"Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')" is a song by American singer/rapper/producer T-Pain. It was released on February 20, 2007. The song is the first official single from T-Pain's upcoming album Epiphany. The song also features rapper Yung Joc. The song samples Yung Joc's song "Patron". It is noted for having many references to other rap songs.
Lil Scrappy's single Money in the Bank is referenced in the chorus with the line, "I got money in the bank". At the beginning, you hear the line, "Snap yo fingers, do your step, you can do it all by yourself," a lead line from the Lil Jon single, Snap Yo Fingers. Also, the ending of the chorus steals from rapper Lil Boosie when he states ("We in the bed like ooh, ooh, ooh") while doing the dance also seen in the "Zoom" video when Lil Boosie states ("We in the club like Zoom, Zoom, Zoom")
.
Also, during the first verse, T-Pain says "Konvict Muzik Nappy Boy ohh wee", a reference to Akon's album Konvicted and to Akon's popular "Konvict Muzik" line. Lastly, towards the end and in the second verse, the words "Walk it out!" are rapped in a similar voice to how they are in Unk's single Walk It Out. The music video premiered on April 9, 2007 on MTV and features cameos from various artists such as E-40, Gorilla Zoe, Huey, Tay Dizm, Shawnna, J. Lyriq, Kardinal Offishall, and many others.
