Sippin sippin syruup sippin'

(Scratched)
Wussup with the Gangsta Boo?

New Boo!

[Hook] repeated 2x

[Verse 1]
The hood, the block
The killas, the thieves
My home, my zone
My liquor, my weed
The gangsta, the lady
The same, The Boo
I changed the game
New label, new crew
You critics be hatin'
You haters be talkin'
You talkers be walkin'
You groupies be stalkin'
The heavens, the earth
The devils, the dirt
The end is herre
Prepare for worse!
The crying, the lying
The cheating, the beating
The churches, the preachers
Who pimpin' with preaching
The niggaz that like me
The niggaz that love me
The lady that's out now
You bitches can't touch me

The game be me, because I'm underground
I can't help my ?? on every nigga
Because I'm the best female rapper around

[Hook] repeated 8x

[Verse 3]
I'm riding on them thangs
I'm feelin' like a mac
My cell phone ringing

They call me all the time
They want to blow my mind
The mind is a terrible thing to waste so quit trying!
You know I ain't going
So why you tryna stick me?
You ain't got nothing for me
You must be??
Cause if you ain't equal
Or above what I'm doing
You ain't gon' be-zzy dizzz-own
Or witness what I'm doing
I'm always riding solo
I don't got buddies with me
Cause buddies turn to enemies
And mama's end up crying
Yo if you think I'm lying
Just take a trip to Memphis
They'll tell you all about me
And won't forget to mention-

[Hook] repeated 12x





I-I-Ima bring the gutta back!

Overall Meaning

The song "Sippin' and Spinnin'" by Bun B featuring Gangsta Boo is an ode to Southern hip-hop culture. The opening lyrics of the hook, "With my Sprewell Spinnin, Sippin sippin syrup sippin'" reference the popular trend of putting spinners on car rims, and the tradition of sipping on syrup, or codeine cough syrup mixed with soda, which is a nod to the slower, more relaxed pace of Southern living. Gangsta Boo references herself as the "New Boo" and claims to have "changed the game" with "new label, new crew." She addresses haters, critics, and stalkers alike, and acknowledges the darker elements of life in the South, including violence and drug use.


Throughout the song, Gangsta Boo asserts her dominance as a female rapper and her status as a Southern icon. In a later verse, she says, "I done sold some records, I done did what I done / Magazines and TV screens / Ballin like all up in one / I write my own shit / I'm what you call the truth." She also addresses the pressures of fame, refusing to let anyone "stick" her or bring her down. While "Sippin' and Spinnin'" may seem like a simple party song on the surface, it's actually a powerful statement about the resilience and strength of Southern hip-hop culture.

@JKingJay bro when I played the chopped and screwed version for my friends they couldnโ€™t believe how live it sounded. I was the king ๐Ÿ‘‘ of finding music in my circle after that.

JKingJay

The screwed and chop version is unmatched

Matthew Won

Wow. Had the mp3 from back in the day on a hard drive somewhere but couldn't find it and gave up when I was looking last year. Then thought of it today and here it is. Amazing. This remix is completely sublime. No disrespect to Crime Mob but this song does what this beat was made to do. Thank you for uploading this

662chillin

The same thing happened to me 4 years ago. All of my music died on my computer so I had to do a lot of searching on the Net to find it again.ย 

Doc Jam (the producer of this beat) specifically made this beat for this song originally, but understandably, when you got the opp for a major label placement with this beat versus an unofficial remix, then you jump on it.

I'm glad a lot of people still remember this song as the original version over this beat

John Cecil-Milton Waller

AWWW MAN THIS TAKES ME BACK!! Best remix of this one.

Laytoria Simpson
