Drive slow is a MASTERPIECE
Without a doubt
I agree
Huge Facts
Video too!
From Start 2 Finish!
“It’s a star studded event when I valet park. Open up my mouth and sunlight illuminates the dark”🔥🔥🔥
Mannnnnn
Nostalgia
Such a playa line man
“You see them 4's crawlin
You see them screens fallin
The disco ball in my mouth insinuates I'm ballin'”
Bro, you made my day with this bar. Wall bodied that ! Love all the way from The Bronx.
"A young Houston hard hitter, all about my skrilla, Riding something candy coated crawling like a caterpillar" Bars so hard bruhhhhh
Love paul walls energy. Dude a legend. Had me putting foil in my mouth tryna shine
Forreal, Paul Wall and Nelly were some of the biggest innovators of the Grill movement, without them, it wouldn't have been the same.
Ha I remember saving the bubble gum foil wrap for a grill as a little kid
💯
Embarrassing memories in high school doing this. I remember I had these cheap grills with cuts in it and I lost it at lunch biting into a nasty burger only throw both away.
Gum wrappers
Paul is a legend and he absolutely killed Drive Slow
He did man
Legendary verse just listening the other day
Legend 😂

2005 was seriously the craziest year in music for Houston. Freshman albums or just new albums from Paul wall, chamillionaire, slim thug, Z-Ro, trae, Mike Jones, ugk and even Kanye. He's not from the H but drive slow had alot to do with people bumping that album down here. Such good times
You talking about the aftermath of 90s hip hop, by the 2000s hip hop u had more money in it then ever before or after they were actively searching for and developing dope artists and the cream really rose to the top looking back there’s so much music but the gems are innumerable
They definitely promoted gangsters but Kanye was different
Those were good times. Im from ATL but I was on a Houston kick in 05 lol
You get it...also 50 cent wave still going we saw the clash happen kanye vs 50. I remember all radio playing both albums for hours. Bun B on so many collabs songs when PiMp C came out
Yes 100% and all of the original music that came out in that PERIORD was revolutionary!!!!!! All the bullshit now is stupid
Every time I hear Paul Wall's "What it do?" on the track, I crank that shit up in the ride
The peoples champ
This man is an excellent speaker. Barely any ‘umms’ or filler words like ‘like’ at all. 👍🏽. Drive slow is a masterpiece. Goat.
Paul Wall is so underrated. This dude wordplay is top tier.
Not overusing the word underrated for every single artist is underrated
Thank you. I been sayin this about wall
One of my Top 5 songs of all time. Since the song came out, every time I buy a new car, the first song I play is Drive Slow. Been doing it for YEARS.
teach me how to hustle like you brother
This is one of hip hop's hardest verses low-key
Gotta be top 100
Yea, i can always play drive slow and immediately get in my big sofa lounge big boy gorilla grip on the peanut butter reins when Paul walls verse is kicking
It was
So true. Sometimes when I reminisce, I go back to the album and play the track major or drive slow. At random with it. Album fav for sure. Cant think of his many that would top it, for me.
Paul Wall's verse on "Drive Slowed" is str8🔥🔥🔥!
No doubt baby
“The disco ball in my mouth insinuates I’m ballin” 🔥🔥

“A young Houston hard hitter all about the scrilla riding something candy coated crawlin like a caterpillar”
He might take you off donda. But that was the new Orleans Kanye west. He got millions of attitudes depends on who he is or what he is doing or what he is feeling or thinking. That's Kanye
Paul Wall always in a good mood, love the vibes.
neva seen em frown !!
Paul seems like such a genuine person
I love hearing stories about the making of these classics I grew up to.
You need to pump your brakes and drive slow homie! Classic!
Drive Slow is one of my favorite songs of all time. I don't get why Kanye and Paul didn't make more songs together.
Lol the way he explained how he writes and can be off tempo a little puts a lot of his songs in perspective 😂 you can tell when he did it
I always loved his verse on that track he laid the hell out of that
Underrated verse.
2005 was the best year for Houston rappers. Paul Wall, Slim Thug, Mike Jones, Bun B, Chamillionaire, Z-Ro all dropped bangers that year
Paul a legend ! True hustler !! I still remember him pushing his music in 02’ in the green Sonics Rashad Lewis jersey everyday
Rashard & Paul 2 Htown legends💪🏽
I love drive slow. Kanye’s verse reminds me of a friend growing up. He’d carry his stereo face, had some money. Love that song
Drive slow is one of the most enjoyable and cohesive songs I've ever heard , regardless of genre. The Beat, the features, the bars .. the subject matter just, all of it. 🔥🔥🔥
Old Kanye was the best ever. I still bump Drive Slow and Addiction, such underrated songs!!
Gone was it for me
Addiction hit different now that I’m older
Addiction is so so good, one of my all time favorite Kanye songs
Sittin Sideways is a GOAT as is, one of my ALL time favorites. Paul Wall first two verses and Big Pokey were FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The verse on sittin sideways one of my favorites til this day 💯
The version with T.I. is the absolute best. they should’ve used that for the album
Lookin at life thru my rear view
All the problems I had
Could been seen a lot clearer
After time had passed
I remember sellin' crack faster than I could bag it
Just sharin' my past wit ya shawty, I ain't e'en braggin'
I never thought that I'd make it this far rappin'
For introducin' the youth to what we now call trappin'
Considered now a classic, who'da imagined?
T.I’s verse was dope but I think the verse wasn’t ready for when late registration dropped so they added on as a “remix” later
This story showed me that once you sign a deal you pretty much lose all creative control
Love stories like this . Shows the whole background of one song 💛
Paul Wall got bars!!! 🔥🔥🔥
This man is a legend. He’s so crisp and clean.
Being from San Antonio and seeing someone I use to bump way back in the "Get Yo Mind Correct" and "Controversy Sells" days to on a song with Kanye was crazy
I heard Drive Slow for the 1st time a few days ago. I've played it over a 100 times since.
Drive Slow is such a masterpiece.
Drive Slow is a dope song and Paul Wall is definitely official. Always liked his flow.
Cool to see a rapper just happy to be involved and appreciating the cool shit that happened to get there.
"...and I could still catch boppas if I drove a cab..." -Paul Wall (Drive Slow)
Paul murdered Drive Slow. I love that damn song 🔥🔥🔥
Paul Wall is the business 👏👌 Little Rock been bumping brobro since early 2000 got every verse he ever spit on tape ...cd ... Playlist... frfr even that corney movie he was in lol We see ya Paul!!!Love is contagious!!!GODS blessings be upon us all!!!AMEn-n-AmEN!!!
It’s ya boy Paul willican, fly like a pelican, inside my skin is a Versace skeleton - Paul Wall on one of them many mixtapes he was on in the late 90s/early 2000s , either w/ Swisha House or Color Changin Click
Well paul wall just came out with a new album and i like it. True hip hop 👌
The peoples champ. I remember this dude from my teen years, I used to bump his music.
Yo Paul wall I got so much respect for you big bro one of the legends salute brother south legend 💪🏽
One of the best songs and album for me too. Paul was on it when they laid that track.
For those too young Punk'd was a MTV show in the early 2000's
Fun fact, Pac already used that same sample for ''Shorty Wanna Be a Thug'' classic too!!
That fact was more interesting than fun
@@user-wb7nv9ht1g To me it's fun knowing these things, but hey there you have it, I hope you find it interesting, peace.
@@johndavid5883 After you put it that way I also find it a fun fact. May you live long and prosper!
It’s playing in my head rn
@@user-wb7nv9ht1g Thank you bro, you too!
You can tell this man is a stand up dude.
Salute PW..
That verse is a classic
Been listening to that song on repeat for the past week. Loved it since the first time I heard it. PW verse is murderous.
pall wall is known to walk on records. you might wanna hear his verse first before you do your own.
In 2005 Houston a had moment bringing grills to mainstream…from slim thug..lil flip…mike jones..chameleonaire..etc was very important at that time…timeless
trae the truth ,ZRO
Pimp C
I always wondered why Paul's verse was more literal than Kanye's on Drive Slow and this explains it. I always thought the juxtaposition was dope.
I always thought that as well. goes well together.
That Wildflower sample is a classic
Definitely one of my favorite songs 🔥
Sometimes it takes a lot to make a classic song 💯
The horns on that song will change your mood. 😎
This song brings me back to some good times
I knew it I’ve been saying this verse fit sitting sideways for years.
One of my fav songs ever ... 🎶 back then if you had a car you was the Chi town version of Baby and I was just a Virgin a baby 🎵🎶
I always wanted him to hop back on some straight hip hop shit. Finally he did a whole album of it and it’s fired
If I wasn't seeing who this was talking like this, I would automatically think that's a black man from the south talking like that. Damn, this dude has soaked up the culture soooo comprehensively. Got damn! Astounding!
One of my favourite songs ever. I always thought Paul Walls song 😎😎
I always thought the verse would go on sittin sideways, always noticed the similarities think they even share some vocabulary. It all makes sense now
Sittin sideways is a classic and So is drive slow
Drive Slow is simply amazing.
Love hearing shit like this 🔥
Driving home from work in Chicago this was a must play.
Got nothing but love for Paul Wall and Drive slow
Clearly the planets aligned just right cause Drive Slow is one of my all-time favorite songs and Paul Wall's verse is the best verse on it!
Paul Wall seems like a cool dude. Gonna watch Drive Slow now
I still bump that track 🙌🏼
Paul is a legit legend
"The disco ball in my mouth insinuates I'm ballin'"... One of the coldest verses ever
hearing drive slow makes me miss my caddy when i was 19 years old, first car, stuntin 💯💯
Straight up classic
“So I guess the moral of this here classic, life’s about who make it not about who make it the fastest, drive slow homie”. I always loved T.I. verse on that song.
Love that track and Late Registration. Shouts to WLLD 94.1 Tampa Bay yeeee 🌴
I remember the first time hearing this song in class my buddy Dustin heard it the night before and absolutely had to Have me here at the next day and ever since it’s been one of my favorites ever it’s one of my top 10 rap songs. And Paul killed his verse. That song is what kind of made me start noticing Kanye West back in the day. late registration was his best album
One of the best verse of all time!
