In 1998, my friend’s older brother brought this song over to a party on a CD-R burned using Nero. It was the only song on the disc and we played it on loop for 12 hours. Best party of my life, man.
I got my 10 year old daughter liking this song. She said to me that we had good taste in music. I'm 38 and she's right, we did have good taste and the best music back in the 90's and early 2000's
Sunday 10:47 am, listing to baller no doubt , played this first time coming out.L. A . Headed deep into Alabama wit that C.C. Gary ghost rollin wit lil, Tory, got to be a better way .
I bought Lil Troy's album Sittin' Fat Down South back in 1999 and there was a slip of paper that said if you send a snail mail fan request to Short Stop Records Lil' Troy himself would send back a signed autographed postcard. Sure enough he did. Very fuckin proud of it and I have it framed and hanging on my wall 22 years later. Much love, Lil' Troy! Peace✌
Man I said this on another video I miss the South having our own sound The West Coast having their own sound The East Coast having their own sound Midwest having their own sound The Caribbean did their own thing Screw music was its own thing, Bounce music (another sub-genre from the South) did its own thing Now you got Canadian rappers biting bounce rapping like a Jamaican lol

Wow. I heard this song for the first time today. At first, I thought it sounded good, I like the vocals, but not super. After listening to it for 3 minutes I got goosebumps. It's a masterpiece.

As a New Yorker, do you link this song to lil Troy or fat pat? Because lil Troy was a nobody and honestly as a houstonian I have no clue who he is. Fat pat and yungstar are the keys to this song. And HAWK at the end. It just bothers me that lil Troy gets the credit when he was a nothing and the Houston legends get no respect from this song because they aren’t the titled artist.
All these years and I never knew he sampled Lil Red Corvette until the Willie D interview. And Prince actually liked it and cleared the sample. Another reason why Prince is a GOAT #RIP
it has aged well... at the time I was a pretty hardcore backpacker in high school so I thought this was mediocre to decent mainstream stuff...if only I knew then how bad mainstream rap woukd get... I also hated 3-6 Mafia at the time, but they are scholars and rap poets compared to Wayne. This is a good song now that I am not so snobby.

Everytime I hear that line "I hit the highway, making money the fly way". Just reminds me of doing delivery driving for pizza parlors. That tip money is some crazy ass shit. It's insane how much money you can make.
I'm an older Dominos driver (30) and I can vouch... work it full-time, closing shifts as much as possible (PM and late-night rush within those 8-9 hours) and find one in a good area with non-shitty hotels = You can make 35-45k easy. Taking home $100 - 150 in cash tips after every close and that's not counting what you're getting on your paycheck for that day (around 90 bucks). And it's chill as hell if you have a smart/good GM at that particular store. Pretty shitty job if your GM is incompetent. Oh and all the free Dominos food you can handle (cut my monthly grocery bill in half). Didn't expect this comment on this song so I had to reply!
The south killed it with this joint, absolutely crushed it. New York and LA will always do big things for Hip Hop. But Li’l Troy and them struck Hip Hop gold. A timeless and literal classic. “Wanna be a Baller” is the best, it has been for decades now and it can stay right at the top. I don’t see it being beat.
Lol I remember when I misheard the lyrics as "Wanna be a Baller, Shawn Call her, 20-Inch Legs, Only a Dolla, Caller get a lazy night, Switched the wrong tire got by ice"
Man I was 17 years old when this song came out. Used to base the hell out of this song when I went to Sam Rayburn high school in Pasadena class of 99. I just saw him on the new station this week with Isaiah Carrie and he still banking on the song Way to go man!

If you were alive when the very first set of 22” wheels hit the streets, you know every lyric to this song.
You my people
Fat Pat (R.I.P), Big Hawk (R.I.P), Big-T (R.I.P), Lil Will (R.I.P)
I will forever play this song in my ride.
Was never really into rap, but this song goes hard AF. You can't NOT like this song.
My buddy said the same thing until he found his love for Houston rap back in highschool. A lot of heavy spitters and the BEATS….shiiii
Who asked ?
It also transcends racial lines

Me and my boy Ty used to jam this joint all the time. Rest easy bro. Miss you kid. 1990-2010
Damn... I can't believe it's many of us watching in 2017. So we really miss hip hop huh?
The Spiritual Mafia yup
I was born in the 00's but still love REAL rap
#Truth u ain't neva lied
The Spiritual Mafia
We miss REAL music haha
The Spiritual Mafia. Its the real shit, nuthin like it!!
There is no other sound like that H-Town sound
👍👍👍
What bout that old 3 6 mafia Memphis sound? That shit was fire as well
Justin Sims LOL Don't get it twisted, I was on 3-6 hard too, back when they were all together. Memphis definitely has a unique sound all of its own
Sounds like west

Gen X is the greatest generation for black folk

This is a classic. I haven’t forgotten this for 24 years and it still slaps!
Major facts.
Brings back good memories!!😊
takes me right back to college parties in 99
"I hit the highway, Making money the fly way, But there's gotta be a better way!"
That last line hits you much harder as an adult
Everytime I hear that line "I hit the highway, making money the fly way". Just reminds me of doing delivery driving for pizza parlors. That tip money is some crazy ass shit. It's insane how much money you can make.
@ ❤ Amen for tips! I will always tip people.

I'm an older Dominos driver (30) and I can vouch... work it full-time, closing shifts as much as possible (PM and late-night rush within those 8-9 hours) and find one in a good area with non-shitty hotels = You can make 35-45k easy. Taking home $100 - 150 in cash tips after every close and that's not counting what you're getting on your paycheck for that day (around 90 bucks). And it's chill as hell if you have a smart/good GM at that particular store. Pretty shitty job if your GM is incompetent.
Oh and all the free Dominos food you can handle (cut my monthly grocery bill in half). Didn't expect this comment on this song so I had to reply!
Plus if cash tips then no tax
Or rolling up on a hit and collecting dues at the end if the night.
From 95 -99,was my Era that time and music was the best time of my life, coming from Waco, TX,
The south killed it with this joint, absolutely crushed it. New York and LA will always do big things for Hip Hop. But Li’l Troy and them struck Hip Hop gold. A timeless and literal classic. “Wanna be a Baller” is the best, it has been for decades now and it can stay right at the top. I don’t see it being beat.
CRUSH THEM AL
NY & LA pales in comparison to the south. Biggie stole his flow and sound from the south
Jaja you funny LA has always been the on top of rap game bettee recognize
Houston has so many underrated classics lol labels jus always stayed in the city
Something so nostalgic about this song. The beat, melody, vocals. Brings me back to better days.
My pops anthem, he had a 20,000 $ sound system in a 8,000 $ car dedicated for this song
Better days and a better way a better way yeaaaaaah
It really does bring back memories
man what a time it was for hip-hop and rap from the 80-90's music today is garbage
Lol I remember when I misheard the lyrics as "Wanna be a Baller, Shawn Call her, 20-Inch Legs, Only a Dolla, Caller get a lazy night, Switched the wrong tire got by ice"
😂😂😂 this is beautiful.
Who NOT here from 2k19? You tha real playas
Josh Natali I heard this song when it came oit

I met these guys in the midland Odessa airport 98/99. They were cool dudes. We were on the same flight to Denver where I was going to the infamous Raiders/Bronco MNF snowball game. -10 degrees and snowing. 65 car pile up 🆙 n I70.
