P-Lo links with OG E-40 for “Put Me On Somethin’.” Directed by Pmac.
“This video is inspired by going to the DMV and being bored completely out of your mind. It represents a lot of double meanings. E-40 teaching me the game, but is also my driving instructor. The first driving instructor, he wasn’t liking me based on my appearance and energy, not knowing I was well-equipped to drive, but that’s a lot of people’s first impressions of me—just because you look a certain way, judging a book by a cover. “Put Me on Somethin’” also serves as a call to give rappers from the Bay Area more attention. After all, they are some of hip-hop’s foremost game-givers and purveyors of awesome music. The song itself is a real statement song. When Bay Area gives so much style and culture to the game and people ignore or disregard it. We’re always putting people onto game. The game needs to give back also. They need me put me on something. I can’t keep putting you on, y’all gotta give me something too. I got to hang out with E-40, which is always a treat. We were just talking about different scenarios and how he’s stayed in the game for as long as he has. How he didn’t let his pride get in the way of his growing and moving forward. My plans for this year is to inspire and touch as many people as I can through my music and show the world what I’m about. I feel like I’m stepping into my own, and I feel like I am what this project represents and what it sounds like, I’m a diverse individual from the Bay Area and i’m going to bring that every time you hear something from me.”
