For me it's the NYC beats from like '91-'95 or '96. The jazzier, the better. I think 3rd bass music is underrated. The beats were just sublime. Like some of the best produced beats imo.
I loved this song so much my grand pop bought the single cd with 3 versions the dirty, the clean and the chopped and screwed plus the instrumental I didn’t even know they still made those by 06 sadly that was the last thing he ever bought me because he died later that year but this song always make me think about him this shit legendary til this day I still don’t know who got the best verse 😂
My absolute favorite era of rap. Imagine listening to these guys for years, waiting for them to blow up, then seeing this come on BET. I still get goosebumps sometimes.
We had the best if both worlds at that time!!! We had major hits on the radio and then we had all our underground artists remixing freestyling on those beats. The mixtapes were amazing!
And the fact that he grinded his ass off to get recognition, at least that's the story I've heard. Constantly in Houston strip clubs doing everything he possibly could to promote and get himself in the scene.
I really didn't appreciate this as much as I should have back then. I miss that Era. It was so much fun. Back then there were many distinct regional sounds in rap. I feel like things have become much more homogenized these days .
Agreed. Used to be a very distinct sound difference from east coast, west coast, southern, Florida rappers, Atlanta rappers you could damn near pick out which city a dude from by how he rapped
This is crazy to read…..I great up very close to the Swisha House guys. I had no idea back then that people outside of Houston knew them let alone all the way in Canada. Mike Jones / Paul Wall / DJ Skcrew were paer of the culture in the late 19990s and early 2000s.
The south invented having swag. The flavor down here is forever unmatched. Alabama, Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana- all got their own individual swag.
Why you leave Florida out? We invented booty shaking southern songs. Uncle Luke, trick daddy, jt money, Rick ross, plies, Trina, poison clang, tom g, list goes on. Florida hold it down for the south nigga
I remember when this came out when I was in High School. This was one of coldest songs I ever heard and pretty much ever since then my favorite genre of music switched to 100% Houston rap.
Bro seeing you get so worked up over southern people and so excited about it and saying we cool and shit literally made my month bro the south really be lacking that respect especially Texas so I appreciate it my man
Bro I'm 34 and you still a young buck. 22, don't waste you time because it flies... I still remember 1999 end of elementary. Ying yang twins, Whistle While You Twurk, Swisha House and the Freestyle Kings XD My advice to you, look at investing. I regret buying all the dumb shit and expensive shit that in the end don't matter.
Cool Breeze feat Outkast and Goodie Mob - Watch for the Hook Hot Boys - Respect My Mind Hot Boys - Bout Whatever BG - Clean Up Man C Murder feat BG - Y’all Heard Of Me Lil Troy - Wanna Be A Baller Lil Keke - 25 Lighters
So weird I listened to this song for the first time in over a decade today and now you upload it. Crazy. This was such a fun time for the rap game in the dirty south.
I was in high school when this came out. I had a homie who used to work for Swishahouse. I got some free swag occasionally, album t-shirts, early CD releases, and got to meet Slim Thug and Paul Wall. Never had the chance to meet Mike Jones yet. Was a fun time being 14 year old and learning more about hip-hop culture from those dudes.
Every verse is a banger! Super rare where everyone nails it. I think of this one and Fat Joe’s lean back as great multiple rappers killing their verses.
Glad to see you doing some classic southern joints fam.... I like when you do the video versions as well. This right here is a straight classic. Would love to see you react to "25 lighters on my dresser" especially the video version.
Much love from NY.....I absolutely LOVE this track....Mike Jones, Paul Wall and Slim Thug so dope. FYI Fun fact...... the word swag goes WAYYYYYYY back....To like the 50s or 60s, probably even earlier..... so the question to "who uses swag now-a-days", just know that that word has survived for that long
Cruisin' down the street in my '64 Jockin' the freaks, clockin' the dough Went to the park to get the scoop Knuckleheads out there cold-shootin' some hoops
Chamillionaires underground stuff with Paul wall N Luv Wit My Money My money gets jealous Or any one of their freestyles. Chamillionaire is The Godfather of the baller rap style
Swishahouse - Big Ballin' Shot Callin' off of 'The Day Hell Broke Loose' album is what really brought Swishahouse from the real underground scene to more widespread. One of the most well known freestyles is Lil Flip's - We Blow Endo Dj Screw/Screwed Up Click, UGK, Geto Boyz, South Park Coalition, Swisha House, Freestyle Kingz, Color Changing Click, K-Rino, Devin The Dude and so on and so on. 90's, 2000's was a great era
Classic. I'm 46, this in my riding playlist all of em lol. This Htown swisher house Era don't get enough credit in hip hop in my opinion. Rip Dj screw and pimpc. All these dudes made me mad I wasn't from Houston. The flow the beats and delivery was a perfect storm. Loved the reaction
2002 first time I moved to America, I used to live in Houston and was 16, I would hear this song all the time in front of our apartment and brings back memories! 😂
All these boys brought in on this song. I remember when this came out. I was in college then. Man, I feel so old with this kid saying that he was 3 when it came out.
Makes me feel old seeing folks react to stuff that was bumping back when i was 18. Had one xt crossfire 15" in an 03 civic. It flys by my dudes. Bro you got to check out lil whyte oxy cotten
Maaaan this was my ring tone on my old nextel i860. How old am I getting when he said this song was back in the day. Back in the day for me was the 80s & before.... damn I'm getting old...
My friends and I thought we were so cool because we knew all the lyrics to this in high school lol Suggestions if you haven't already reacted to these: "Feel me flow"- Naughty by Nature "Party Ain't a party"- Queen Pen "Tennessee"- Arrested Development "T.R.O.Y They reminisce over you" -Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth "Dolly My Baby" - Supercat, Biggie nem
That dirty south rap has always been a little underrated in my opinion but H-town has put out some rappers in 90's whos beats still go harder than most of the stuff being put out today.
This was my jam back then. I'd turn the volume all the way up..turn the bass knob all the way up..two 12 cerwin vegas flexin hard...and a fat ass blunt to the head. Hell yeah
PLEASE DO DEAD IN A YEAR BY STREET MILITARY 🙏 THESE DUDES WERE ABOUT 13 OR 14 WHEN THEY MADE THE EP ANOTHER HIT . VERY HARD TO BELEIVE KIDS WERE RAPPIN LIKE THAT 👍
In 2003ish, this was mainstream on MTV. Didn't even have to be in/from the South. And if you paid attention at all to "indy hip hop" you knew these guys before they blew up, at least Paul Wall and Chamillionaire. You could be on a mid-Atlantic beach or a farm in the midwest. "Mike Jones. Who?" was everywhere. I miss this era because it seemed every region had something and you didn't have to dig much for it, plus the underground/indy scene was very diverse. This was when Kanye first blew up being "different" but he wasn't really that different, just more mainstreaming of a niche that had been around (though he did add his own spins on it).
I remeber when this shit dropped. Still hits just as good. One the nest beats of all time imo. Classic. These boys had a run before the A took over. Check out some of their other classics if you havent. Glad to be part of the south.
Back when hip-hop wasn't just the same flow in the same type of rappers over and over with the same Beats Everybody in the mid-2000s and before had their own style
I'm 44 years old, hearing this made me go to the store and buy a 40oz and stand in front of my house jamming to this.
mayne I'm 31 and I wanna go buy a grape swisher, fill it up, and go drive around and smoke it in my car listenin to chopped n screwed jams
Dude, me too!!!!!!
Go take care of your kids
@@fed1013 good point
Lool
This song is like a time machine to 2000s Houston. Makes you feel like you’re smoking a grape swisher in a low rider Cadillac
Facts my man. Instant nostalgia...
I felt that grape swisher part lol thats the official arroma of texas back in the day lol
Cruising down 59 south then hit that 610 loop blowing down the entire time just cruising.
A slaaaab not no Lowrider yee
Damn!!! Not the the grape swisher!!! 😂 memories.
Feeling old as shit seeing someone react to this for the first time 😭 😭😭😂😂😂
Man!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Bruh🤙🏾😩🤙🏾!!!
I'm like "how has he not heard this!!!"
Lol I know! I just randomly saw this video after listening to the song and I thought damn I’m so old now. This is from high school
Bruh…wow this is crazy…first time heating it lol.
This is what Houston sounded like in the early/mid 2000s
Somewhat back then it waz more original freestyles.
Houston was on an incredible run during that time. UGK, Chamillionaire, Paul Wall, Mike Jones, Slim Thug, Lil Flip, etc
@@defaultuser9273 big facts! SUC stand up!!!!
Them country tunes
And ATL dawg. Better than any movie ever made
Nothing beats the early 2000s and late 90s Beats.
Those instrumentals were made to enhance lyrics, not overpower them.
For me it's the NYC beats from like '91-'95 or '96. The jazzier, the better. I think 3rd bass music is underrated. The beats were just sublime. Like some of the best produced beats imo.
soul chipmunk beats are my fav type
Really good observation, and you're absolutely right.
Til this day, one of the greatest rap beats. That beat so fire. Paul Wall was my guy back then and Sim Thug. Mike Jones could’ve had a longer career.
Paul wall still be dropping dope music so does slim thug look up "rip to the parking lot" by slim thug and paul wall "Kill Dat shit"
who?
@@stobe187 Mike jones.?
@@lk_strik1897 who?
@Sala who?
Damn I feel old!!! I was slappin this when it came out. Even had that beat on a ringtone lol 😆
Yooooooooooooo🥺🥺

I had the ringtone too lol

Facts and I'm 33
Heard this track soo many times, absolute banger.
Swishahouse was ruling everything back then.
DJ Michael Watts
Facts!
My absolute favorite era of rap. Imagine listening to these guys for years, waiting for them to blow up, then seeing this come on BET. I still get goosebumps sometimes.
Three 6 Mafia, Ice Cube, Bone thugs. This era is unbeatable
Same
We had the best if both worlds at that time!!! We had major hits on the radio and then we had all our underground artists remixing freestyling on those beats. The mixtapes were amazing!
Paul Wall one of the best Southern lyricists that didn't get the credit he deserves. Especially lately. Dude be snappin.
Talk about it
Crawlin similar to an ant cuz I’m low to the earth
He gets his credit down here in Texas…from El Paso to Louisiana everyone and they grandma know Paul wall a legend
Lmaooo man this is just this song when him and Chamillionare in Color Changin Click now that’s where it’s at!
And the fact that he grinded his ass off to get recognition, at least that's the story I've heard. Constantly in Houston strip clubs doing everything he possibly could to promote and get himself in the scene.

Back when the south owned rap

Who’s mike Jones ?
@@vlare3636 who?😂
I remember back in the day when I first heard this track, I was just a kid in Alberta Canada bumpin this shit. Texas Rap just hit different
Amen brother, DJ SCREW is the man to jam to bro..

The south invented having swag. The flavor down here is forever unmatched. Alabama, Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana- all got their own individual swag.
Factssssssss Tennessee checkin in
They didn't invent swag. But they did have their own.
Why you leave Florida out? We invented booty shaking southern songs. Uncle Luke, trick daddy, jt money, Rick ross, plies, Trina, poison clang, tom g, list goes on. Florida hold it down for the south nigga
They DAMN sure didn’t invent swag lol.
Can't even understand y'all half the time, stop it lol
Best part of this era was the parties. No cameras, anything goes. Those were the days
💯💯💯💯
The Motorola razr had a camera, but it was so bad, you still couldn't document much
Mannn
Straight up😂🤣
This song and Sittin Sidewayz by Paul Wall had them legendary instrumentals
Sittin Sidewayz is fucking amazing! That beat is something special!
U hav to do Lil KeKe next, the song is called Chunk up the deuce” guaranteed banger
Don't forget Southside and Pimp Tha Pen..
I’m from port Arthur representin till I’m dead🔥🔥
Omgosh that was my shit !!!!!
🔥
I prefer Southside over chunck but they both hard af
I remember performing this at a karaoke in a Mexican bar. Ppl loved it
That had to be different!
Lmao
Paul Wall was slidin on this 🔥
Really did
I don’t think many people realize how big this song was when it done did came out. Fina done changed the game.
This made me laugh way too hard
I remember when this came out when I was in High School. This was one of coldest songs I ever heard and pretty much ever since then my favorite genre of music switched to 100% Houston rap.
Each one had their own style, flow and had tons of confidence. This beat is eternal as well.
Bro seeing you get so worked up over southern people and so excited about it and saying we cool and shit literally made my month bro the south really be lacking that respect especially Texas so I appreciate it my man
Lord when they played this song in clubs in Tx .. it was insane!
Southern rap is straight laid back cool and chill we really do this down here
Yeah, we do!!
I'm shook this ya first time with this classic South track, but also dope.
It's sad and good to see people my age and a lil older discover this song. It's a certified hood classic
Edit: I'm 22 lmao
Bro I'm 34 and you still a young buck. 22, don't waste you time because it flies... I still remember 1999 end of elementary. Ying yang twins, Whistle While You Twurk, Swisha House and the Freestyle Kings XD My advice to you, look at investing.

Check out this song:
Chamillionaire & Paul Wall - “N Luv With My Money”
Such a good track that’s old!
Welcome to Houston is good too!
Love seeing the youth doing HW to learn our culture. Makes me proud. These are archives of our people. Glad your tapped in!
Already, I love it.
After this every damn one wanted some grills. Paul Wall was already a millionaire from making and distributing them. Then he did Grillz with Nelly.
In the uncut version of this vid, slim thug's scene in the car is zoomed out a bit, and you can see him getting "topped off" while he raps lol

This was on constant replay on BET back in 05' lol 17 years later and song still fire.
For real, I’m from NYC, back then Mike Jones really was fucking huge. He had like a 1-2 year bubble everyone bumped his music. It was special
Theres no way this your first time listening to this classic?!?!!... Grew up on this song would jamm it on repeat on Mike Jones album in 03💯
Shit makes me wanna cry . Really brings me back. And I’m only 32 . Mad love and respect to all the OG’S out there still tippin 🔥
good to see young kids like yourself appreciate this southern culture and the look of pure joy on your face was really enjoyable
This song was so crazy when it dropped. Beat so cold and they all spit fire verses. Classic for sure
Every verse is a banger! Super rare where everyone nails it. I think of this one and Fat Joe’s lean back as great multiple rappers killing their verses.
Man im 50 and still bump this
This is absolutely 💯 one of the sickest beats ever created!!!! If you freestyle over this you better go off 🔥
Being from Dallas we love this song. One of my favorite raps songs period, I’ve known word for word ever since it came out.
One of the greatest beats ever made.

Naw pimp the pen, Tops Drop SWANGIN and BANGIN

Good to see young bucks showing respect to the old heads. Keep it up bro, your attitude is gonna serve you well in life

Hey bro thanks for showing love to the South this music video was shot in several different places one of them being my hood off Main in Houston.

H-town baby!!!!
I grew up with these boys from homestead to studewood
Graduated from jersey village high school with them boys
I remember in the 6 grade knocking this ..great music about to knock this ...
2002 first time I moved to America, I used to live in Houston and was 16, I would hear this song all the time in front of our apartment and brings back memories! 😂
We got to get into the 'Eightball & MJG' - " Coming Out Hard" Album!! 9/10 album..
Too many bars & back-and-forth from '93 💯💯💯
Paul Wall so underrated, after Em, & Mac Miller he's the coldest white boy to do it.
Beat is straight nasty
All these boys brought in on this song. I remember when this came out. I was in college then. Man, I feel so old with this kid saying that he was 3 when it came out.
My fav from this era was "They Dont Know" by Paul Wall.. reppin TX hard!
Wow... I'm still at a loss how yall younginsaint heard these classics... enjoy
