THE MARTORIALIST: DB's coming to get you, Barbera!

DB's coming to get you, Barbera!

Ain't gon' lie, I'd somehow completely ignored Don't Worry within the context of I Shine, We All Shine until it received a video a couple of days back. A fairly baffling and unforgivable state of affairs on the part of truly yours there since it feels like a sequel to the haunting Murda, the song which first convinced me to keep an eye on DB back in late 2010 :

DB Tha General - Don't Worry
(From I Shine, We All Shine album; 2012)

Whether its paintballing in da wudz, Master P circa Da Last Don outfits and hiding under parked cars with pistols, or Mr. MacKay from Porridge C.O sweaters, DB always manages to come up with a memorable gimmick for his video clips. What's the significance of the chick dating a dead DB in this, though? A reference to a movie I'm hitherto unaware of or summat?
