Yes.

it took me a while to 'get', but then i loved it. but now i never hear it anymore. although a few months ago i was watching a sportsnight rerun on comedy central and they were at a party dancing to what i assume is the sample source of it. er, does anyone know what that would be though?

While we're on the topic...I was driving home this morning and I heard his latest single "I'm A Thug." Nice. Producer?

― Jess, Wednesday, 15 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ethan, it's "Boogie Shoes" by... KC and the Sunshine Band.

Lately I think I've been listening to Trick Dad more than anything else currently on my hard drive. Although I haven't been able to bring myself to buy an actual album, as soon as I hear a single on the radio I have to run home and download the mp3. First it was "Take it to the house," then "I'm a thug" and now "Pull over" by Trina. I know this stuff cant be good for me, but I can't keep myself from coming back. So does anybody else think that Trick Daddy et al are poised to become the next Cash Money, or are they already?

Slip N Slide do my favorite sound, but I don't know if they're poised to take over commercially from Cash Money (whose releases this year are great, says Chuck Eddy, but I haven't heard them yet). Trick's the only one scoring hits that I know of (Trina's "Pull Over" peaked at 93). My favorite Trick Daddy tracks are "Nann Nigga" and "Tryin' to Stop Smokin'"; Book of Thugs is his most consistent LP; I like Trina's Baddest Bitch even more even though it's less consistent. I just love her voice and her words: Roxanne Shanté without sense. Her best tracks are "I Need" and "The Big Lick" and "Pull Over" (which isn't on the album). And "Nann Nigga," which is just as much hers as Trick Daddy's. And I love ILM to pieces for even having this thread. I though that "Nann Nigga" was obviously obviously the greatest hip-hop single of '99, and I voted for it in Pazz & Jop where it got a mighty three votes total. Sometimes I'm convinced that I live in my own universe.

Here's my official in-print musings on TD and T, if you're interested: here and here.

Frank - "Those Dogs" is absolutely amazing. Masterpiece Theatre = bizarre R&B album in that nearly all the really great tracks are in the second half.

The other excellent Trick & Trina collab-o is of course "Where U From" on Thugs Are Us. I love this sort of lachrymose bounce - other great examples being Ludacris' "Stick Em Up" and Hot Boys' "Help".

― Tim, Wednesday, 15 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

All I have to say is if Trina's album work is anything like that lame shit she drops in the video for "One Minute Man", then never mind.

"Take It To Da House" samples JB as well as KC: James Brown's "The Boss." (Or so says my editor.)

"Nann Nigga" and "Pull Over" are so so great

This is still great.

since kogan rightly mentioned it: righteous funk boogie s/d anyone?

― zemko (bob), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 18:33 (twenty-three years ago)

I've said it before and maybe it's corny but I love how this song actually takes it to a house beat. It's right inbetween house and hip hop and if I ever heard a DJ kewl enough to play this out that's probably where it would come in the set.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 15 April 2003 18:44 (twenty-three years ago)

It's amazing how far both Cash Money and Slip-n-Slide have fallen in two years. The most recent Trina and Trick records were pretty spotty--which is nothing on the wretched boringness of Baby's Birdman record. Also Lil Wayne's 500 Degreez was blah.

Scarily the New No Limit stuff is actually much more interesting--Choppa and the most recent P record.

Man, I totally love this song. I spent about two months last Autumn doing nothing but driving around Highway 81 with my friend listening solely to this track & the Luda/Trina collaboration (sp?) "B R Right", both so perfect, two sides of one coin that didn't wear out after two months of constant play.

"House" is golden and bubbling and fun, awesome! We thought they were saying "Time to get down with your Boise-O" and both really happy about that as it's our former home town. All pure classic, even the discomforting invitation to "let Money mark get off in your derrierre" (sp?). Man it's a great song.
