Why did 8Ball and MJG make a song called "Space Age Pimpin" but they were simping in the song?

[staticshock]

Dont get me wrong, its a southern classic and it stays in my rotation..but these nikkas named it Space Age Pimpin and they were simping throughout the whole song


"I'll be obliged if you step outside
Because my ride is awaiting our date and
Of steak and a night cap
We mating, awaking"

What pimp says obliged?
Thats straight out of the simp dictionary

"Satin sheets
Heat from your feet keep me warm
The mood is perfected by sounds from the storm"

nikka sound like he's writing a Zane novel talking bout satin sheets and warm feet

"Would ya kill for me, ya if my life in danger too
Even steal for me, ya if that shyt belongs to you"

The ultimate simp shyt..he talkin about killing for her

"don't be afraid of what your friends say
Rappers get dat ass, then be outta here like yesterday"

Very un-pimp like. How you gonna claim to be a pimp but you are assuring a woman you aren't like the other guys

"Let's go hop in my Suburban
And ride til we get to where you want to be, no matter how far
Just call me ball baby, to me you're the superstar"

nikka in a big ass suburban talkin bout no matter how far..wasting gas driving around town talking to a bytch but you supposed to be pimping

"to me, you're the superstar" another line straight out of the simp handbook. Ive used that line myself

"Get a suite
An order something to eat
Tell me things about you
I'll tell you things about me
Then out the blue I'll be caressing you, undressing you"

Another ultimate simp move..he booked a suite
a real nikka woulda got a $80 dollar room.

Then he talking about caressing and pillow talking

I fukk with Memphis music heavy, but Houston got the pimp music down pat. IDK wtf Ball and G were talking about in this song. shyt should be called Space Age Simpin

 

[Dontay Flaco]

Im slow, I never even realized that.

 

[staticshock]

Im slow, I never even realized that.

I was listening to it in the gym. I was resting in between sets then that shyt hit me

 

[Phantom Dreamer]

this is real talk tho, wtf?

 

[Family Man]

He's impressing the bytch to take her away from her lame ass man. Whatever bread 8ball was spent to take the bytch is chump change to him. She gonna make him back all that money and more. The nikka was macking and playing the long game. He's gassing her head up.

 

[Whore D'oeuvres]

"space age simpin"

Studio pimp brehs

 

[Thegospel]

Uhhhh thats how you get her. You treat her like shes the world. Its part of the process. Step ya game up my atl brethren

 

[killacal]

He's impressing the bytch to take her away from her lame ass man. Whatever bread 8ball was spent to take the bytch is chump change to him. There's no simping in that song. The nikka was macking.

Of course ur old ass is in support of trickin

opposite. of this pimp song

 

[Family Man]

There's different types of pimping my nikka. Ain't nothing wrong with investing in a bytch.

 

[Ya Sinning Mane]

It’s a mind game,they lying to the bytch u big doof

 

[Crude]

OP I came in here ready to dismantle your thread. That song was a great part of my adolescent formative years, but you have a point.

They probably should have named the song something else, although I think the song is more about selling a facade to a woman even though its not specifically said its more implied.

Sidenote, Ball and G are underrated. They dont get talked about like other down south groups of the time like Outkast, 3-6 Mafia, UGK, and others, but they were dropping some heat too. MJG is a criminally underrated lyricist and emcee.

Right.

 

[brickfare]

grew up in Memphis blasting the shyt out of this album and a bunch of other ball n g cuts but

bruh I got a few females in my phone rn who all I gotta say is "im got a room, pull up" and they'll be there AND they will bring the bottle. Got some who all I have to do is call and say im hungry and they'll cook for a nikka.

THATS pimping. Never had to spend any money, buy a suite or pillow talk with them.

IDK what kinda shyt you be doing breh
