Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')
"Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')" is a song by American
singer/rapper/producer T-Pain. It was released on February 20, 2007. The
song is the first official single from T-Pain's album Epiphany. The song
also features rapper Yung Joc. It is noted for having many references to
other rap songs. Lil Scrappy's song "Money in the Bank" is referenced in the
chorus with the line, "I got money in the bank". At the beginning, you hear
the line, "Snap yo fingers, do your step, you can do it all by yourself", a
lead line from the Lil Jon song, "Snap Yo Fingers". Also, the ending of the
chorus uses the chorus from "Zoom" when he states ("We in the bed like ooh,
ooh, ooh") while doing the dance also seen in the "Zoom" video when Lil
Boosie states ("We in the club like Zoom, Zoom, Zoom"). Also he states "back
to the crib, show you how I live" refers to 50 Cent's "Just a Lil Bit".
Later on in the song, T-Pain takes a line from the single by Unk, "Walk It
Out" when he says, "...Walk it out." The music video premiered on April 9,
2007 on MTV and features cameos from various artists such as E-40, Gorilla
Zoe, Jay-Z, Huey, Tay Dizm, Shawnna, Jay Lyriq, Kardinal Offishall, and many
others. The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 84 in early
March 2007.[1] On the issue date of May 12, 2007 the single became T-Pain's
first and Yung Joc's second number 1 single on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop
Songs chart. On the same Billboard magazine issue date, "Buy U a Drank (Shawty
Snappin')" became T-Pain's highest charting single on the Billboard Hot 100
to date, surpassing the number 5 peak of "I'm N Luv (Wit A Stripper)". On
the issue date of May 26, 2007, "Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin')" reached
