Still Tippin'

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Still Tippin was a 2004 hit single from the Swishahouse compilation, The Day Hell Broke Loose 2. It was given to rapper Mike Jones after a feud between him and fellow artist Chamillionaire, resulting in Chamillionaire's departure from Swishahouse. The beat, produced by Salih Williams, features a very slowed-down, hypnotic sound, with the lines "Still tippin' on four fours (eighty-fours), wrapped in four vogues" slowed down and put in for the chorus. Slim Thug talks about Game Cubes in the song. According to CD Now the Album was released in 2003 on Swishahouse's The Day After Hell Broke Loose mixtape, but due to word of mouth, and the infamous XXX version seen on BET: Uncut released in spring of the following year, by late 2004 the song received major radio rotations, and an edited version of the video was released. A remix of this song featured 50 Cent and Young Buck.

The record was first played on local Austin radio station KDHT - Hot 93-3.

[edit] Original Version

The version of Still Tippin' released on Mike Jones's album is actually a remix of the original version featuring Slim Thug, Chamillionaire and Mike Jones. When Chamillionaire and Mike Jones started beefing, Mike took the track, placed it on a different beat and cut Chamillionaire off it. He then got Paul Wall to record a verse and placed it on as a substitute for the cut verse. The original version of the song can be heard as Track 20 on disc 3 of Chamillionaire's Mixtape Messiah

Chamillionaire's verse:
Ay big time/ I'm tryna see the president dead (presidents dead?), that's what I said/ But not the one in the white house man, the one with the green presidents head/ Blue or red I'm still ridin', ladies be tellin' me that I'm sexist/ And I guess it's, cuz I always love the money over dresses/ Always been about them horizontal lines through them S's/ That's a dollar sign, Impala flyin' watch how she undresses/ Don't matter, if she black or white, dark or bright, she ain't actin' right/ I'ma take that pretty broad out to eat, and then leave her there with a appetite/ Niggaz tell me they look up to me, and I know what y'all mean/ cuz I'm balling with tall green stacks taller then Yao Ming/ All King, Koopa the Don, cruise with a gun/ If being rich was a contest, Chamillion you would've won/ I know, but watch the jealousy cuz ya still a get trampled/ If you got whipped in the past then ya still a example/ Treatin' niggaz like Swishahouse flows, nigga what?/ Soon as he start talkin' slow we gon' chop that boy up.
