Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop” Should’ve Been For Dem Franchize Boyz

Dem Franchize Boyz have been instrumental in getting Southern hip-hop to the place it’s at the moment. The contributions of foursome of Parlae, Pimpin, Jizzal Man, and Buddie are sturdy, to place it merely. “Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It,” “Turn Heads,” and “I Think They Like Me,” are the cream of the crop of their discography.

However, whereas they’ve been profitable, the Georgia-based posse missed out on what’s now one of many greatest songs ever within the style. Revealing to Hip-Hop Wired, Parlae and Pimpin’ recall how Lil Wayne‘s “Lollipop” slipped via their arms.

Parlae begins the story saying, “Franchize Boyz was Static Major’s favourite group; he needed to do music with us. So he got here down for a weekend, he hyperlinks up with Kadife. Kadife calls me and says, ‘Aye Lae, I bought Static on the town, we on the studio, come on we bought a music for you.'” However, Parlae could not be bothered at the moment. “I used to be like, ‘Ay man, I’m not about to go away the place I’m at proper now, I’ll come to the studio in a while.'”

However, it would not simply fall on him; Pimpin’ says he is accountable too. “I used to be within the membership, however we was speculated to go to the studio after the membership. They had already been on me, saying, ‘Yo a*s all the time doing this and doing that, you could come to the studio. I’m simply gonna put it like this, I f*cked up,” he admits whereas smiling.

Parlae reveals that in that very same session with Kadife and Static Major, Lil Wayne pulled up. Unfortunately, for Dem Franchize Boyz that was all she wrote from there.

Given their hitmaking skill, the group definitely might have made “Lollipop” huge. But that honor belongs to Weezy F. Baby, and it is in a tie for his most profitable single ever. The Jim Jonsin-produced membership banger has been licensed diamond by the RIAA as of December 14, 2022. That means it has bought 10 million models within the U.S.

While it’s his first report of that caliber, “Love Me” that includes Drake and Future adopted practically two full years later. It joined the diamond membership in September 2024. DJ Khaled‘s “I’m The One” is also on this class for Wayne, however by way of songs the place he is the lead artist, these are the one two.
