This is one of those bring-out-the-heavyweights-and-make-a-summer-hit songs, or "The G Mix" of Birdman's "Always Strapped," according to the intro. It just seems like hype for a message that's definitely not peace and love, but I still love Lil' Wayne and I dig Rick Ross's style. He wears lots of cool glasses and he's got an amulet that's a portrait of himself. Here he manages to make a baseball cap look dressy and Young Jeezy is bringing back the fat gold chains. Maybe now the ladies need to start wearing dolphins again. Remix Part 1 is more rhythmic and minimalist, which seems more contemporary, in a good way. Plus the video features lots of babes in catsuits. But Lil' Wayne's pants are pulled up.
