I'm trying to figure it out, I went to so many different schools. I'd guess that was Reed in 1992, Dean in 1993, or Cook in 1994, 1995. Pugs
Some of the people who say the song is horrible should listen to the original They Don't Know song. Paul fits the lyrics pretty good into the song.
yep like uprising said then do it.. then get it on almost al lthe main radio stations in houston even sports stations get it played in minute maid and get it on tv
these are a couple pics that floated out im not sure from what school tho pugs. Ill ask paul and see what he says about the school
yea its younger then jv but he asked if paul and cham went to the same school and yes they did jv high school. im not sure the middle school name tho
Ask him if he knew a guy named Landon.... When I get home I'll see if I can find my yearbook from J.V. Pugs
Well we moved a lot. It was the northwest side mostly. Near 290 and West Little York. The closest mall was Willowbrook. The only neighborhood I lived in was Rolling Fork. There was also Carriage Lane, Woodland Trails West, Woodwind Lakes, Courtyard Glen, Windfern Forest. Pugs

Didn't look at the whole thread, though in case it wasn't posted - it made it to ESPN. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs2005/news/story?id=2203518 Hip-hop boosts AstrosAssociated Press HOUSTON -- The Houston Astros are far more likely to boot scoot to country music than bob their heads to a hip-hop tune. But that hasn't stopped two rappers from Houston from putting a baseball twist on their latest hits to pay homage to the Astros and their first World Series appearance. Chamillionaire recorded a remix of "Turn It Up" and Paul Wall remixed "They Don't Know" for the Astros. Both songs have been getting heavy radio play locally and were to play Tuesday at Minute Maid Park during Game 3 against the Chicago White Sox. "Making the song was a natural for me because I'm such a big fan," said Wall, who remembers watching the Astros as a child from the $1 upper-deck seats at the now defunct Astrodome. Wall and Chamillionaire are former partners turned bitter rivals, so it's no surprise that they would have dueling Astros anthems. "I just wanted to give some encouragement to the team," said Chamillionaire, whose Universal debut "The Sound of Revenge" comes out next month. "Because I know that in my world of hip-hop a lot of people pay attention to baseball. I just wanted to be a part of this history." Straying from his teammates -- who keep country music videos playing on the clubhouse TVs -- third baseman Morgan Ensberg said he was excited about the raps. He said he likes both rappers and couldn't wait to hear the songs. "That's the coolest thing I've ever heard," he said. Wall (real name Paul Slayton) names all 25 players on the active roster as well as manager Phil Garner and owner Drayton McLane in his 2½-minute song. He also mentions Astros fan and former President George Bush. "Last year it was all a dream, but this year they did their thing," Wall raps. "The Astros are baseball's kings." Wall wrote the song in the car returning from a show the night the Astros won the National League championship and recorded it at 5 a.m. the next morning. Late in the regular season, just before his album "The People's Champ" was released, Wall attended a game and caught a foul ball. He said he thinks catching that ball was a good luck charm as his album debuted at No. 1 overall on the Billboard charts. Now he said he hopes this song will help his good fortune rub off on the Astros. "I'm so happy to be a part of this in some small way," said Wall, who recorded a videotaped message to play before his song. Chamillionaire's uptempo song, which was released first, is less specific but just as supportive. It features lines like "Houston is the best if you don't know then you're delirious" and "couldn't win the series is what they thought and now we're proving it." Chamillionaire (real name Hakeem Seriki) said his record label asked him to include the players' names but he resisted. "I realized music's designed to be timeless," he said. "You never know that record could get played again down the line. It didn't want it to only be relevant for that time." Known as the Mixtape Messiah on Houston's underground rap scene after selling more than 250,000 records independently, Chamillionaire used his freestyle skills to put the song together in about 30 minutes. In the midst of a promotional tour for his album, Chamillionaire was in Chicago when he recorded the song. "It's kind of crazy," he said. "At the time I did it I wasn't thinking about any of that." Despite it being recorded in the opposing team's hometown, Kirby Kander, Minute Maid Park's director of entertainment, said it's a boost for the team. "Chamillionaire's is kind of a rally song that gets you excited during the game," he said.
