2008 baby and grew up with dmx lil boosie lil snupe and mobb deep and all the og’s and goodie’s baby i get made fun of foe it but i step and step baby!!❤️‼️
@@URProductions Congratulations🎉🎈🎊🍾 I listen to music going all the way back to the 1930s. 😂 So what. Has nothing to do with the ops point, which is valid.
By far one of the most elevated works of the 21st century. The thesis of this piece is these two statements: 1) I am hot because I am fly 2) You ain't because you not* *notice how he doesn't specify if you ain't (fly) because you ain't (hot) or you ain't (hot) because you ain't (fly). I think he's implying that flyness implies hotness and vice-versa, therefore the statement (hot)' (fly)' is a tautology. This of course immediately raises several philosophical questions. -If someone is fly and no one is around to see it, are they still hot? -Is this why penguins cannot fly, because they are not hot enough? If we became hotter, could we naturally develop the power of flight? -How does one acquire flyness? Are they born with it? Is Mims saying that the categorization of people as "hot" or "not hot" is some form of new-age discrimination? I am a mere mortal and will of course never understand the complexities of Mims' mind because he is on a higher plane of enlightenment than I. I can only marvel at the ingenuity of the absolute masterpiece of the ages. Well done, sir. Shakespeare would have put his pen down and never wrote again.
Don't underrate this hit. 17 years later, it remains a huge hit. When this hit was released back then, it should remind us that it came out in the era when crunk music was on the rise. It is still a classic 🔥🔥🔥
East Coast Sample: Mobb Deep's "Shook Ones Part II" Midwest Sample: Kanye West's "Jesus Walks" West Coast: E-40's "Tell Me When to Go", Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's "Nuthin' But a "G" Thang"
" Niggas say that we lost it so imma bring it back " and shook ones starts in the background. " Compton to Hollywood as soon as i hit la, I'm in the low low i do it the cali way " and nothing but a g thang starts in the background. + the low ride sounds. " But in the mid West they love to take it slow " and the beat slows. I didn't notice these things as a kid but this guy is a genius.
Damn right.. There's an occasional decent song, I think 1 mainstream song was decent and it wasn't even that mainstream compared to these songs, That was Timber, I actually enjoy that song, rest is trash, I listen to more EDM, and EURO dance stuff, as it's actually got talent and it's not a brainwash portrait of "ass, money and tits"
this just popped into my head for no reason for the first time in probably 8 years. i had to look it up because it's been so long that i started doubting whether or not it was real lol
Listening and living through the 2000s and as a teen and having a playlist like this has made me the person that previous generations and future cannot experience. Yesssss
CK TV lmfao, your ass probably don't even listen to the lyrics if you say Drake can't rap. Like Jay Z said, Yall niggas don't listen to the lyrics you just skim through it.
One of the best CONSTRUCTS of a beat. If you take this beat as a loop and cook some more snares, a fresh set of Hi hats and a pumping bass line, like DP's Hiphop then it's a phat one
Vintage example on how a producer can literally carry the whole song.I remember how hooked I was on this back in the day but never actually listened to the lyrics lol. decent hook though.
u serious bro? "This is why I'm hot...I don't gotta rap, I could sell a mill sayin' nothing on the track" mims GOES IN on this joint...don't get it twisted boi
I love this song! This played A LOT on the radio when I was in middle school but I completely forgot about this song until last night when I watched the movie “Due Date”.
"You ain't, cause you not" is such a bad lyric that I was wondering if I was remembering the song incorrectly. Nope! It was exactly how I remembered it, and I love it!
i'll still never forget when i sang this in 3rd grade, when everyone was singing patriotic songs and they wanted us to sing something else besides patriotic songs, so i got up and sang this and everyone in the class laughed haha 😁🤭😂😄😅😃
This came out 16 years ago.... When we had the best music! lil Wayne was on his way to becoming the greatest of all time. Gah hip hop/ rap has really gone down hill since then.
Not once does he ever explain why he’s hot, but that’s the beauty of this song. He’s doesn’t need to explain why he’s hot. He’s hot because he’s fly and you ain’t… cause you’re not

i'm just continually amazed with how this simply answers one of life's greatest questions. why am i hot? because i am fly. why are you not hot? because you are not fly.
Things really were never the same after the 2000’s. What an era

Yes.
Yup
yeah thats what he said
MIMS came by, told us why he was hot, and left.......
he got over 200 milli.
"Ion gotta rap. I can make a mil sayin' nothin' on the track."
Lol
He is one of the best hands down he just doesnt giv a fak

I used to listen to this when I was 63, and now I'm 17. This will forever be a classic.
The beat carried this song back in the day
You are not wrong!😮
"I could sell a mil saying nothing on the track" every song nowadays
