i love the way the beat comes in, with the little plastic chopsticks on coffee mugs thing and like it's going to be some kind of siamese cats song thing until the real drums come on, all really slow verses that are easy to speak along with and usually suggest obvious hand motions (you niggas can't handle me, flippin up in the humvee [open palm-- like it's on the top of a steering wheel-- steering motion]/yall niggas don't try to hate on me cause i'm blindin [blink eyes a couple times, like you just looked into a bright light and got blinded]/niggas want gold teeth [bare teeth] or should i say one [index finger indicating one, rest of hand all closed up and motionless, don't break that gesture], raise the roof [move that pointing index finger up and down a couple times]/pop the trunk, nigga [bring your other hand up, and do the same index finger pointing, turn the backs of both hands toward the audience and do the same upward gesture as the 'raise the roof' one but with both hand] show and prove)--- and one of those perfect, slow, deliberate lil flip verses that rides the beat perfectly and reminds you why he's your favorite rapper (i'm going to type it out, so you can rap along when you get it): check me out. i stay in the clover, i push a grey range rover / down south we known for pourin drank in a plain soda / ridin on chrome, blowin indo sweets / escalades, jaguars, and benzo jeeps / we ball too much, screens fall too much / when hoes see me in the mall they yall too much / cause i shop til i drop, i shop til i'm broke / but you can do that when you get 10 a show / my paper got larger, now i'm a credit card charger / i used to have white teeth now my platinum grill sparkle / my pool table marble, fish tank 20 feet / who the richest?? bill gates, donald trump, then it's me / you know my click, peep the watch on my arm / yall still wearin crush, i got blocks on my charm / i'm a million dollar star with a million dollar kiss / and by the way, i'm lil flip out the screwed up click.

I like how it reminds me of down in the boondocks! i like the way the verses cut between fast little runs and then slow bits, especially in that "raise the roof" verse. and the "its on" verse which rilly plays off the melody. i also like how flip tries so hard to make fishtanks big status symbols.

i'm glad you like it.
fish tanks are kind of gangsta, though. you have them in your office when you're a mob boss.

and then you hold someones hand over it when they dont pay you and they whimper and you dont feed their precious, precious hand to the carnivorous fish.
