Lil Wayne Assists YG in Paying Tribute To His Late Friend Slim 400 in The Song “Miss My Dawgs”

In a new song, YG teamed up with Lil Wayne once more to pay tribute to his pal ‘Slim 40’ who has passed on.

On Friday, December 9, “Miss My Dawg,” a previously unreleased song, debuted on streaming services. The same day, a companion video was posted on YouTube. The first shot of the video shows four guys gathered around a cornerstone before cutting to a mural of Nipsey Hussle. 

Throwback images of YG and his buddies, notably Slim 400, are intercut with the corner store scene throughout the film as it develops into a struggle with the police, while YG and Lil Wayne take turns rapping in a white-walled studio, at the times standing next to a black hearse.

While YG speaks on his relationship and memories with the lost friends to whom the song is dedicated, Wayne chooses a more irrelevant path, using a variety of dog-related metaphors to talk about his competition in music and his conquests in bed.

This isn’t unfamiliar territory for Wezzy though, as his 2004 album ‘Thacarter’ featured a song called ‘I Miss My Dawgs,’ unlike YG, however, Lil Wayne’s song was about the demise of his relationship with fellow Hot Boys Juvenile, B.G. and Turk, rather than a dedication to a slain friend.

YG made no secret of his administration for Lil Wayne, with whom he’s appeared on past songs such as “Trill, Go girl, I got a question, Buzzin, and Mustard’s Face down,” alongside Big Sean and Boosie Badazz.

Their most popular collaboration, through, is the remix to YG’s 2014 hit “My nigga,” which also featured Nicki Minaj, Meek Mill and Rich Homie Quan.

While filming the video for this latest collaboration, YG showed his appreciation to Wayne by presenting him with red 4Hunnid chain and a Gold. He shared the moment via Instagram on Wednesday, December 7, with a caption: “Appreciate you gang @ liltunechi.”
