"Still Tippin" is the debut single by American rapper Mike Jones, released in 2004 as his debut and lead single from his album Who Is Mike Jones? (2005). Prior to this, it was also used as a single to promote Swisha House's compilation album, The Day Hell Broke Loose 2 (2003). The song features vocals from rappers Slim Thug and Paul Wall, the latter in his first single appearance.

The beat was produced by Salih Williams, featuring a hypnotic refrain from a Swishahouse song of Slim Thug from years past. In an interview with MTV, Jones stated that the "tippin'" of the title is a synonym for "cruising" (i.e. driving). He also added that "tippin' on four 4s, wrapped in four Vogues" refers to rims with "the spokes that you see sticking out" wrapped in Vogue tires, which he explains "were made in 1994 by Cadillac and those were the most popular ones at the time".^[1] Furthermore, the line is a reference to the slang for the Acres Homes area of Houston, Texas where the "fo-fo" comes from the Metro bus route number 44 which goes through the community.

The song's music video was directed by John "Dr. Teeth" Tucker, earning him an MTV Video Music Award nomination.^[2] The last verse was given to rapper Paul Wall after fellow artist Chamillionaire had a dispute with both Paul Wall and Mike Jones, resulting in Chamillionaire's departure from Swishahouse.
