Mr. Me Too

"Mr. Me Too" is a song by American Hip hop duo Clipse serving the first single leading up to their second studio album Hell Hath No Fury. It also features vocals from producer and song writer Pharrell Williams. The song features all the artists talking about luxuries and the highs provided by being a standout artist, and then clowning other people who tend to copy or imitate them. It is considered by many to be diss track on Lil Wayne, after the latter graced the cover of Vibe magazine with A Bathing Ape hoodie, a brand which was at that time popularized by Clipse.

Song information

On MTV, Pusha T explained the song's meaning: "It's the total disruption of radio. There's nothing on radio that will even be close to it. It just addresses Mr. Me Toos. Mr. Me Too is the person that sits there and examines your style and takes a piece of it. Also taken from the stage name Justin Meetoo. It addresses the competitive dude on the street who, when you get this or that they're like, 'Me too.'" He also said that the track also touches on some of what they went through with their label: "Briefly, 'cause we don't dwell."

The song also contains a reference to record label Jive, where Pusha T apologizes for the constant album delays ("These are the days of our lives / And I'm sorry to the fans but those crackers weren't playin' fair at Jive.") There was a W.V. boy working alongside them.

In the music video, Re-Up Gang, along with Gillie Da Kid and Bump J, of Major Figgas make a cameo.
