This song did not age well, imo. Pimp C and Bun B verses saved the fukk outta this song.

I respect that. What's your reasoning? Beat's trash now? Jay-Z's verse?
Remember Some c00n on the school bus dogging the fukk outta the sample Jay-Z used in this right before it dropped.

Pimp C proved that a lot of times Swag and the way you say it > lyrical wordplay
Pimp C shytted on one of the best lyricist in his prime and on his own track.
every time?
and Pimp C didn't shyt on Jay-Z. Jay-Z's verse is crucial. If anything, he shytted on Bun B.
I heard this on the radio today and I was turnt in my whip
This is easily a top 10 all-time Jay-Z record. It's basically Jay-Z's "Nas Is Like" in terms of that wow factor.
I remember @the cac mamba talking about how Jay-Z never reaches "depth awe" like Nas. And I agree. But Big Pimpin is a perfect example of how Jay-Z completely shattered Nas in the swagger and beat selection department. Jay-Z's awe is his swagger.
A perfect example of a genius beat, and I'm glad I was in high school to witness this shyt. First time I heard it, I thought I was in Ancient Egypt surrounded by dimes (and this is before the legendary video came out). Timbaland was way ahead of the curve. The bounce of that beat is basically modern hip hop, just faster. That's why DJs can still play it alongside modern shyt. The beat blew me away in '99, and it's aged like fine wine.
All 3 spit classic verses. But the award goes to Pimp. I was blown away by that flow. I'd never heard anything like it. I thought UGK were a bunch of randoms, only to find out they were big artists in their region.
Thoughts? Stories?
Thoughts? UGK ain't nothing to fukk with.

Mainly the beat. Hov's production on volume 2 and volume 3 did not age well at all.
Chapter 21 in Pimp C's book about this song was so dope to read. Seeing Pimp's reaction to this beat on some "Let me do the beat, Timbaland wasted his time with this trash", to everyone and their momma telling Pimp to the song and he was still like fukk Jay-Z, pay me $60,000 yo front, throw in some Rocawear clothes.
And he's only getting 8 bars.
It was cool though to read Pimp call up Big Gipp asking him if it was cool for him to use his flow for this song
and Gipp has no idea what the fukk he was talking about.

every time i think of that shyt. that and him stealing Gloria Velez for the weekend after he found out Jay was planning on using her.
Aight. What do you consider good production that aged well? and good modern day production (within the last 6 years)?
