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"
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
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
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"
Most of them are dead or in jail doe right?? Just stating the facts hommay!! #statistics #thiswhyimhot #byrdboys #cwb #chamillionareridingdirryisfirefirefuegoaswellmyhommays!
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
***** YEAH EVEN THOUGH I HATE RADIO PLAY, THIS WAS A BIG HIT IN AUSTRALIA ON THE RADIO AT THE TIME IT CAME OUT, SoyGuapoYRico SO FUCK YOU, GO LISTEN TO YOU'RE BELOVED MACKLEMORE
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.
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 😁🤭😂😄😅😃
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”.
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.
" 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.
bro desserved much more than he got from the public,,,,,,but then again his erra was full of talents, i dont blame him for not shining...he was up against,,,rihanna, kanye, jayz, eminem, lil wayne, akon, T-pain, R kelly, 50 cent, drake, and many more
Things really were never the same after the 2000’s. What an era
