| Song |
"Mrs. Officer" is the fourth and final single off of Lil Wayne's album Tha Carter III. The song features Bobby Valentino and Kidd Kidd, and is produced by Deezle. The song officially debuted on September 9, 2008 [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] It was ranked the #25 Hip-Hop song of 2008 by MTV.[9]
Music video
The video was shot in Miami with Lil Wayne and Gil Green directing it. It is a continuation of the "A Milli" and "Got Money" videos.
The video was released on Halloween day October 31, 2008. The last verse of Mrs. Officer, with Kidd Kidd and Bobby Valentino, is cut off and replaced with the first verse from "Comfortable", another track off Tha Carter III which features R&B artist Babyface. Lil Wayne plays the lucky victim, being searched by the female cop (Tammy Torres) an hour after leaving the "Got Money" video shoot. In contrast, Bobby Valentino plays an officer, detaining several women. The "Comfortable" segment of the video is the continuation of "Mrs. Officer" where Lil Wayne and the female officer are living together and for most of the segment argue late in the night on an open street. This segment of the song also contains lines referencing Beyonce's "Irreplaceable".
Remix
An unofficial remix of the song was released. It was produced by DJ Chicken and features Pitbull and Trazz along with Lil Wayne and Bobby Valentino. Rick Ross has made a freestyle as well.
Chart performance
"Mrs. Officer" debuted at #86 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the seventh song to chart on the Hot 100 from Tha Carter III. The song has reached #16 so far, making it Wayne's fourth top twenty hit on the Billboard Hot 100 from the album. It has rapidly ascended the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, so far reaching #5, becoming his fourth top ten single on that chart from the album.
