Title: The Way I Be Pimpin'
Post by: Trauma-san on July 18, 2001, 09:19:47 PM

Anybody Wanna Discuss This Track? I Think This Woulda Been Maybe The #1 Track On 2001, If Released... When Dre Does That Verse

"My Life's In The Fast Lane
That's When I Knew I Had Game
Class Came,
I Had Ho's And Didn't Know They Last Name
In School, When You Niggaz Was Tradin' Clothes
Me And My Niggaz Was Tradin' Ho's, Like, What They Fadin' For?"

That's Untouchable... All Hail King Royce, LOL...

MeToo, People Give Dre Hell For Not Writing, But When He Raps What Other People Write, It's Untouchable... Dre's Voice Just Perfectly Flows With THe Beat Usually...He Sounds Like A Heavyweight, Ya Know? He's Got The Same Thing RBX And Nate Dogg Have... Those 3 People Right There ALWAYS Sound Tight, It's In Their Voice.  Those Lyrics Are Nice, But They Wouldn't Be As Great If Dre Didn't Do It...

I Also Like The Part Where He Just Drops The Rhymin' ,....

"Pimp On THa Streetz, Pimp In My Sleep, And When I Snore, It Sounds Like, 'Where's My Money'?"

LOL I LOVE That...

shits dope .. did we ever discover whether this came out in any form?

i've got a reasonable rip from some mp3 group that said it was from a white label

yea i always liked that part too cuz it always kinda threw me off a lil bit.. another thing about dre, i can't remember the exact songs but like off of the dre bootleg he spits the same verse as sam sneed does on this one song but when dre does it, it sounds a thousand times cooler...

i think it was on a DJ clue album but wasn't it originaly from no seeds (2001 promo thingy)

It was off some type of promo before 2001 got released. There is also a verison of 'What's The Diffrence' with Hittman.

Way I Be Pimpin is good but it is not quite as good as the original XXPlosive.  I mean..come on..Nate Dogg absolutely kills that track.

Title: Re: The Way I Be Pimpin'

WAY I B..... IMO IS BETTA THAN XXPLOSIVE BY FAR

i prefer Xxplosive, Nate and Kurupt are unfadeable on there. "just pop your collar, pimp convention, hoes for a dollar".

Title: Re: The Way I Be Pimpin'
Post by: DatMuthasuckaDan on July 19, 2001, 08:48:32 AM

Imagine Nate dogg singing the chrous to "The Way I Be Pimpin"!!! Thats shit would be undefeatable!!! and imagine "The Way I Be Pimpin" having the same Nate Verse before the end of the song...OMG that shit would be crazy as hell!!!!

Post by: So Much Style on July 19, 2001, 10:48:53 AM

when i first heard way i be pimpin i thought it was nate on the chorus, but anyway i think if way i be pimpin was on 2001, it would have been a more boring track for me...but anyway, it wasnt off a promo...

"way i be pimpin"
"stay in your place"
"the throne is mine"
"whast the difference with hittman"

all leaked not on promos either
then the first tracks to leak that mde the album were "forgot about dre" and "Still D.r.e." in late july then still dre in early september i think

Title: Re: The Way I Be Pimpin'
Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on July 19, 2001, 11:21:07 AM

Wow! Still Dre leaked in july and september? Is There 2 versions? (sarcasm)...

Title: Re: The Way I Be Pimpin'
Post by: Trauma-san on July 19, 2001, 12:19:16 PM

I Just Can't Stand Kurupt On Xxxplosive... Nate Dogg Is Good On It Though.  I Like Way I Be Pimpin' Better, And I Think Royce Sounds Great On The Hook.  Nate Would Probably Sound Better Though, You're Right.

Post by: DreSnoop00 on July 19, 2001, 01:01:35 PM

damn this song is dope.. it shoulda been on 2001 royce comes tight on it.. and dre definutley does

Title: Re: The Way I Be Pimpin'
Post by: Trauma-san on July 19, 2001, 01:12:57 PM

I Think There's An Error In The Song Though, It Sounds Like RIGHT Before Dre Starts The First Verse, He Drop's About Half A beat To Make The Guitar Loop Perfectly.  Could Just Be Me Though.

Title: Re: The Way I Be Pimpin'
Post by: Rud on July 19, 2001, 01:16:29 PM

MY VERSION OF THE SONG IS SORT OF EDITED


NOT THE SWEARIN AND THAT BUT THEREIS A BIT WHERE ITS BLOCKED OUT...N E ONEELSE?


peace

Title: Re: The Way I Be Pimpin'
Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on July 19, 2001, 03:12:03 PM

You're right, there is an error, right before Dre starts the first verse the beat sounds scratched a lil tiny bit...Maybe the CD they copied it off was scratched...

Post by: b-PlEaSE on July 19, 2001, 04:18:33 PM

Not the CDq version

Title: Re: The Way I Be Pimpin'
Post by: oasisgnr on July 19, 2001, 04:20:05 PM

XXPlosive is much better...That can not be denied(http://www.mandymoore.com/photos/sec2/images/1100_3.jpg)

Title: Re: The Way I Be Pimpin'
Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on July 19, 2001, 04:57:56 PM
