Slim Thug, Mike Jones & Paul Wall - “Still Tippin’” (Swishahouse 2003)
Still perfect. Paul Wall might be something of a punchline today but he’s the star of this track. And talk about taking a phrase that’s rarely heard and flipping it into a daily word - folks are still saying “internet goin’ nuts” some seven years later. Not many artists or writers can have that sort of impact on language.
Best Houston rap song of the 2000’s.
R.I.P. DJ SCREW & HAWK.
“Put mo’ ice on my body than Frosty Man creepin’ through Candy Land” - Al-D
Watch for the exact moment Al-D goes into auto pilot wreck zone after that line. Priceless.
“I done sailed the Atlantic, swam the Pacific / Sold a bird in Egypt, threw it up in hieroglyphics” - Hawk
Niggas standin’ round the living room, having fun, flowin’ around the big screen TV while sippin’. #H-Town
Southside Still Holdin’, you stupid bitch.
“Pinche Rudolph, Bullwinkle…” One of my favorite Christmas songs of all-time. @ChingoBling aka Chingo Clause is one of the funniest niggas in rap music today.
One of my favorite Screw mixes. All R&B and Soul, classics and 90’s hits (aka the new classics). On here you’ll find Kellz, Teddy P, Janet, Bobby, Keith Sweat, Jodeci, and more goin’ fed. My favorites off here are “I Wanna Be Down” by Brandy and “Bump and Grind” (Remix) by R. Kelly. Peep this immediately. Make the above image larger to check the track listing.
Time Slots!!! Plan your day & come check out your favorite local artists!!!

My latest release, “Screwed Up Summer,” is now available for download in two different formats: chopped and screwed, or the original version for you softies. This project differs from my previous mixes as it is more of a mix-tape format as opposed to the party rocking DJ mix. If you happen to be a blogger that is interested in posting this mix, please feel free to use the Soundcloud links below.

“I like to wreck, I accept a check”
“I’m the first nigga that did a concert on stage in my PJ’s”
“Come back, got a contract / got a car and it’s a compact / nigga say we gon’ go to the show with three CDs and one DAT”
“Get the room, call these hoes / I fuck these hoes and I have to chief / If you from the south you gon’ get / all yo shoes from Active Athlete / Go to Stickhorse and get my records / Play these hoes just like it’s checkers / Go get me a double decker / then watch the Nutty Professor”
“I got DVDs, I got GMCs, LL, EPMD / man, fuck them niggas, Freestyle King, nigga, he is me”
Y’all may never understand how important flowin’ was in Houston rap from the 1990’s to the mid 2000’s. If you couldn’t genuinely flow off the dome in front of niggas at any given time you weren’t shit no matter how good your written, recorded songs were.
In L.A. underground, from what I’ve heard and seen, they were all about the speed of your delivery and keeping shit a bit lyrical/thought provoking on a seemingly intellectual level. In Texas all niggas cared about was the FLOW and how smooth you could go with and stay entertaining. It was nothing political or socially conscious or even that stereotypically gangsta most of the time; just keeping up with the flow, being a little humorous and going on and on and on. It’s artistic but more Flip Wilson than Huey Newton. Lil’ Flip built his name off being the “freestyle king” coming out with shit like this all the time while he was at Worthing High School in Sunnyside. I wonder if he still got it.
Another interesting thing about the California and Texas underground scenes were how damn D.I.Y. they were. Look at the king of southern rap music mixtapes DJ Screw. This man made mixes, produced tapes, and distributed right out of his own home. With no label or promo backing him for most of his releases. Houston got more of a D.I.Y. culture in rap music than it ever did in punk rock.

This shit is goin’ down. K-Rino of the legendary South Park Coalition + Fat Tony + Hollywood Floss + GFC + damn near every local rap artist that’s doing something in Houston. I haven’t been excited about playing an all rap show in Houston in years but I’m really looking forward to this. This event is a perfect example of bringing together the scene for artists, fans, and curious folks that have heard of the artists playing but never got a chance to check them out.
I had a 15 year old kid come up to me at a show last night telling me he’s a fan. I told him to come out to a late night party I was performing at but unfortunately he said his mom had to pick him up at 11:00pm. She must be one of them 11 o’clock niggas (1:02 in the video if you dare to click the link). Anyway, he let me know he’d be at Fly Fest for sure to catch me and it almost brought a tear to my eye. The youth still cares about 20-something local rappers.
Purple Bastard is a producer and event organizer in town that’s putting this thing together and he’s doing a damn good job with the line-up and promo for it. He’s got a blog where he’ll be posting video interviews with Fly Fest artists regularly until the show on September 25.
Come out and support September 25 at Walter’s.
