ZZ Top - I Gotsta Get Paid

It’s 2024 who’s here? 😘😘😘😘

RiP D.Hill...play the blues for them angels you hear brother.

In an interview, Billy Gibbons said, ""Yes, it's based on a rap song from the 1990's entitled '25 Lighters' by Lil' Keke and Fat Pat. It was recorded at a Digital Services Recording in Houston and we worked there as well, so we got to know those guys and that song just stayed with us for all that time. It really stayed in our head for all that time while we figured out how to deconstruct it and transform it into a guitar-based, blues-infused rocker as you hear it on La Futura. That guitar breakdown is something of a tribute to the great Lightnin' Hopkins, another of our 'heroes of the Houston ghetto.'"

Not just everyone is cool enough to do a cross-genre cover like this and make it great. ZZ Top is of course. You can learn everything you ever needed to know about being cool from these guys.

Classic ZZ, girls and cars never gets old.

R.I.P. to the longest surviving all original RockNRoll band in history 😔.. And of course most of all, rest in paradise Dusty Hill. What a legacy!

They never lost touch with their roots, over 50 yrs of superb music! RIP Dusty Hill 💋♥️

RIP FAT PAT, AND DUSTY, THIS IS A TEXAS THING

They are some badass grandpas

Rest In Peace king Dusty we’ll miss your thumpin bass lines and killer vocals.

The only band that added new sounds/styles and even electronic elements to their sound and never lost their soul and never strayed from their original sound.

The riffs the solos the lyrics the drums. Everything is perfect on this song love it.

Take note all you Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift fans, THIS is what real music sounds like.

These are the real gangstas. This shit never gets old.

Utmost respect to DJ DMD, Lil Keke and Fat Pat who were one of the people responsible for bringing this amazing rock from ZZ Top

Столько лет а ZZ актуален. Спасибо Бородатым! Когда услышал их был мальцом а теперь у самого борода уже и все слушаю! Особенно эту песню!

The ultimate "working in your garage" song.

I’ve had a ZZ Top key chain since the 80’s it’s hung on one of the stereo nobs of my black 1964 Corvette coup and it always will.

Jeez, how was this not a hit? Or maybe, with 50 million views, it was!? All I know is I had never heard it until I happened to stumble across an article (thanks Guitar Player!) about how it came to be recorded, and I’m glad I did. What an amazing latter day ZZ Top song. Good job, boys! And RIP Dusty.🙏

You know that music has come full circle when a classic rock band is now sampling rap music. 8ball MJG all in my mind!
