Birdman – Dark Shades (Feat Lil Wayne & Mack Maine) [Music Video] [HD]

Tue, May 22, 2012 by Danny M

Here is the official music video for Birdman‘s “Dark Shades” single featuring Lil Wayne and Mack Maine. The song, which was produced by Mr. Beatz, will appear on Baby‘s forthcoming Bigga Than Life album, due out in the summer. Colin Tilley directed the visual and YMCMB’s DJ Khaled, Lil Twist and Busta Rhymes make cameos.

You may recognize the chorus from Weezy‘s “Bill Gates” record… but his verse was crazy!

    @ DanYMCMB4ever

    The chorus is Wayne’s old verse but his verse on this song is what he killed. also, his swagger and just appearance on this song was just dope. Wayne killed this entire song regardless if he used lyrics from “Bill Gates”. His verse was craze and everyone else agrees!

    I upload an uncensored version, the quality is not the best, but it’s better than the censored version. At least, you can listen to the real song, the real lyrics, the real explicit version, whithout the fucking protection. Enjoy and leave comments!

  71. On May 22, 2012 at 10:00 pm seth gecko responded with...

    wayne’s verse had energy but nothing memorable lyrically for me. I have heard him 100 times using all of these lines with little tweaks. Gotta say that Bill Gates verse sounds badass as a hook. But that entire song was pure charisma

  72. On May 22, 2012 at 10:03 pm Dillon responded with...

    @Lol your stupid ass says you heard this verse before, prove to me where because this verse is soooo fucken Dope I’m sure all of us would be saying we hear it before. There is only one line from that verse we heard before and that the last one so Shut The Fuck Up you Idiot!

    isnt this Birdmans song? why people saying he saves his lyrics for his own? this is a feature and its dope, Wayne just done a Nicki Minaj and “shitted on ‘em”
    cant wait for IANAHB2!
    and does anyone know or does Danny know if Wayne will ever release the verse he done on Light Up officialy? the one he recorded in Rikers, wonder if it’ll be on that devoL album?

    • On May 23, 2012 at 2:04 am Danny M responded with...

      If Wayne recorded that verse again in the studio, it would ruin the point of the verse.

  78. On May 23, 2012 at 12:56 am a-cornnn responded with...

    why can’t come up with new material, he’s just finding new ways to say old shit, the whole chorus, the shit he said about the grass greener in his garden, bein meaner than the warden, if you scared go see a deacon, party time excellent waynes world, all shit i’ve heard before

    This song is the shiiiiit. I don’t get it though everyone is like give me more wayne songs then when a new one comes out no matter if one line gets repeated you act like a girl and freak out like ohhmygoddd really like he said that before like wow and cry about it haha stfu.
