Somebody helped me figure out what fucking song this is!

Honestly, I thought this WAS outkast, but I own all the albums and it's not on there. I vaguely remember the video with the bassist from Pearl Jam hangin' with the band.

I'm gonna check on that nappy roots suggestion.

four years? Still? anyone? Google leads me nowhere.

you still offerin' that free gmail account?

ha, yeah, it's all yours if you can help.

Not Nappy Roots then?

Wouldn't the "google leads me nowhere" mean there's a lot of misheard words? So some of those lyrics aren't right. Let's see...

http://www.mp3lyrics.org/m/mack-10/do/ ("everything is everything" would have to be "do the damn thang" for this one, no Fleetwoods or chickens) ?

http://www.lyricsondemand.com/y/youngbloodzlyrics/downheyainthesouthlyrics.html ?

http://www.requestlyrics.com/read.php?1,692912,739255 ?

Not the Mack 10
Not Youngbloodz
Definitely not Trae and 3-6.
This would've come out between 90 and 94?

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.

i do like that youngbloodz cut tho'.

OK, next time someone interviews Stone Gossard, we all know what the first question is going to be.

Is it Baby D, Slammin Cadillac Doors?

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

Seriously, this has been bothering me for about a decade now. It's my litmus test as "the thing I can't find out about on the internet".

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...

Find Stone's email address (or info@pearljam dot com or something) and ask him? Promise to donate $50 to one of his charities if he answers?

The too short connection sounds likely: left coasters both.
Just listened to complete MIIS sndtrk and it's not on there.

Maybe it was a one-time live improv lyric :-(

OK, live performance on TV with someone from Pearl Jam on or near the stage: does this 1992 Lollapalooza lineup help?

Main Stage: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, Ice Cube, Soundgarden, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Pearl Jam, Lush

Side Stage: Jim Rose Circus, Sharkbait, Archie Bell, Porno for Pyros, Basehead, Cypress Hill, House of Pain, Sweaty Nipples, Arson Garden, Seaweed, Seam, Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E., The Look People, Stone Temple Pilots, The Vulgar Boatmen, Truly, Skrew, Tribe, The Authority, Samba Hell, Café Tacuba, Rage Against the Machine

no, it was on MTV in the early 90's; in-studio live show as i recall though I might be crazy. I guess Boo Yaa Tribe is a possibility?

Just to be sure: which one of these people was it? (you said bassist and Gossard upthread, but those are two different people)

http://www.earyago.com/sites/dmeyer/_files/Image/pearl%20jam.jpg (big pic)

(first three: Stone Gossard (glasses), Mike McCready (used to be blond and a lot heavier, has some kind of bowel thing), Jeff Ament (sometimes seen with goatee, hat) )

wow 3/5ths of pearl jam lookin terrible these days

It was a one time watch over 15 years ago; I remember it being Stone, but I'm honestly not sure. Might be a false part of the memory, might by Ament. Mostly I remember the song.

Not your answer, but it's clear that Gossard loves being the rap king of Seattle.

Q: Steve, you've played with a lot of different people. What's the key to working with different personalities?

STEVE: I like to think I'm versatile enough to mix into any situation. I should be able to, I've had enough training.[Laughs.] I've played behind all different types of male and female singers and groups. I've gone from one extreme of playing jungles with 50-piece orchestra to doing Booker T. & The MG's with three other guys. I'm a very commercial guy, I love to listen to the radio. This Ace Of Base is driving me crazy. I can listen to it all day long.

STONE: You're not into the new Snoop Doggy Dogg, though?

STEVE:[Frowns.] I don't think so.

STONE: "Gin And Juice," the baddest groove in years. Lately I don't listen to rap that much but I did when NWA, Public Enemy, and Ice Cube came out. That's probably where I got my funk grooves... My playing is either second generation via Jimmy Page ripping off black artists, or it's rap grooves that are sampled from the '70's and '60's.

Oh Stonepaws

dude you made this verse up in a dream

def in the mood to listen to outkast now

Another shot in the darkness of your subconscious: Pearl Jam/Cypress Hill, "Real Thing," off Judgment Night?

Because apparently they performed this as part of the 1993 MTV New Years Eve special.
http://kurtcobain.com/interviews/sleepless-in-seattle-melody-maker/

no, thanks though. Man that Judgement Night album is so so so bad.
I feel like the Pearl Jam thing is a red herring.

I have a song I've been trying to find out what it is it goes "bom bom bom BOM BOM bom bom bom -bup-pup- BOM *huh* d'goh BOM wakka BOM BOM BOM".

It's driving me nuts. Anyone?

Sorry no more drunk posting for me. Back to your Fleetwoods, mac daddies.

THAT'S IT!
no, actually it's not.

This is one of my favorite raps.

you have to give us more of a clue.

Seriously thinking about getting a Ten Club membership to get an insider's perspective.

It's $20 dollars - maybe in the New Year.

xp: sorry, I just have it stuck in my head.

forksclovetofu:

did you know that in the early 90s, Stone Gossard ran a small record label called Loose Groove (or Loosegrooves) that had a rap band on it called "Prose and Concepts"? I don't have time to look into them atm, but thought maybe this will help your search.

good lookin' out. Critters Buggin seems possible.

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..."

Off The Heezy!

Goddamn. That is funky. I am happy for Forks now. ILM comes through again.

GODDam

HOLY FUCK THIS IS IT

I SWEAR TO FUCK I'M GOOSEBUMPING AND TEARING UP I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR yeEARS

HOLY FUCK

OH DUDE SO IMPORTANT TO ME

dude thank you so much

oh i am going to listen to this all day

zip11 i owe you a gmail account

lol, 7 years yesterday. amazing.

so this is Jazzy Pha production?

man this completely made my day in every way

god i was off by like five years in when I thought i heard this! gonna be downloading a LOT of breed today
i will cop to not really knowing this guy at all except by name.

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.

oh that goddamn bassline
i gotta go into work but again thank you.

RIP

he references g-mob on the track, this must've been an outkast thing on mtv where dungeon fam was performing and breed did a guest track.... is khujo on this song? i can't even tell
oh fuck so happy to hear this again it's like i finally scratched an itch that i've had for YEARS

And maybe Stone was hanging with them on the show? So weird that i only remember hearing this ONCE and it's stuck with me for over a decade.

zip11 if you are a sock you are my favorite sock of all time

The guy dying while you were seeking him/his song is kinda reminiscent of second/third-gen. Holocaust memoirs. Makes the discovery more poignant, maybe.

Goddamn. That is funky. I am happy for Forks now. ILM comes through again.

do you think you were imagining/misremembering the part about Stone Gossard? I don't see any evidence that there was a video for this song or a Pearl Jam connection. what an awesome lost & found story though.

it could be in my head! 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

Breed is great, had some play in the bay area even tho he was a Michigan dude.

Funkafied is the album I would suggest, the whole thing fits the vibe of that track you discovered.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7Qr7BbxT8o

A+ title edit!

this whole thing makes me happy

i pulled the mp3 of the youtube before i left the house and have listened to this 30+ times since
i was saying hello and smiling at total strangers on the streets of new york this morning i was so goddamn happy
it is playing now
it will not stop playing

ILX can change a life

haha, is this the biggest ILM success of all time, or the biggest failure? 7 years is just amazing!

wasn't there another long-running thread where someone was trying to ID a movie about a dude with a magician's hat or something? did that one ever get solved?

wow, really feelin this love

Holy crap. Well done!

Need to identify this eighties/early nineties film.

Still haunts me to this day

me too!

me too. last year, i spent hours into days trying to track it down on imdb.

forget it guys, it's tuomas

AIN'T BUT TWO WAYS TO GET SHIT
RUN UP AND GO BALLISTIC
OR GET WHAT YOU WANT
THROUGH PERSISTENCE

Great new screen name, Forks! I remember selling a few Breed records in my retailing days, but I don't think I ever heard him. "It's All Good" is indeed all good.

yeah
be like rocky and run up the stairs you know
put my hands up in the sky
b... big winner shit winner shit

i was just weighing out the pros and cons of not posting to ilx anymore and the tipping point in favor of staying was this thread.
so thanks again.

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."
http://www.monkeywrenchradio.org/spr/19950108.html

that radio show is def downloadable.. perhaps it holds the answer

oh wait i missed the part where someone found it

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.

Ntash916, it was identified a little bit upthread as "It's All Good" by MC Breed. Happy listening!

Thanks!!!! This made my day guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sock or no; i'm appreciative of any excuse to replay this

this is the best thread on ilm. it's like watching the birth of your first child.

and because this was solved before youtubes embedded, here's the track:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnGXAUbqb2g

Still need to track down the Stone Gossard performance though.

If anybody ever interviews him, ask him if i'm insane?

a reminder that even when all looks lost, hope springs eternal

big winner shit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnGXAUbqb2g

was thinking about this thread listening to the Reply All "Case of the Missing Hit" podcast.

heh, that's why i bumped this

holy fuck there is a video. prominent jazzy pha!

this is not what i remember it from. still positive there was a live performance that i saw. video captures the energy nicely tho'.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTN6A9zbvps

and of course there's a chopped and screwed version
