Original version

The version of "Still Tippin'" released on Mike Jones's album (which contains a string piece sample taken from a 1990 recording of Gioachino Rossini's "William Tell Overture" by the South German Philharmonic Orchestra and Alfred Scholz) is actually a remix of the original version featuring Slim Thug, Chamillionaire and Mike Jones. When Chamillionaire and Mike Jones started their rivalry, Jones took the track, placed it on a different beat and cut Chamillionaire off it. He then got Paul Wall to record a verse and used it as a substitute for the cut verse. The original version of the song is sampled from Slim Thug's own song "I'm a Hoe (Freestyle)" (from his 1998 album I Represent This), and can be heard on the Rap-a-Lot Records compilation, The Day After Hell Broke Loose .

Other versions

According to CD Now, the song was released in 2003 on Swishahouse's The Day Hell Broke Loose 2 AKA Major Without A Major Deal album, 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. The official remix known as the "Underground Remix" features Screwed Up Click members Lil' Keke & Big Pokey. [3] A remix of the song, called "Bitch What U Know About", features 50 Cent, Young Buck and Spider Loc. A freestyle by Ludacris is included on the mixtape The Preview called "Still Spittin'". Another official remix titled, "Still Tippin (It's a Man's World Remix)", featuring singer Nicole Wray can be found on the soundtrack of the movie, Hustle & Flow . The beat for the song "Still Tippin", was also used on Lupe Fiasco's mixtape in a song called "Switch". It is one of Lupe's most popular mixtape songs, garnering millions of views on YouTube.
