If you were putting together a classic mix CD featuring Houston rappers, what songs would have to be on it?

I'll start with:

Lil Keke - Southside
Lil Keke - Still Pimpin Pens (Screwed)
Fat Pat - Tops Drop
DJ DMD - 25 Lighthers
Geto Boys - My Mind Is Playing Tricks on Me
Mad Hatta - Down South
Mike Jones - Still Tippin
Z-Ro - Mo City Don Freestyle

slim thug - wood grain wheel
paul wall and chamillionaire - N Luv With My Money

Not bad. Here are some more well-known hits:

Big Mike - "Playa, Playa"
Lil' Flip - "I Can Do Dat"
Yungstar - "Knockin' Pictures Off the Wall"
Wreckshop Family - "Power Up"
Lil' Troy - "Wanna Be A Baller" <--- Because you have to.
Hawk - "You Already Know" (maybe "H-Town Stomp"
Paul and Cham - "N Luv Wit My Money"
SPM - "Hustletown" (don't care what you say, he ran the city from 1998-2000)
AJ 003, Wine-O, some other dudes - "Down Here"


Of course, this is not counting any UGK songs. All their songs are classics.

prolly should thrown in an esg track.

E.S.G. - "Swangin' and Bangin'"

First big song to used a screwed-up hook. 1995 definitely in the house.

Point Blank - My Mind Went Blank

Slim Thug and Boss Hogg Outlawz - Ride on 4's
Scarface - I Seen a Man Die
5th Ward Boyz - P.W.A.
Tela - Sho Nuff
UGK - One Day

I'm a little out of my element here, but I think you have to include, 'Sittin in the Harris County jail'.

Bald Headed Hoes

Tela has an H-pass, but he's not from Houston.

A few others:

Botany Boyz - "Thought Of Many Ways"
C-Note - "Diamonds In Your Face"
Lil' O - "Back, Back"

Scarface - "Let me Roll"
Woss Ness ft Big Pokey and Lil Keke - "Bangin' Screw"
Woss Ness ft H.A.W.K. and SPM - "Who dat"
South Park Mexican - "Block of Rock"
Slim Thugg - "Wanna Be a Baller Freestyle"
Devin The Dude - "Boo Boo'n"

Fat Pat - "Say What"
June 27
K-Rino "Who's The Man"
Guerilla Maab "Fondren & Main"
Fat Pat "Tops Drop"
Slim Thug "Northside Flow"

i might have to burn a few of those and sell em out my trunk.

Slim Thugg - "Wanna Be a Baller Freestyle"

I'm bout to set a trend
I hit tha I-10
Me and Slim Thug and Michael Watts in the Benz
Sippin on Hen
Talkin bout paper
1999 Swisha House roll wit playas

Pop My Trunk - Paul Wall & Wino (this song is hilarious screwed)
Chunk up the deuce - Bun B et al.
G-Code - Paul Wall et al

appreciate all the suggestions...I was thinking how D-town seems to be hot right now with Lil Wil,Big Tuck, and Tum Tum, and it got me started thinking about putting together a mix CD with all the H-tine classics.

D-town rap

D-town, period.

D-Town rap. Mr. Pookie had a couple of good ones, but other than that they got nothing.

Puddy.... My favorite line out of that song is "I wanna float overseas in a candy coat boat".

D-town rap....




snicker

the d.o.c. was from dallas and definitely had potential before his injury. never understood why there aren't any decent rappers out of dallas.

The D.O.C. could have been the best gangster rapper ever. Just bad luck.

i like that new song "gotta gutta b*tch" from Trai D out of dallas. kind of got a boosie and webbie feel to it. great video.

This thread is missing so many good songs. You all should be ashamed:

UGK - Cocaine in the back of the ride
UGK - Front, back, and side to side
UGK - Pcoket full of stones

ESG - The South
ESG - Two Glocks Two Hos

Street Military - Gasta Get Paid
Street Military - Don't Give a Dam
Street Military - Kick Door Burglars
Street Military- Another Hit

Bam - Eyes Open (remix)

AceDuece - Throwin Up the Deuce

Gang Society - New Order Slaughter

Geto Boys - Assassins

Blac Moncs - Rumble in the Jungle

1/2 Dead Organization - These Streets

Fakkulty - Lost Generation

Rob G - Reppin my block (he's friends with my wife, and I also happen to like this song)

Trinity Garden Cartel - Gangsta Stroll

I'm sure there are more. This is such a good topic.

I thought UGK was excluded.

UGK - I'm So Bad

PAT =/= H-Town

Great thread

The UGK moved to Houston. They are Houston. In "Pocket Full of Stones Part 2" Bun B talks about buying a house by Willowridge. This is Houston/Mo City.

SPM - You Know My Name & Wiggy

Not a damn song from DJ Screw? Don't forget about Chingo Bling.

quote:

---

I drop the top on the lex again,
It wouldn't be h-town without mexicans

---

DJ Screw is on "Still Pimpin Pens" w/ Lil Keke

I also forgot to throw in the "I'm a G" remix with Lil Keke feat. Scarface & "Man" by the Wreckshop Family

Classic screw line out of pimpin' pens
" the devils beneath me
cuz god ain't no stopping me
its syrup not hennessy
blowing up independently
I done screwed up the industry"

SPM - "stay on yo grind"
Pimp C ft Scarface, Willie D, and Bun B - "Rock 4 Rock"

Lil O, Fat Pat, Yungstar - "Rags 2 Riches"
SPM - Streets On Beets
SPM - Runaway

Let me know where I can score Volumes I and II of the H-town mixes.

Word.
