Playaz Circle featuring Lil' Wayne "Duffle Bag Boy"


If we were truly concerned about the effects of global warming, why haven't we taken a look at Weezy. Everytime the man goes to open his mouth, he unleashes straight fire, a fact sure to be considered when icebergs are melting at such a rapid pace. Featured on this breakout offering from Disturbing Tha Peace duo Playaz Circle, Wayne easily steals the show with his addictive hook contribution: an emphatically crooned (!!) stance on his unapologetic infatuation with the hustle game: "If I don't do nuthin' I'm a ball/ I'm countin' all day like a clock on the wall".

PC were bound to be overshadowed given this early Christmas present of an A-list assist, but even without the centerpiece cameo, "Duffle Bag Boy" stands as a solid "stackin' paper"-obsessed cut. The looming Southern rap production (all heavy-handed drum beats, chopped-up choir moans and dark bells) comes alive with cinematic doom-and-gloom projection, while the two emcees celebrate their wealthy status ("I am on my shit/ I need a pamper on") and discredit wannabe's ("Your boy ain't good enough/ Your style ain't hood enough/ Would've could've should've/ Won't do with us/ True enough") all the while en route to the Gucci store to cop new gear.

Strong beats and cool Circle one-liners aside, you'd be silly not to admit this is all about Wayne and that sick chorus. Global warming, schobal warming. If having Weezy continue to drop such heat means the lifespan of future generations is abbreviated, then so be it. Go'on and keep it stuntin', little crazy rap boy.
