The Hot Boys were originally based loosely on a group of hustlers and gangsters that ran uptown New Orleans in the late 80's and early 90's. The original Hot Boys were Terrence "Gangsta" Williams (Brother of Cash Money CEO Bryan "Birdman" Williams) Sterling, Mosquito, and Dooney. The only surviving Hot Boy is Gangsta, who is currently serving three life sentences in Ohio. Bryan "Birdman" Williams has always maintained a close relationship with the remaining Hot Boy, which has fueled rumors that the Cash Money CEO may be involved in illegal activities, including the 1996 murder of Cash Money rapper Yella Boy of U.N.L.V.. The later Hot Boys group on Cash Money took this name, but had no connection with this earlier group.
Throughout the year of 2001, there was a lot of controversy surrounding legal issues within members of the group. Juvenile, B.G., and Turk felt like they weren't getting their "fair share" in their money from Baby and Slim, the owners of Cash Money Records. This led to the three departing from Cash Money Records in 2002. After some time away from the label, they resigned in 2003 and the group released their third and to date last album, titled Let 'Em Burn. Following this album more issues with the label ensued, and the three again left Cash Money. From then until 2010, Lil Wayne was the only former Hot Boys member still on Cash Money. However, this changed in 2010 when B.G. & Turk resigned with the label.
In 2007, B.G. and Lil Wayne announced that the Hot Boys would reunite for another album in 2010.[4] To further the announcement, on a televised interview promoting Tha Carter III, Lil Wayne stated to the public, "this was going to happen, and not just a rumor, but that some things needed to be taken care of before the album is a possibility". This led to a surprise track on a Lil Wayne mixtape with the Hot Boys and Mannie Fresh called "Money All Around Me" which also promoted their reunion. On B.G.'s album Too Hood to Be Hollywood, Ya Heard Me with B.G., Juvenile, and Trey Songz debuted as a possible single for their upcoming album.The Hot Boys officially reunited on stage at a concert.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bring Noise, I got something on my shoulder - that bitch is so heavy
AK-47 attached ta a Mac-11, double clipped taped up
Ready ta spray something, 175 shots ta clear the block
I've ride through your neighborhood, day and night
Store closed people inside, ya hood on strike
I'm looking, for ya - high and low, nigga I'm searchin'
11 deep in the (2000) new Ford Excursion
Bell - Tyriq and Fat - Kay - Powder and Cleve
Once you found you get down, burn torchin' and beat
That's the treatment you get from a nigga in C.M.B.
I'm the B.G. but you can call me - Shot 'em up shorty
I'll get mad and try ta flush your head down the toirlet
Baby gave me the game - when this niggaz that's bitch made
Gimme my props, call it Ace a Ace a spade of spades nigga
[Juvenile]
Boss you wouldn't believe what happend ta me
Last night I got hit for a package of ki's
Who was it? Man I'ont know some cats
They kicked in my doo' shot my wife in the back
And you think them mothafuckers woulda left it at that
They beat me in my head until I said where it's at
Okay we go out in the streets and we get the word
We hit up anybody that we think selling them birds
Them fuckin moolignanis don't want no war'
C4 them down, let 'em burn in the car
Me not worried about no witness
Cuz them won't see, anything linkin' up ta me
Boss, come ta find out it was Red and Black
Them connivin' motherfuckers gatta pay for that
I tell you what I gonna do, burn them cock roaches
And payment for the cops in case they wanna approach us
[Baby]

My brother K.C. told me how ta kill these niggaz
While Troy had me in alleys dealin' with digits
Aiy, life is real my nigga, me and Lac pa' was killed my nigga
It ain't nothing keep it real my nigga
While my homies carve life in the field my nigga
Ski' then family - thrill deal niggaz

And got no dope, weed or fetti plus I'm hurt and hungry
All I got is this beretta with 2 murders on it

Hat over my eyes, you can't see my frustation
Looking at niggaz paper chasin' with mean faces

Quick ta steal ya, I'm real I ain't fake
Leave ya ass a murder scene in the middle of yellow tape
Put a hole in ya thinkin' cap, won't be thinkin no mo'

Me and my nigga Rat quick ta run up in ya house
Fuck it, I goes out cuz it's in me my nigga
When it's a coke drought - I tote a semi my nigga
The lyrics to Hot Boy$'s song Introduction are typical of gangsta rap music, with aggressive and violent themes.

The verses showcase each member's personal story and involvement in the street life of New Orleans, from selling drugs to committing acts of violence. B.G.'s verse focuses on his willingness to use guns to enforce his authority, and his search for his enemies. Juvenile's verse tells the story of a robbery gone wrong, leading to revenge and the violent murder of his opponents. Baby's verse shows his experience in dealing with drugs and his commitment to taking care of his family. Lil' Wayne's verse speaks to his frustration with his financial situation and the temptation to turn to violence to make a change.
