'I Wanna Love You' (featuring Snoop Dogg) (Dirty) 'I Wanna Love You' (featuring Snoop Dogg) (Clean) Track listing I Wanna Love You - United States vinyl single Their version of the song is written from the perspective of the pole dancer, who is described as a victim of childhood sexual abuse and her own drug addiction (and implicitly, of all the men who are only interested in her as a sexual object). The song was covered in 2007 by CocoRosie. Samples of the Roland TR-808 drum machine provide the song's bass drum, clap and hi-hat sounds. To make it up, Akon recorded and produced the single, 'Hypnotized' for Plies, being featured on it also. It was said that Plies was not the originator of the song and should have never recorded to that beat in the first place. 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. Akon and Snoop Dogg's management also agreed to participate on each other's forthcoming albums. Since the version with Snoop Dogg already circulated unofficially in the mixtape scene, Akon replaced the single and album edit since Snoop Dogg was already a well-received name, as opposed to that of an up-and-coming, controversial artist.
Akon wished to continue to promote his song, but remained worried that the recent incident involving Plies would reflect poorly on his label. Shortly after, Plies was released after paying $50,000 bail. In response, Plies' entourage started to fire at the crowd, resulting in the injury of five people with non-life-threatening wounds.
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. Plies was arrested on Jfor 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. That ’I Wanna Love You’ record was a big record for him, and I take my hat off to him and Snoop and congratulate them.Rapper Plies was originally the performer on this song, but Akon replaced his verses with those of Snoop Dogg's for commercial reasons.
had the luxury of collaborating on my album. In no way is there a problem amongst me and another party. Plies recovered from the coup after he was replaced and the song became a major hit, and worked with Akon on his single “Hypnotized.” He told MTV: The song became the commercial success he’d hoped for, becoming his first #1 Billboard Hot 100 hit (and Snoop’s second). Thirty minutes later, his verses was done. Snoop is like everybody’s uncle, I mean literally, you know what I mean? That record was one of the funnest that I’ve ever recorded…I get into the studio and I had to find my way, you know what I mean? It was smokey…He got in the booth, lit up a joint. Akon was skirting bad publicity when he decided to tap Snoop Dogg for the record instead. Originally, Snoop’s verses were done by Florida rapper Plies, but Plies had just been arrested for an incident at one of his concerts (his entourage fired shots into the crowd upon hearing that his set would be cut short by 15 minutes). This is the radio-friendly version of Akon’s “I Wanna Fuck You” featuring veteran Cali rapper Snoop Dogg.
