@@nuke3955 This video was uploaded 11 years ago, but the song was released on the album Sittin' Fat Down South in 1998, and the video was released in 1999. That's why the video description says 1999.
Rest in Peace Fat Pat, Rest in Peace Big Hawk, Rest in Peace Big T, and Rest in Peace Lil Will. 25 years later and this still jams. Reminds me of my childhood.
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
@@memesupreme8987 I wouldn't be able to make that statement without "indulging in some new age shit" (regarding to mainstream artists) Everyone from Kendrick to Nicki to Desiigner to Cardi B and so on and so forth... all not from the South. All spit on trappish type down South beats. I know Kendrick doesn't do it regularly but has done it as a west coast artist.
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✌
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.
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.
Damn, i used to be a bad kid but i grew up in a very toxic and abusive environment. I had a CD that had this song on it and i remember putting this song on and just escaping for a few minutes. Wish i could never relive those days but wish i can hear this for the first time again
@@darthvoidox Google it. LL cool j has a whole entire radio station dedicated to classic/old school rap/hiphop from ALL regions. Its It's pretty damn dope.
This year my credit score finally got above 800 and today I just got my American Express Platinum card in the mail and immediately started singing this song.
White farm boy from Oregon, bagging up parsnips from the wash rack at 2 am in the morning listening to this cd on the cd player with my cd case sitting next to it. everyone was still alive, my grandparents, uncles, mom. Weird times. Funny how rap transcends.
I was a little girl with this song came out and my older cousins always bumped this song. Some of them are no longer with us which is still crazy but thanks for creating great music that breeds great memories. ❤❤
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 .
Bro... I don't have kids and he'd be a little older than me. But I feel bad for your pain bro. I've got a different but similar pain of my own. It's Central.l But don't let it define you. Be strong and be good to people. And remember that you exist for a reason.
Used to bump this on two 12" JLs in a big ass box that used to slide around the trunk. Time flies by. 40s now, doing well, but I'd like one more night 16 years old, cruising in my beater bumping this.
My mom showed me this song as a little kid, on the same CD with Def Leppard and Sting. RIP Joey Lynn Randolph. I'm white af, and this opened up a whole world of music for me.
One of my all time favorites!!! When this came out, I taped it off the radio!!! Me and my Mom would listen to it in the morning on the way to work!!! We loved it!!! This song reminds me of my Mom to this day, and it always will.
My baby sis loved Master P, didn't know back in the day bumping this as teens that her time was far too limited! My truest homie from the womb to the tomb, i miss her🖤
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!
I get a weird feeling listening to songs like this from the late 90s and 2000s it’s a feeling of my older self telling my self now to cherish the moment
I'll never forget the first time I heard this song... I must have been 11 years old... I walked into a friends house and his older sister was there with friends... I rememberi smelled something I never smelled before and was like what is that awful smell ... Marijuana smoke in the air and this song bumping on the television... Everytime I hear this song info right back to that time in life .. I was in like 4 grade.. truly a great song absolutely legendary
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.
IDK why but nostalgia hit me hard AF watching this video. Damn I miss cutting up and hanging out with my boyz in the late 90's. 97-99 was the greatest time of my life with a special shout out to 2004😔
I'm 56. I searched for this when I realized I hadn't heard it in a minute after I had heard some of the chorus in a 2000z ? hip-hop/rap song. I don't know if this song was NOT transferred from Google Play Music. There have been so many; maybe there are still some that didn't transfer. It may be that this and possibly others had been removed by... 😞 Google does what it wants with their apps whether we want it or not.
I remember sitting in the back of my Buddy Phillip's dad's Jimmy, singing this song with him 8th grade year. Sadly he passed on while I was in the Army. I miss the good ol' days, w/ good ol' music.
My homeboy/brother was in a tragic motorcycle accident 3 days ago. This was his favorite song. We bumped this everyday all day, back in the day (still do) I freaking miss you so much already. Rip Trustin. Flyin high with the Eagles now...Gbnf I love you.
RIP to your Brother. Three. Let me repeat that. Three of my HighSchool friends died from motorcycle accidents in separate incidents. That’s the main reason I have never rode or wanted to ride one. RIP Noah, Jarred, and Calvin.
OMG I forgot how much I love this song! Love how music can take you back in time. It can elicit so many feelings and emotions. Takes me back to a much simpler and carefree time in my life. A time when my heart wasn't heavy with grief...before my husband passed away. I can literally smell the nighttime summer air, listening to this song as we drove through the mountains bopping our heads. 😂 Bittersweet. ❤
Back when rappers made clean versions of their songs cuz they knew our parents would beat our ass's if they heard us listening to songs with cursing in em 🤘🏿😂. R.I.P Tech 9
Hhaahah my dad took my BTNH creeping on a come up bc first song hahah man i use to have to hide my tapes, even korns follow the leader bc on the inside pamphlet there were boobs in the background painting
My childhood jeez, I miss this song alot takes me right back to 1999 when i was 7, I used to dance to this everytime. My gosh it been 25 years now cannot believe it, I am 32 now and I just came across this song again, I miss the 90s so much. Wish i turn back time and be a kid again i miss this today generation just cannot compare to the songs we grew up with
I was just at the smoke shop... this song started playing and I started singing. Heard a voice behind me singing, turned and seen a big black man singing with little white ass. He said, you must be older than you look😂 41 yrs young! ❤ we laughed and sang till it was over! Love the good lyrics...live the good song! ✌️🤘
11 years ago i literally had nothing and for a while after that too. This song is and was my anthem. Proud successful business owner now PTL and still bumping.
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

Dustin decoursey fucking right ain't no new rap on my rap playlist lmao we jammed this shit while making runs and getting shit in when we was all young and dumb
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.
0:32 hits and I’m instantly transported through time. It’s 1999, I’m young and completely carefree. The world is so much simpler, I’m joyriding around Tampa in a black Z-28 T-Top Camaro, bumping this song on burned CD-R made using Napster and Nero and playing on a trunk mounted 6 disc CD changer(remember having to pull over to change the the discs?), my CD book was expertly organized, I still owned a collection of cassettes and a Walkman, my friend had a PrimeCo Nokia but I still carried loose change for payphones, Internet cafés were fun places to hang, I rocked Etnies and Osiris and Jnco jeans( 🤦🏼♂️), and beanies in the summer. Life was good. LOL
I just flashed back to so many of my old homies that are dead now - Jesus I’m tearing up as this damn track plays - we were here too!!!! Hard lookin back all the best ones are gone I miss the shit outta u -
There really arent any mainstream rappers that come close to this... houston rappers keep you ridding and smashin and making yo ends. PIMPIN FA REAL. YALL KNOW HOW HOUSTON DO IT. WE TIGHT WITH IT. NOONE DOES IT LIKE WE DO. Do not let them other rappers let you feel no other way. You know how Houston does. We do it! If you born in Houston dont ever Change up on your family.
Grew up in NYC all my life , my parents sent me to Tampa in the summer of 98 to stay with fam. This track was bumpin everywhere in the south that summer. I had never heard hip hop like this. Before social media or fast internet, you just had to be there
This is beautiful. As I sit here (from Houston) reminiscing on the music from back in the 90s when I was in my own apt in my early 20s, when my best friend was still alive . Now I'm in my mid 40s, married and living in another country. Life is so different now, better actually. I don't miss Houston, a lot of pain there, but I do miss my friends who have passed on and just the good ole days.
In contrast, I grew up in the South all my life. In early 98 I relocated to NYC to stay with my aunt. The two tracks bumping everywhere: Ruff Ryder's Anthem and later that year, Superthug. It's always memorable stepping into an environment so different from yours, good times!
@@mahoganybrown9366 Especially before social media, people were more unique. Technology has made trends/fads more widespread. Back in the day you were that dude in school if u had a mixtapes from another poppin state.
@@jhova187 sorry to butt in but I totally agree with you! By brain went on a whole tangent on the topic when I saw two teens the other day that looked like they coulda been from a rough crowd in nyc way back in the 80’s. Doesn’t sound like much, but they were wearing leather, chains and had a hundred patches all over. They really stood out. When I saw them it hit me how nobody looks unique anymore, everyone is very plain and even people who go out of their way to look different still do it in this sort of aesthetically pleasing, mainstream way.
@@egreggergfewrgre7128cause it’s the music vid they had to edit it for radio. Lil Troy said in a interview that Yungstar did 4 verses and only 2 made it on the album version… those other 2 verses never seeing the light lmao
This song is so smooth & the lyrics are so tight--plus, the video is dope...definitely one of the best ever...RIP to all the homies who've passed>>they've now found a better way

🙏🏼💙 Amen
I'm 56. I searched for this when I realized I hadn't heard it in a minute after I had heard some of the chorus in a 2000z ? hip-hop/rap song. I don't know if this song was NOT transferred from Google Play Music. There have been so many; maybe there are still some that didn't transfer. It may be that this and possibly others had been removed by... 😞 Google does what it wants with their apps whether we want it or not.
Same here! Amen!
I feel ya. Eazy
Lil Troy, I wish you a speedy recovery.🙏
🙏🏾
I hope that he recovers fast too. What happened to him?
@@mariaguadalupe8658 Lil Troy had a stroke and he is still recovering from a heart attack.
@@rusticization Oh, I see. He doesn't deserve that. How sad! I'll be praying for him...
"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
This song was playing at my homeboys viewing when I walked up to his casket this shit hits way different now RIP Alex

Ty bro. My condolences
I remember sitting in the back of my Buddy Phillip's dad's Jimmy, singing this song with him 8th grade year. Sadly he passed on while I was in the Army. I miss the good ol' days, w/ good ol' music.
Thank you for your service👊🏻
Thx for service gang
OMG, I'd totally forgotten about the Jimmy! 😆
Shout out to Lil Troy hope he recovers ,shout out to Houston Rap ! Love y'all 💕 🙏🏽👍🏽🙏🏽 New Jersey in the house 🏠 BSolo NJ !!

Yes sir

Damn we need more classic like this miss the throw back music 🤦🏾♂️
My homeboy/brother was in a tragic motorcycle accident 3 days ago. This was his favorite song. We bumped this everyday all day, back in the day (still do) I freaking miss you so much already. Rip Trustin. Flyin high with the Eagles now...Gbnf I love you.
RIP to your Brother. Three. Let me repeat that. Three of my HighSchool friends died from motorcycle accidents in separate incidents. That’s the main reason I have never rode or wanted to ride one. RIP Noah, Jarred, and Calvin.
Sorry about ur lost. Keep your head baby girl... 😘
So sorry for your loss 😢❤️🙏🏻
Shouldn’t get on a motorcycle if you can’t ride one
@Calvin Kunkel not cool bro. No words!
Prayers up for Lil Troy who is currently fighting for his life after a heart attack 🙏🏽
OMG I forgot how much I love this song! Love how music can take you back in time. It can elicit so many feelings and emotions. Takes me back to a much simpler and carefree time in my life. A time when my heart wasn't heavy with grief...before my husband passed away. I can literally smell the nighttime summer air, listening to this song as we drove through the mountains bopping our heads. 😂 Bittersweet. ❤
💔🫶
Still listening to this in 2024 till 2025 till 2030 and beyond
Yes sir
Back when rappers made clean versions of their songs cuz they knew our parents would beat our ass's if they heard us listening to songs with cursing in em 🤘🏿😂. R.I.P Tech 9
Exactly they had respect back then
Hhaahah my dad took my BTNH creeping on a come up bc first song hahah man i use to have to hide my tapes, even korns follow the leader bc on the inside pamphlet there were boobs in the background painting
Mine never did and I listened to the ones with bad words.
I was doing ⌛️⌛️ When I first this song , this shyt still hard. 🥊
My uncle used to let me listen to rap with curse words when i was little i always hated censorship
My childhood jeez, I miss this song alot takes me right back to 1999 when i was 7, I used to dance to this everytime. My gosh it been 25 years now cannot believe it, I am 32 now and I just came across this song again, I miss the 90s so much. Wish i turn back time and be a kid again i miss this today generation just cannot compare to the songs we grew up with
This is one of them songs you can listen to everyday and never get tired of it.
There’s no such thing as a bad memory when this song plays 🤘🏼
I was just at the smoke shop... this song started playing and I started singing. Heard a voice behind me singing, turned and seen a big black man singing with little white ass. He said, you must be older than you look😂 41 yrs young! ❤ we laughed and sang till it was over! Love the good lyrics...live the good song! ✌️🤘
20+ years later and I still bumping this on the regular!!!
I'm 62 heard this partying with my younger friends way back,, bad ass song,,,, good memories
It's so amazing that so many of us have had such good times with this song. ❤ Music is one of the threads that ties us all together.
11 years ago i literally had nothing and for a while after that too. This song is and was my anthem. Proud successful business owner now PTL and still bumping.
Where you producing? Drop the nNe
It wasn’t made 11 years ago that’s just the upload date on this 😂
Yesah keep tha classics alive💯
Proud of you bro thanks for inspiring others with that comment
@@alexanderromaguera can’t let the legacy die it’s to great
Still dope AF, and the fact that Prince loved it and cleared the sample for free is proof of that.
What song was sampled?
Little Red Corvette (slowed down, diff pitch) @@ellaesparza3151
@ellaesparza3151 little red corvette
@@Rico.907wow never knew that. Thank you
Texas baby 🤘🏽
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
Hawk taking Pat’s place in the music video is cool, dudes remind me of myself and my brother. RIP the Hawkins brothers, long live Screwston, Tex
The old stuff is too good, I’m 13 going on 14 this year and I can’t get enough of the 90s-2000s hip-hop and rap 🔥🔥🔥🔥

One of my favorite songs this well always be hot" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just one cool, cold as ice beat even 20 plus years later. Never gets old
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.
You hit the nail on the head
0:32 hits and I’m instantly transported through time. It’s 1999, I’m young and completely carefree. The world is so much simpler, I’m joyriding around Tampa in a black Z-28 T-Top Camaro, bumping this song on burned CD-R made using Napster and Nero and playing on a trunk mounted 6 disc CD changer(remember having to pull over to change the the discs?), my CD book was expertly organized, I still owned a collection of cassettes and a Walkman, my friend had a PrimeCo Nokia but I still carried loose change for payphones, Internet cafés were fun places to hang, I rocked Etnies and Osiris and Jnco jeans( 🤦🏼♂️), and beanies in the summer. Life was good. LOL
Bumped to this song on my way to block buster. Good times!
My 2000 bmw 740i still has its 6 disc in the trunk, I got pacs greatest hits double disc in there out of respect
I just flashed back to so many of my old homies that are dead now - Jesus I’m tearing up as this damn track plays - we were here too!!!! Hard lookin back all the best ones are gone I miss the shit outta u -
My uncle used to bump this in his Evo Mitsubishi he would take me to the car wash and blast this song memories about 8 years ago😕
Shoulda bent hepling cleaning
I bumped it in my evo as well
Ok

There really arent any mainstream rappers that come close to this... houston rappers keep you ridding and smashin and making yo ends. PIMPIN FA REAL. YALL KNOW HOW HOUSTON DO IT. WE TIGHT WITH IT. NOONE DOES IT LIKE WE DO. Do not let them other rappers let you feel no other way. You know how Houston does. We do it! If you born in Houston dont ever Change up on your family.
This was when times were chill and not paranoid how things are now damn I wish we were back to this era
Yah
You can! Just put away the CNN newsfeed.
My crazy ass was bumping this, warren g, pac, Spanish music , trance and death metal lol
Recall 90’s
The rush of nostalgia I get when I hear this classic..oh what a time to be alive🥶
Grew up in NYC all my life , my parents sent me to Tampa in the summer of 98 to stay with fam. This track was bumpin everywhere in the south that summer. I had never heard hip hop like this. Before social media or fast internet, you just had to be there
This is beautiful. As I sit here (from Houston) reminiscing on the music from back in the 90s when I was in my own apt in my early 20s, when my best friend was still alive . Now I'm in my mid 40s, married and living in another country. Life is so different now, better actually. I don't miss Houston, a lot of pain there, but I do miss my friends who have passed on and just the good ole days.
In contrast, I grew up in the South all my life. In early 98 I relocated to NYC to stay with my aunt. The two tracks bumping everywhere: Ruff Ryder's Anthem and later that year, Superthug. It's always memorable stepping into an environment so different from yours, good times!
@@mahoganybrown9366 Especially before social media, people were more unique. Technology has made trends/fads more widespread. Back in the day you were that dude in school if u had a mixtapes from another poppin state.
@@jhova187 sorry to butt in but I totally agree with you! By brain went on a whole tangent on the topic when I saw two teens the other day that looked like they coulda been from a rough crowd in nyc way back in the 80’s. Doesn’t sound like much, but they were wearing leather, chains and had a hundred patches all over. They really stood out. When I saw them it hit me how nobody looks unique anymore, everyone is very plain and even people who go out of their way to look different still do it in this sort of aesthetically pleasing, mainstream way.
and i thought this track hit home with me!
Keep fighting lil Troy sending prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I hope that he has a speedy recovery. What happened to him?
