Young Dolph 100 Shots

The news of Young Dolph’s death is hard to digest. It came both suddenly and unexpectedly, quickly flitting from unsubstantiated rumours to full-on confirmed reports complete with photos and eyewitnesses’ live video streams. In that in-between time, before the rumours became a verified report, we frantically reached out to Dolph’s camp, perhaps attempting to placate ourselves with wishful queries of this rumour-cannot-be-true???

This is a question I’ve found myself repeating to myself (and others) over the past hour or so. The man was a king to Memphis, and yet, he didn’t just sit on his pedestal and awash himself in praise. He was an active member of his community, right up to the moment he was shot and killed. Prior to purchasing some of his favourite local cookies, he had been working on a turkey giveaway all around Memphis with the help of his Paper Route EMPIRE artists, where they were slated to give away over 200 turkeys a day. This isn’t something he advertised across his IG, indeed, Dolph didn’t exactly “advertise” much of anything; he didn’t need to. Since his heyday alongside Gucci Mane, he’s steadily worked to establish his own star power and he did so masterfully– through sheer hard work and consistency, amassing a devoted following in the process. This allowed Dolph to do even more good, both in the industry and in his neighbourhood. Dolph would go on to specifically sign local Memphis rappers to his imprint, not only bolstering his community but cultivating these new signees with the same type of business-savvy that allowed Dolph to turn down a $22 million major-label offer in order to remain independent.

I’m sure we will delve more deeply into Dolph’s impact at a later date, but for now, we just want to take a moment to truly appreciate all the music Dolph gifted us while he was here. The rapper was prolific, and there is a lot of music worth revisiting, including 2020’s Rich Slave, itself proving how Dolph continued to level up as a rapper (that album is unskippable).

However, many have been returning to 2017’s Bulletproof due to its significance — the album’s title was in response to a failed attempt on his life that occurred in February of that same year. As we reported at the time, Dolph was shot at over 100 times and walked away without a scratch, thanks to bulletproof panels in his car. This is not only alluded to in the album’s title but in the album’s opening record, “100 Shots.”

Like much of Dolph’s music, the record is a hard-hitting trap banger, fueled by tales of Dolph’s treacherous street life. We were, and still are, able to collectively turn up to the song, triumphant in the face of the perpetrator’s seemingly-laughable failure: “how you miss 100 shots?” Dolph questions.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
It’s Dolph
Hey, bring me some Backwoods up outta there, homie, and a cup of ice
And some rubber bands up outta there too, homie
Yeah
It’s 3 PM, eighty degrees outside
I’m in somethin’ that go real fast, sittin’ outside the corner store
Six-figure car ain’t got no business in this area

[Verse 1]
If it ain’t one thing, it’s a motherfuckin’ ‘nother (Goddamn)
We trapped together, then that’s my motherfuckin’ brother (That’s my dog)
I pay her bills and buy her designer, but I don’t love her (Ayy, what you need, lil’ mama?)
She just play her part when it’s time to smuggle (Ayy, you ready?)
I pull up, pick up that bag, and burn rubber (Skrrt)
I got a sweet tooth, but I stay away from suckers (For real, though)
Nobu in Malibu was my last supper (We eatin’ good)
I fucked her in rush-hour traffic, Chris Tucker (Hah)
Everybody screamin’, “Gang, gang, gang” (Gang)
Them folks come and get you, you gon’ tell on the whole gang (Gang)
She said can she fuck me with my diamond chain?
If I ain’t in the bank, then I’m on the plane (Hey)
‘Bout to go get some money or go spend some money (Yeah)
They stopped me in the airport, had too many Benjis on me (Franklins)
They don’t want you to live, they don’t want you to ball
Them pussies smile in your face, yeah, then they pray for you to fall, hey
Young nigga stay focused (Yeah)
But I really wanna crash (Damn)
Think about where you at (Okay)
Then think about your past (You right)
Yeah, I really came from shit (Yeah)
But I won’t change for shit (Nah)
My bitch say I’m stuck in my ways (Yeah)
My wrist say I been getting paid (Yeah)

[Chorus]
A hundred shots (A hundred shots), a hundred shots (A hundred shots)
Me and my niggas pull up in a hundred drops (Skrrt)
My role model used to get a hundred blocks (Hey, hey)
Street niggas in a tuxedo, we the mob (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
She looked at my watch too long, now she see stars (Blaow, blaow)
I got so high last night, I did a show on Mars (Woo)
Your bitch ate my dick, I caught her on them bars (Xanax)
My pinky ring extra large (Yeah)
Foreigns all in the garage (Woah)
Remember my first ménage (Yeah)
Yeah, Tori and Brittany (Yup)
I’m shoppin’ for diamonds at Tiffany’s (Tiffany’s)
Nah, I don’t got no sympathy (Nah)
She blew my whistle like a referee (Wet)
Broke Black nigga, remember me? (Hey)
Until I found out that recipe (Woo)
Started gettin’ ’bout ten a week (Ten)
Finger on the trigger when I sleep (Yup)
Yeah, nigga, I rather you than me (Yup)
Backseat, smokin’ good weed (Gelato)

[Chorus]
A hundred shots (A hundred shots), a hundred shots (A hundred shots)
How the fuck you miss a whole hundred shots?

[Verse 3]
You not welcome at my trap if you don’t shop (Ayy, get out, bro)
Before you come through that back door, you better knock (Ayy, get the door)
They been waitin’ on this gangster shit to drop (Bulletproof)
Even them fuck niggas that wish I could be stopped (Hey, hey)
How many dicks you sucked to get that couple million? (Hahaha)
Self-made millionaire, oh, what a feeling (Yeah, yeah)
My niggas came from dealin’ (Ayy)
Fuck nigga, get out your feelings (Ayy)
Your bitch gave me sexual healin’ (Woo)
Guess who just walked in the buildin’? (It’s Dolph)
Came out with six bitches (What?)
My uncle said that’s pimpin’ (Church)
My diamonds always hittin’ (Uh)
You lookin’ for your bitch, she with me, nigga, she ain’t missin’ (Nah)
I told you, fuck nigga, stay out my way, but you didn’t listen (Stupid-ass niggas)
Big rocks (Hey, hey), in my watch (In my watch)
And we put extensions in all of the Glocks (Haha)

[Chorus]
A hundred shots (Hundred shots), a hundred shots (A hundred shots)
How the fuck you miss a whole hundred shots?

[Outro]
Yeah
It’s Dolph
How the fuck you miss a whole hundred shots?
Hey, hey
