Song Information
Recently, a remix with Cash Money President and Founder Brian "Baby" Williams was released. Although the song is regarded as many fans and DJ's as "The Official Remix" it is in fact only an official Cash Money remix, the real remix is slated to feature T.I., P. Diddy, and Lil' Wayne. A remix was played on Funk Master Flex's radio show on Hot97 on October 5th, 2006 which featured T.I., Diddy, Baby and Young Dro and has been leaked on the internet. The intro of the song has a sample of "Mr Cool" by Rasputin's Stash.
Popularity
"We Fly High" has started to become popular throughout the US in 2006. Started by the New York Giants' Michael Strahan against the Washington Redskins in October, he and his fellow teammates began celebrating sacks and other key defensive plays by taking "jump shots" in the air. [1] The NFL issued a "clarification" two weeks later to remind the Giants that if their celebrations included two or more players, that they would be penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct. [2] The song is also extremely popular across the Tri-state area (New York metropolitan area), when played in the clubs it is typical for everyone to take "jump shots" when Jim Jones says "baaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnn". The dance in the video along with the jump shot has been named the "Fadeaway" by Jones.
Jones is featured in a remix of Unk's "Walk It Out", and there is a line where he yells out "Ballinnn!"
Jones has also made a "We Fly High (New York Giants Remix)". Jones has also appeared in the "It's Okay (One Blood)" official remix.
