1998... I was 17, ridin and jammin this in high school... now, my daughter is 15yrs old and this is one of her favorite jams too. This classic Texas shit is timeless and can’t be duplicated fo’real. RIP PAT, HAWK, SCREW, PIMP C, MO...everybody! BIG UPs to all my TEXANs still holdin
I know right! 17 years old at Klien Forest High School. Now I have a 15-year-old got all these white boys in The Woodlands jamming this shit!!!!! Fucking hilarious.
I'm 39-years-old from Harlem and The Bronx but never heard of Fat Pat till now. This song was fire too bad it didn't hit NYC air waves. South was slepted on for awhile in the beginning I guess. R.I.P 🙏🏾
Hey. That's so true. A lot of Southside music was slept on for a minute to the world, but that never stopped the Southside from banging these hits. Appreciate you for recognizing good music
Yeah Texas rap had a hard time making it out of the bubble back in the late 90s/early 2000s. There were a lot of top notch artist making classics down here during that time though. If you ever got some free time check out Zro, lil keke, esg, ugk, Paul wall & chamillionaire (when they were a duo), trae amongst many others. They all put out some classic albums during that time frame
@@kupo9731 yeah I guess I just overlooked Screw because he’s like a god down here and essentially the whole culture of HTOWN rap is based off his style. It’s kinda like saying the sky is blue lol. Nothing like getting on some drank, good bud, even alcohol or dip (if you’re into that) and jamin to one of his mixtapes. I have a hard time recommending SPM due to the situation he’d find himself in later in his career but you can’t deny he was putting out some classics before he was incarcerated. One of my favorite Htown songs is Power Moves with Bushwick Bill. Bill murders his verse on that record.
Speak for yourself! I dam sho knew life was good back then! I'm was like 20 when this dropped! I was in Tha D, Funky Town, Tha Co, Hill Top, to Tha H, East TX, A-Town! Just living life, having fun, not taking one day for granted!
If you grew up in Texas your eyes should tear up when Fat Pat start spittin “Swang and Swang and Swang to the left pop pop my trunk and dip dip dip” Damn time flies man
I'll never forget first hearing this song. My brother popped the cassette in the car and told me, "This will be one of the most important songs you'll ever hear and respect out of Texas." Makes me proud of my state. R.I.P to the legends. Screw, HAWK, Pimp, Moe.. We miss you and rap will never be the same.
This shit should have been all over MTV in the mid 90s. First time I'm hearing it. Got sent here after finding out it's the song ZZ Top covered as "I Gotsta Get Paid".
The song is about drugs, cannot be all over TV. You seem unaware of what the song means. The song refers to how dealers used to stuff drugs into Bic lighters, so they could conceal it. That is literally what they are talking about, and you cannot play that all over MTV. They are promoting being dealers. The crazy part is you notice Fat Pat is not in this video, because he got killed. Fat Pat was about to be a huge star. He had the hottest song of the year in 98, Wanna Be A Baller, had this song and his song Tops Drop, and did not live to see the success of any of it. Tops Drop is now mainstream 25 years later, and is one of the most classic songs ever made in the south. We know the song in the south, but now it is mainstream. UFC blew the song up because Derrick Lewis uses it as his entrance. Nonetheless, Fat Pat is not in any of those videos. Fat Pat maybe had one of the biggest years of any rapper in 1998, and never appeared in a video, and had multiple classic hits that year. Really sad when you think about how he missed his success.
@@chrisgullett4332 plenty of way worse stuff was played on MTV in the 90s. And almost every huge rap hit of that time had 75% of the words censored on TV anyway. Sublime had the same issue with a deceased singer before they blew up. Bradley died 2 months before the release of their biggest album. Most of the singles from that album are about hookers and drugs.
@@eugeneeasthon5906 But MTV nor any other network was promoting drug dealers. Huge difference. Not to mention, editing a word is way different than editing a chorus. You seem unintelligent.
@@chrisgullett4332 they'd never play a video about dealing? Bone. First of the Month, roughly the same time frame. Thats literally ALL MTV was playing for hip hop in the 90s. You really want to be arrogant here, but you have to have facts to back it up.
@@eugeneeasthon5906 Nope first of the month is about getting government checks and spending it. Has zero to do with promoting dealers. This song is literally about dealing drugs, huge difference. Smarten up
Brooklyn NY showing mad love to Texas..Can never forget the OGs who paid the way for the youth .So Pat, Hawk,Pimp C,Screw....Thank you for blessing not only Texas but the world with ya legacy and music
Born and raised in Detroit and I first heard this when I was in HS. Man, this right here make me miss that real 90's southern rap. Still listening in 2020
This song is beautiful. Never forget what Southern rap used to be like. RIP all the artists that didn't make it like Fat Pat, Big Hawke, Pimp C (to name a few) you will be missed and your legend will never die. Respect to living legends like Lil Keke, Bun B, Z-ro (the list goes on) that still make good rap music and rep the Southside.
MrLammz butthurt? you speakin on shit like you jus know whatssup, these niggas dead and you placing blame on lean and dk what you talkin bout. you prolly should shut the fuck up.
People don't get it but when music from the south was the shit before it went mainstream. It was their own style and they represented it perfect. Love it back in the day.
We southerners had our own unique style makes me proud to be from the south this song is legendary I was a kid but remember my family playing this song during cookouts boy those was the good old days miss them.
Man we used to play the hell out of this song in college, going to college in the Tennessee changed my outlook on southern rap forever, this was the song that won me over. CHI CITY in the house
I dont know if anyone heard of The Box back in 98? 99? But I used to watch this back in Washington State on that music channel. Lmao. It always put me in a good mood.
I’m living in Texas these days. One of my homies put me on to this song and it is one of my favorite songs ever. Period. I listen to this song multiple times a day throughout the course of a week and it never gets old. It’s so catchy. Can’t help but bob your head and absorb the vibe. “Love it mayne!”
@@omni201 lmao yeah why do you think they went through so many lighters 😂 I’m fr though they’re all for smoking hard or for distributing it which I explain below.
Yo the south literally saved Hip Hop man, they always put that energy forward, and when the east coast was kind of falling off, and the west was a little more localized, they put up the goods. A lot of west Coast Rap, has roots in south shit too, like honestly, we owe the South so much.
don't forget Big Mello!...DJ Screw who was instrumental in putting HTown underground with UGK on the map!...RIP to Pump C and Dino from HTOWN!...gone to soon!😢
These one of them songs that once it comes on you don’t wanna turn it because of that feeling that comes back from when you were a kid 😊☺️ #Goodtimes Fasho
So many memories. Summer of 99. I was 16 yesterday old. So many memories in west Point ms in the country. I miss those days watching rap city. These were the days
R.I.P. H ..Town LEGEND gone to soon ...I remember at the club on Sunday nite back in 1998 n 1999 when this song come on club would go CRAZY..Great memories in HOUSTON TX.. FAT PAT
The first person to mention "25 lighters on my dresser yes sir : was mjg on the 8ball amd mjg on the on top of the world album which was released in the winter of 1996 . He said "280 pounds of hey every dam day got to testa 25 lighters on my dresser yes sir" and the hit song was born from this verse,
Christopher Nichols ..........bullsh*t homeboy..........lil keke said that sh*t on a DJ Screw tape before 8Ball & MJG said it.............with 8Ball & MJG being in Houston most of there career early on and with them knowing the Screwed Up Click and making a song with them H-Town rappers, it's safe to say that that MJB bar was influence by being around Houston rappers and D-Boys. #bet
no doubt! you mustnbe a young teacher or just 1 that appreciates good music. but regardless of what peace be on to you . shit, im listening to this now because my dog cease pu4 me onmto tuis. this shit is hard B.
I looked up the zztop version, its not bad at all....Rappers sample RockNRoll/R&B beats all the time so why cant RockNRoll do it to rap?..I think it helps bring unity...
+loulou3t There's no problem with sampling. As you said, rap/hip hop has been doing it for a while so it's cool to see legends like ZZ Top sample a rap song. The main problem is when fans of both genres dismiss each other (ZZ Top lovers dismiss rap as "ghetto" or Rap fans dismiss rock fans as "hicks") when ZZ Top was paying homage (I'm sure that DMD made sure that he got paperwork right before clearing the sample)
+Mytown Trill Yes Im very aware of Chuck Berry and Little Richard being the founding fathers of Rock n Roll but Rock n Roll is enjoyed by mostly whites now so blacks chose to concentrate on taking Motown, Blues, R&B and Hip Hop to higher levels. Because Rock n Roll is enjoyed by mostly whites now is why I mentioned race because some of the hateful comments about DJ DMD version is probably generated by whites but i still dont excuse the blacks for dissing ZZ Tops version in retaliation...all Im saying is end the hate because its probably mostly blacks and whites going back and forth on which version is better...I think 662chillin was on the same page as me when he thumbed up my first comment and replied...
IYKYK 💯 Man, brings back memories. My middle school teacher Mrs. Watts, was married to Michael Watts. He came to dj at our little pep rally lol. Been swangin’ & bangin’ ever since.

Love from Ohio..35% of my favorite music was made from the SUC.Went to Houston in November and I loved every minute of it.
This was 20 years ago,
Two decades ago 😳!!!
Shoutout from New Orleans! I remember when this first came out.
Man just watching the video and remembering how it was in the 90s makes me want to break down in tears.. I really do miss it..
R.I.P. H ..Town LEGEND gone to soon ...I remember at the club on Sunday nite back in 1998 n 1999 when this song come on club would go CRAZY..Great memories in HOUSTON TX.. FAT PAT
Love this record, classic. Sounds dope chopped and Screwed.
The first person to mention "25 lighters on my dresser yes sir : was mjg on the 8ball amd mjg on the on top of the world album which was released in the winter of 1996 . He said "280 pounds of hey every dam day got to testa 25 lighters on my dresser yes sir" and the hit song was born from this verse,
Christopher Nichols ..........bullsh*t homeboy..........lil keke said that sh*t on a DJ Screw tape before 8Ball & MJG said it.............with 8Ball & MJG being in Houston most of there career early on and with them knowing the Screwed Up Click and making a song with them H-Town rappers, it's safe to say that that MJB bar was influence by being around Houston rappers and D-Boys. #bet
no doubt! you mustnbe a young teacher or just 1 that appreciates good music. but regardless of what peace be on to you . shit, im listening to this now because my dog cease pu4 me onmto tuis. this shit is hard B.
+King Heff wrong comment mane 😂
+Dj Rockney lol, i dont know nigga, but I do know thisnshit bang tnough!
+Mytown Trill any idea what screw tape he said that on?
I looked up the zztop version, its not bad at all....Rappers sample RockNRoll/R&B beats all the time so why cant RockNRoll do it to rap?..I think it helps bring unity...
+loulou3t There's no problem with sampling. As you said, rap/hip hop has been doing it for a while so it's cool to see legends like ZZ Top sample a rap song. The main problem is when fans of both genres dismiss each other (ZZ Top lovers dismiss rap as "ghetto" or Rap fans dismiss rock fans as "hicks") when ZZ Top was paying homage (I'm sure that DMD made sure that he got paperwork right before clearing the sample)
Right on my brother no matter what race you are...!
+loulou3t Race? @662chillin didn't even mention race. By the way Blacks created both Rock n' Roll and Rap/Hip Hop....!
+Mytown Trill Yes Im very aware of Chuck Berry and Little Richard being the founding fathers of Rock n Roll but Rock n Roll is enjoyed by mostly whites now so blacks chose to concentrate on taking Motown, Blues, R&B and Hip Hop to higher levels. Because Rock n Roll is enjoyed by mostly whites now is why I mentioned race because some of the hateful comments about DJ DMD version is probably generated by whites but i still dont excuse the blacks for dissing ZZ Tops version in retaliation...all Im saying is end the hate because its probably mostly blacks and whites going back and forth on which version is better...I think 662chillin was on the same page as me when he thumbed up my first comment and replied...
+loulou3t Clear!
There’s absolutely nothing fake going on in this video this is a clear representation of the late 90’s in South Texas. MAAAAAAAN!!!!
