Cash Money Records. I have always liked their product because they make no qualms about who they are and what they want. Flashy cars, flashy jewels, flashy "teef", flashy women. Most everyone else in hip hop today is just a walking contradiction. They are either poorly channeling gangsta rap of the late 90s (the game) or they are barely rappers and making a living off of nonsensical phrases (lil john).
Lil Wayne and Birdman have gotten back together for a full length album "Like Father, Like Son". The first single "Stuntin' like my daddy" is quite catchy and a great return to form. No one raps about rims and stuntin' like Cash Money. I was actually pretty surprised to find out Lil Wayne's last solo album went platinum. Birdman's solo effort wasn't as successful. It is good to see these two back together. Cash Money is like a Wu-tang Clan of sorts, but instead of Eastern philosophy they are all about western materialism. Others try, but these guys have turned urban materialism into a true art form.
I don't think this particular track is produced by Manny Fresh (if it was I would have expected at least 4 shout outs to him), but its pretty damn good. The video is directed by Cash Money vet Benny Boom and covers all the basics. My favorite scene: Birdman getting a tatt on his neck...while rapping. Truly a numba one stunna
