Song information

Plies was originally the creator of this song, but Snoop and Akon replaced his verses for commercial reasons: Plies was arrested on July 2, 2006 for illegal gun possession while two of his people were charged with attempted murder after a shooting broke out at 238 West Nightclub in Gainesville, Florida. Plies was performing a concert when he was informed that his show would be cut 15 minutes short in order to give time to Lil' Boosie to perform right after. In response, Plies' entourage started to fire at the crowd resulting in the injury of 5 people with non-life threatening wounds. Shortly after, Plies was released after paying $10,000 bail. Thus he could continue to promote but it would give the single bad publicity, and since the version with Snoop already circulated unofficially in the mixtape scene, it was an obvious choice to replace the single and album edit since Snoop Dogg was a name already well received as opposed to that of an up-and-coming and controversial artist. Akon and Snoop Dogg's management also agreed to participate on each other's forthcoming albums. Another track, "Boss' Life", is featured on Tha Blue Carpet Treatment as well as "I Wanna Fuck You" as it achieved unexpected sudden success, reaching the 17th spot on the Billboard Hot 100 without a promotional video or physical CD release, and then topping the chart for two consecutive weeks.

In an interview with Akon on Hot 97 he said that the song was sent for Trick Daddy but somehow ended up in the hands of Plies. Plies was not the originator of the song and should have never recorded to that beat in the first place.

Song meaning

When this song was under the original name of "I Wanna Love U", the title was self-explanatory; though interestingly, the song has a similar theme to T-Pain's hit "I'm N Luv (Wit A Stripper)". The song centers around the song's character who is in a strip bar and notices a particular stripper doing her routine. They notice each other and strong feelings of wanting to engage in sex (on behalf of the song's character) arise. This is evident in the song's chorus line, which is "I wanna love you". T Pain is a hip-hop artist whose debut single was released in August 2005. ... Im N Luv (Wit A Stripper) is a single performed by American R&B artist T-Pain. ... The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view. ... Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection or profound oneness. ...

The song's name and topic garnered controversy, hence the name change (though the name is not changed for Snoop Dogg's album). The lyrics and the overall topic remains the same, only slightly altered so that it allows for the song to be played on radio/television, reaching a wider and younger audience. Words like "p***y" and "ni**a(s)" were part of the lyrics, which were censored in the clean version (usually by reversing the words instead of blanking them out, or playing a key over the words).

In addition, "...up on that pole" is changed to "...up on the floor".
