First of all, Paul Wall is one of the trillest white dudes to do it. Paul Wall is also the slab god.

Review
The video starts off with Paul Wall wearing with what appears to be a 4X red t-shirt. I feel like sometimes I would find myself in a 4X shirt if I was a rapper in the early-mid 2000's.
"Sittin' Sideways" is still one of the many gems from mid 2000's southern hip-hop. If you were to play this song around anybody who was a fan of the genre they would know instantly who the song is by.
In the first couple scenes you see a blue sedan (a slab) with a long horn on the hood just straight bouncing off the concrete. If this doesn't prepare you for what you're about to see, then I don't know what will.
The amount of dope looking mid-2000 model cars makes my inner child very happy. I got money on Paul Wall and his boys being throwed while recording this video.
Fast forward to the 1:28 mark and you will see Paul Wall with his hands on a fine mamacita; my guess is the slab god has been getting dimes for a minute now.
Around 1:47 Paul Wall is looking crispy. Outfit ranging from a all red Rockets hat to a iced out Rolex, dude is seriously out here livin'.
At the 2:23 mark we are seeing Big Pokey (the feature) and Paul Wall standing on top of a car. Paul Wall then continues to spit, "I'm the undisputed champ of the parking lot". This is something I would never challenge Paul Wall too. After all, Paul Wall is the slab god.
At 2:28 we see a young Juicy J and a young DJ Paul. I love how tight knit the south was. I remember watching MTV and seeing the first huge southern hip hop wave hit. These artists are all urban legends and don't get the credit they deserve.
2:49 we see our feature act, Big Pokey. Big Pokey in my books is one of the best names in hip-hop history. Big Pokey looks exactly how you imagined. Pokey spits the shit out of his 16.
Another big southern rapper has a cameo at 3:19. Bun B is one of the most legendary southern rappers and also is apart of UGK with the beloved Pimp C (R.I.P.).
The video ends with Pokey still spitting while two girls are on him, there is not much that can top that feeling in the mid-2000's.

Conclusion
Paul Wall is a cornerstone in southern hip hop. This era of southern hip hop is something that influences me to this day. Slim Thug, Mike Jones, 3 6, UGK, Outkast, the list goes on and on. These guys never really get the respect they deserve these days, but I can still appreciate them and thats all what really matters.
The beat to this song is also great. The production that southern hip hop brought to the table was awesome. The south challenged New York for the crown in a era that had many great artists on both sides.
If a alien species came to me and wanted to know what the mid-2000's was about, I would show them this music video. Hopefully shortly after that we all can get throwed in a UFO on some extraterrestrial shit.
NEW TRACK RELEASING VERY SOON
