"
Bling Bling" is a single by
New Orleans rapper
B.G., released as the first single from his fifth studio album
Chopper City in the Ghetto. It features
Hot Boys and
Big Tymers. The song peaked at #36 on the
Billboard Hot 100, making it B.G.'s most successful single to date. The unedited dirty album version features verses from, in order,
Birdman,
Turk,
Mannie Fresh,
Juvenile, and
B.G..
Lil Wayne does the chorus, but does not have a verse. The clean and radio edited version features a verse from Lil Wayne in place of Turk, and Wayne still does the chorus, however some edits keep the Turk verse and mutes obscenities while the other has Wayne verse with a mix of amended lyrics and muting obsentitys and another edit that backmasking profanity. The song helped give mainstream popularity to the
hip-hop slang term "
bling bling", a term denoting shiny jewelry, flashy, elaborate dress or decadent shows of wealth.
