Earlier this week, we heard that former NFL running back Larry Johnson has been working as a DJ for strip club Tootsie’s Cabaret. This had us thinking, given Johnson's tumultous past in his football career and personal life, could there a Tupac-esque message in his song choices? Sure, LJ is doing his thing on the ones and twos, but is there a deep-rooted confession to his one of many assault charges and supposed domestic violence troubles? We take a look in Larry Johnson's Subliminal Strip Club Playlist.

"I Luv Dem Strippers," 2 Chainz f/ Nicki Minaj
Johnson could probably be a DJ anywhere in the world, but he's spinning at a strip club. Hopefully they appreciate that.
"Practice," Drake
Practicing for a game on Sunday < Women practicing in front of their mirror. DUH! That's why he's in the strip club and not on the field anymore.
"Tip Drill," Nelly
Johnson has moved on from conditioning and strength drills to a life reminiscent of Nelly's "Tip Drill." You can't be mad at him for that. By the way, we're showing you a screenshot of the music video because we value our job and wouldn't be able to make as smooth of a transition from one occupation to another, like LJ. So, yeah, you Google that shit.
"Lose My Mind," Young Jeezy f/ Plies
Johnson is about that "12:45, 'bout that time...Can't spell sober, lose my mind" life. Things can be fine, everybody's fine and then, the next thing you know, LJ spiting some of his drink in your face. True story.
"Beat It Up," Gucci Mane f/ Trey Songz
Skrippers may love this song, but Larry Johnson is also sending out warning shots to anyone who tries to start trouble with him. You start something, there may be another assault and battery charge in LJ's future. He's already got two of those...that we know about.
"Dreams & Nightmares (Intro)," Meek Mill
After one of the biggest fall-offs in NFL history, Larry Johnson would want to use part of his set to reflect on the highs and lows while the women of Tootsie's Cabaret drops it low. Hey, it's the perfect pick-me-up.
"I'm N Luv (With a Stripper)," T-Pain
When there are girls everywhere putting in 110 percent to make you fall in love with them in a matter of minutes, you gotta believe that LJ is going to catch feelings at some point. It's just...Destiny...as in, the name of one of the strippers.
"Clap," Waka Flocka Flame
In 2003, Larry Johnson was charged with aggravated assault and misdemeanor battery after allegedly brandishing a gun during a heated argument with his former girlfriend. So, even though the song is referring to clapping as, well, if you don't know, Urban Dictionary it, Johnson isn't afraid to at least clap someone who gets out of hand.
"She Will," Lil Wayne f/ Drake
As we all know, groupies love athletes. So, now that Larry Johnson has moved onto greener pastures, what's going to change about his likelihood of getting with some strippers here and there? He likes the way Candy moves. Hmm, maybe she won't throw it at a former NFL player, but then again, maybe she will. And maybe this song can help his cause.
