"Still Tippin'" was a 2004 single from the Swishahouse compilation, The Day Hell Broke Loose 2 aka Major Without A Major Deal. It was given to rapper Mike Jones after a feud between him and fellow artist Chamillionaire, resulting in Chamillionaire's departure from Swishahouse.
The beat, produced by Salih Williams, features a very slowed-down, hypnotic refrain in the chorus. In an interview with MTV, Jones stated that the "tippin'" of the title is a synonym for "cruising" (i.e. driving). He also added that the following lines refer to four vogue "rims — the spokes that you see sticking out" wrapped in vouge tires, which he states "were made in 1984 by Cadillac and those were the most popular ones at the time": "Still tippin' on four fours [rims], wrapped in four vouges [tires]". mike/qa_042705/" target="_blank">http://www.mtv.com/bands/j/jones_mike/qa_042705/
According to CD Now the album was released in 2003 on _Swishahouse's The Day After Hell Broke Loose mixtape, but due to word of mouth, and the infamous X-rated version seen on BET: Uncut released in spring of the following year, by late 2004 the song received major radio rotations, and an edited version of the video was released. A remix of the song, featured 50 Cent, Young Buck and Spider Loc. The remix is called "Bitch What U Know About".
