Lil' Flip's career was launched when he released his first album "The Leprechaun". The album quickly gained national attention and spawned the hit single "I Can Do That". The album sold over 100,000 copies regionally and gained attention from Def Jam South, A & R, and well-known Houston rapper Scarface. He was briefly signed to Def Jam, but abruptly left the label a few years later after concerns about his financial earnings. He soon signed to Loud Records and began recording his first national debut album.
While recording his album, he was apparently shot by unknown assailants in a drive-by shooting. He survived the attack and pressed on to finish the album. At the age of 20, Lil' Flip released his sophomore album "Undaground Legend", his first nationally released album, which included the hit single "The Way We Ball" and a remix to his hit "I Can Do That". The album reached platinum status even though it didn't get much promotion from Loud Records.
Lil' Flip recorded his third album "U Gotta Feel Me" on Sony Records. This album was more commercial and featured Ludacris, Three 6 Mafia, and others. The album debuted at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #3 on the Hip-Hop/R&B charts. It quickly became a crossover success with the Billboard Hot 100 Top 20 single "Game Over". The single used the Namco Pac-Man beat and the video showed Lil' Flip getting a tattoo while rapping to the single. The single reached #1 on the hip-hop charts. His follow-up single, the lover's anthem "Sunshine" featuring Lea, became the second hit single on Lil' Flip's album and went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. It gained numerous requests on MTV 2 and BET. The album was certified double platinum.
Lil' Flip is known for his unique screwed style of freestyling (a form of slowed down rap technique) and for always releasing double disc CDs whenever he releases an album. He credits all of his success to the late DJ Screw and has tattooed DJ Screw's name on his arms. Lil' Flip has been credited for his lyrics by Three 6 Mafia, David Banner, Fam-Lay, Young Buck, UGK, Ludacris, among others. He has announced himself as the "King of The South" and the "Freestyle King".
After party
Lil' Flip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you don't know you better ask somebody
Get on the dance floor grab somebody
We gon' crash the party then pack the lobby
Look you can roll with a pimp like me
And chill at my spot for the weekend, eh
And if you play it right we gon' do it again
Look I don't really care if it?s a black or white hoe
As long as she fine and she ain't no psycho
Spittin' my venom, gun in my denim ready to pop
It stop rainin', so I hadda pull out my drop
Common ma go and let your hair back
Why you actin' all stuck up, we can't have that
Why you talking 'bout your ex so much
You need to stop takin' ex so much, ye, ye
Tell you friends we on the 15th floor
And they can come pick you up at fo', oh-no
Just holla back when you want some more
And I'ma put it on you like a pro
I know you like pimp and smirn' off
Now take you skirt off
Your bra and shirt off, let do da damn thing
I'm done drinkin' champagne, I'ma call it a night
Eat breakfast in the mornin' then catch my flight, I'm gone
Eh, we on our way to the after party
If you don't know you better ask somebody
Get on the dance floor grab somebody
We gon' crash the party then pack the lobby
Look you can roll with a pimp like me
And chill at my spot for the weekend, eh
And if you play it right we gon' do it again
Back of the club all we do is roll with it
If you think I'm in love girl, you don't know me
I don't show off, I like to keep it low key
But it's kinda hard, look at my Roley
35 carats, each rock is 4 G?s
Pistol on my hip, I roll like an old G
I had to show ya?ll I can switch up the flow
Clover G records, we about to blow
Look I can take a half and make it a brick
I can take a weak track and make it a hit
I can take a nobody and make 'em a star
I think these hoes just wanna fuck my car
But I don't give a damn cause I'm rich as fuck ya?ll
If you got beef with me then fuck ya?ll
I'm from the streets I ain't gotta duck ya?ll
We 30 deep in the clup my nigga
Eh, we on our way to the after party
If you don't know you better ask somebody
Get on the dance floor grab somebody
We gon' crash the party then pack the lobby
Look you can roll with a pimp like me
And chill at my spot for the weekend, eh
And if you play it right we gon' do it again
The song "After Party" by Lil' Flip is a party anthem that focuses on the rapper's extravagant lifestyle and his appreciation for beautiful women. The opening lines set the tone for the song by introducing the after-party and inviting the listener to join in on the festivities. The lyrics, "If you don't know you better ask somebody, Get on the dance floor grab somebody, We gon' crash the party then pack the lobby" tell us to let loose and have fun with our friends and strangers at the party. The song emphasizes the rapper's love for women and how important they are in his life. It tells us that the rapper does not discriminate against any girl and will only choose them based on their beauty and lack of craziness. He also talks about his flashy lifestyle, including his expensive car, high-end clothes, and his 35-carat diamond-studded Rolex. This song is an excellent example of how Lil' Flip has come into his own and created a niche for himself in the realm of party music.
