The lyrics, as I remember them, are:
"Everything is everything; it's all good. In my droptop Fleetwood, rollin' through th' hood. Everything is everything; it ain't nothin' but a chicken wing. Shorty do your thang."
This has been bothering me for a year straight.

Pretty sure those lyrics are right. Pretty sure stone gossard was in the video or at least on stage for a live version. I want to say it's Outkast. It's not outkast. This has been bothering me for five years.

dad a, Friday, 5 June 2009 02:29 (3 years ago) Permalink

Nope.
It really did sound like an Outkast track, not bassy at all.
I can actually sing the song in my head and it sounds like Sleepy Brown is singing. The cadence for the chorus is:

Everythang is Everythang
It's all good
In my drop top Fleetwood
Rollin' through the hood
Everythang is Everythang
(garbled garbled), it ain't
Nothin' but a chicken wang
Shawty do ya thang

I mean, I couldn't very well have made that up can I? I remember googling five years ago to find out what the fuck a drop top fleetwood was, cuz I don't know car culture so I don't think I would guess my way to that. Maybe I dreamed it.

Don't be too sure.

A while ago, I dimly remembered a Dylan style take off of "Ilkley Moore baht at", but all I could find was Bill Oddie's version which was a take on Joe Cocker's style. About a month later I remembered. It was me, one drunken evening...

Weapon of Choice were also on Loose Groove. Kinda P-Funk, kinda wacky, might have included a line like "ain't nothin' but a chicken wing..."

On September 5, 2008 the rapper was hospitalized and placed on life-support after he collapsed when his kidneys failed during a game of pickup basketball. On November 22, 2008, Breed reportedly died in his sleep while at a friend's home in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

I don't think there WAS a video; my hazy memory was watching this in high school (which is wrong, since this came out in 99 and i woulda been a college dropout by then so that's even weirder) on some sort of a live show with stone gossard sitting in with a rap group for a hotlanta style performance on MTV

The first time I ever heard Outkast was when Stone Gossard played "Ain't No Thang" on the radio when I was 14.

"Alright. That was - that was Weapon of Choice and they're out on Loosegroove records, which is a label I'm starting here in Seattle. And right now we're gonna listen to something else - we're gonna be playing some more Loosegroove stuff later in the night - but right now I really feel like we need to go to Atlanta and play some Outkast. This one goes out to Dirk and Lonnie. See ya."

I know I might be late but I too have been trying to figure out who sings that song for almost the past 10 years. I first heard the song maybe my sophomore or junior year in high school. It went like "Anything you wanna do, it's all good ridin drop top fleetwood thru the hood, everything is everything....(something,something) nothing but a chicken wing,shorty do your thang". To me it sounded like Jazzy Phae was on the track singing that hook. So I too would like to know & I'm a big music head...been that way since birth. But um yeah the hook keeps playing very clear in my head & it does sound like a down south song similar to Tela's "Bring em out" song.
