If he's status ain't hood, I ain't checking for him...

[mrken12]

this is terrible when u really think about it

I was in high school and I knew that this song was bullshyt from day one.

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

Beyonce owes her whole career to foolish hoodrats.

 

[Sad Bunny]

Yea he somewhat did. This song helped keep his name out there since his verse was slightly better than T.I's

I also remember this as being Lil Wayne's comeback track. He had completely fallen off the map till this song came out.

nope

this dropped after Tha Carter

and we all know what Tha Carter did for Weezy

 

[Tommy Knocks]

Everytime some kind of singing or rnb comes on the radio I turn the knob.

I've never heard this song before. :mannypac:

 

[mrken12]

I didn't like the song but Wayne did have a stellar verse.

"If you don't see me in the hood, I ain't tryinna hide
I blend in with the hood, I'm camoflauge,
Bandana tied, so mami run my troop
Now, every time she say my name, she salute"

That's supposed to be stellar?

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

A lot of "soldiers" strayed from their home base.

So true!

nope

and we all know what Tha Carter did for Weezy

Well, let's say his return to the mainstream. That was the 1st video he was on right? Or did he have videos for tracks off Tha Carter too?

Not surprised. Song is almost 10 years old so I'm not surprised some people don't know it or remember it.

 

[Nintendough]

My status was hood but I was the hood weirdo since I watched toonami and listened to system of a down.

 

[mrken12]

This song won them a Soul Train Award. Don C. lost.

 

[MikelArteta]

lets see all these positive messages destiny child spread for black women


You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Oh silly me, why haven't I found another



Ladies leave yo man at home
The club is full of ballas and
They pockets full grown
And all you fellas leave yo girl
With her friends
Cause its 11:30 and the club is
Jumpin, jumpin


Tell me what you think about me
I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings
Only ring your cell-y when I'm feelin lonely
When it's all over please get up and leave


If your status ain't hood
I ain't checkin' for him
Betta be street if he lookin' at me
I need a soldier
That ain't scared to stand up for me
Known to carry big things
If you know what I mean
If your status ain't hood
I ain't checkin' for him
Betta be street if he looking at me
I need a soldier
That ain't scared to stand up for me
Gotta know to get dough
And he betta be street

destinys child whole steeze kept set back alot of black women who thought being independent, i don't need no man, i'm strong as they end up broke living in the ghetto.

That Independent Woman song pisses me off. It gassed up the heads of a lot of black women. They still haven't recovered. Catchy song though.

 

[Malik]

Im from the hood, so I was

Until girls expected me to do some real hood sh*t

I was just born broke. I'm not really a gangsta ma

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

So he was lying then?

I cannot confirm but I can tell you thugs do not last very long out on the streets and turn into Mr. Rodgers when they prosper the way Jay-Z fortunately did. Thug and drug dealer are not synonymous. The first drug dealers in the hood were pimps. Crack pushed pimps out and gangstas (rather thugs) took over.

 

[Poitier]

I know that

you like thugs?
