Playaz Circle featuring Lil’ Wayne “Big Dog”
On “Big Dog”, Southern rap duo Playaz Circle once again employ Lil’ Wayne for hook duties, and, just like last time, they’re once again basically left an after thought on their own record. Sigh.
Atop mesmerizing production accented by electric guitar flickers and heavily glazed in dreamy, slo-mo synths and organs, group mates Tity Boi and Dolla Boy do do a decent job serving semi-witty rhymes revolving around their clothes and rides (“Vehicular homicide/ Boy you know my car kill/ Orange and Black Chevy/ Now I’m riding ‘Garfield’”); but sadly, in the end it wouldn’t of mattered if they had shown up or not, since it’s Wayne’s cameo that most will be checking for, and as expected, Weezy makes the track his own with an Auto-Tune-crooned chorus about the pleasures of being a rap star (“I say money ain’t a thang to a bit dog/ Ain’t got nothin’ but some cash in my big paws…”) that wins without even having the benefit of one of his signature clever lyric turns.
PC may have a chance at getting beyond their “one hit wonder” status with this one, but does it even matter in the grand scheme of things if it’s mostly Lil’ Wayne’s presence (and some hot production) that really make either one worthwhile?
