” and are now bringing their infectious sound to the masses once again. Speaking candidly on their new single, the rappers get real about losing friends, loyalty, and more.

In an Instagram post earlier this week, the Compton rapper gifted Lil Wayne a chain with YG’s 4Hunnid brand logo. “F**k yeah, n***a. Love, n***a,” Tunechi says in the video clip, offering him a hug.

Often crowned the GOAT of hip-hop, Lil Wayne has been praised by fans for his unique flow, hard-hitting lyrics, and lasting music legacy. Despite being in the game for over two decades, the Louisiana native continues to pride himself on his songwriting capabilities.

While interviewing with the I Am Athlete podcast earlier this year, the “Go DJ” rapper shared the process behind his songs, also admitting that he can spend weeks crafting lyrics.

“On god man, I can take seven weeks on two lines,” Lil Wayne shared in the sit-down. 

“I’ve said so much that I don’t ever wanna say the same thing. You have to understand your audience,” he then added. “It was certain things that I could’ve said to my audience in ‘95 that you not tryna hear that right now. But, I can figure it out and that’s the beauty of it.”

Quotable Lyrics:

You ain’t my dawg if we ain’t ever did no robberies

We had a cause, we was tryna hit the lottery

Young n*ggas ball, we was makin’ it out of poverty

We did our thang, we did our thang, we did it properly

YG And Lil Wayne Reminisce Over Friendships Past On Their New Song, ‘Miss My Dawgs’

by

A little over two months after dropping his sixth studio album, I Got Issues, YG has shared a new single. On “Miss My Dawgs,” the Compton rapper reminisces on friendships that have come and gone over the years.

“Man, I miss my dawgs / The ones I pick up for, ain’t never missed a call / Plottin’ to get it poppin’, we had plans to get it all / Wishin’ you was here, dawg, to ride these foreign cars,” raps YG on the song’s chorus.

In the first verse, he recalls the loyalty of his friends and elaborates on what makes someone genuine, saying, “My dawg is one who ride for me / They wouldn’t try me for a body, they gon’ slide for free / Wherever I be steppin’, they on side of me / Bros over hoes, built off loyalty and honesty.”

Lil Wayne joins in with a verse, which is seemingly unrelated to his own song, “I Miss My Dawgs” from his 2004 album, Tha Carter. On his verse, he makes several dog-related analogies to his own loyal pack.

In the song’s accompanying video, clips of YG and Wayne with their friends and family at various points in their lives.

YG & H.E.R. “Go Dumb” On Their Latest Collab Track

by

YG and H.E.R. made magic back in 2019 with their “Slide” collab track, and as we welcome the former’s highly anticipated I GOT ISSUES album, a new joint song from the duo has quickly emerged as a fan favourite on the tracklist.

Titled “Go Dumb,” the nearly four-and-a-half minute long bop finds the two artists trading sensual verses. “Your body is banging, you look better naked / That p*ssy smell like water, you don’t spray it with fragrance,” the West Coast rapper rhymes to the woman he’s got his eye on.

For her part, the R&B superstar sings, “You see the wrist and the ‘Rari and you know / Don’t need no rich n*gga, got it on my own / You talkin’ money, it ain’t no discussion / All these n*ggas ain’t really ’bout nothing.”

Stream “Go Dumb” on Spotify below, and check out YG’s full I GOT ISSUES album here.

Quotable Lyrics:

Your body is banging, you look better naked
That p*ssy smell like water, you don’t spray it with fragrance
Cornrows with the bamboos, that bе my favourite
Bad bitch on the d*ck, I gotta tell hеr behave it

YG has been heavy on his reflective energy in recent years, and it all came together on his new album I Got Issues. Earlier this month, the Compton native blessed fans with the introspective track and visual for his single “Alone,” in which he vowed to leave the streets behind.

Earlier this week, the 32-year old rapper opened up about his new album in an Instagram video, sharing, “The album I Got Issues is basically insight on my life, an update on my life. I feel like my people haven’t heard from me in a real way, in a long time. So I’m giving them this album…I’m here with all my issues, you know what I’m sayin’.” Stream I Got Issues, available now on Apple Music and Spotify.
