CHAMILLIONAIRE

What does he say?

It's a shame that so few people are going to read this thread, really.

mike jones responded on his messageboard!! but he just said he's really rich and cham is a liar.

Go pull up soundscan you idiot..... YOUR first round draft pics album sold 51 thousand units TOTAL of a double cd you dickhead... Me and paul moved over 100, 000 of a single cd and got nominated for a source award...... And we didn't even mention the FACT that the GYMC cd was out of stock for months when SOUTHWEST Wholesale crashed.... Shut yo azz up when real niggaz is talkin...

MY CRIB IS BIGGER THAN YOURS AND ALL YOUR HOMIES COMBINED then since you wanna speak on show money. WE BANK AT THE SAME BANK HOMIE.... Ask the ladies at your bank about me and let them tell you how many times I make a deposit a week. They will tell you I'm official boy.... I own 4 vehicles and I Don't pay a car, bike, or truck note... I OWN... (Check the dvd coming wit my album) .... I Have my own office/ studio wit a pro tools setup that I have not even used yet... And we rarely ever step in the studio ....cuz we all have home studios....... I could rent studio time out to niggaz but I don't need their 50 dollars an hour homie...I'd rather have spiderwebs on my computers then have niggaz botherin us when we recordin.....BEFORE YOU START SPEAKIN BOUT MONEY GET SOME REAL MONEY....

Bump.

Why does that chameleon have to look so retarded?

i like mixtape messiah 3. apart from when he sings. was surprised to hear his little rant about how he doesnt really like or get inspired by music that much anymore though over the common beat... esp as just last time, he was saying how hip hop isnt dead etc.

Here's some awesome footage from the gig he did at the Hove festival here in Norway a few months ago. Yup. He's playing next to a barn.

Norway is apparently all the way gangsta. Good to know.

Was there really not a thread on "Ridin'" specifically? All I can find is it showing up in year-end countdowns.

Amazing song though. Got kind of killed by repeated plays but I remember hearing it for the first time, on the road from Atlanta to Athens after this big outdoor Flaming Lips/De La Soul show (the one that inspired this thread)...it came over the radio and we weren't really paying attention and gradually we were, and our conversation fell silent and we were kind of looking at each other like, holy shit, is that as good as I think it is? Always though the racial-profiling theme hit a little harder than you'd expect for a giant chart hit, and it gave the thing a good edge, on top of an obviously amazing hook and some solid rapping throughout. Also I love the really wobbly, weird intro, it's like the quiet windup for a sucker punch.

Then I spent a weekend dicking around with emily.s, watching the like twenty music channels on some jacked-up cable she'd inherited from a departed roommate, and the video was on constantly and gradually, any and everything we saw or heard was converted to the rhythm of the song. I can't really separate the track now from this spree of inspired in-jokes but that's not really Chamillionaire's fault.
