[OC] Today is the 10 Year Anniversary of the Passing of Static Major

Posted: 25 Feb 2018 11:06 AM PST

Today is the 10 Year Anniversary of the death of Static Major. I can't even think about the last time I've seen him mentioned in here, but he is one of my favorite artists ever and I decided to do a write-up in dedication of him. Instead of going through his life chronologically. I decided I am going to go how I discovered him and he slowly became one my favorite artists/writers.

The first time I heard of Static Major like most other people would know is from Lil Wayne's Lollipop where he was featured and passed away before the music video was released. He wrote the song that helped break Lil Wayne through to being the biggest rapper in the late 00's. Static died from a simple mistake of his treatment of an autoimmune disease in the hospital he never saw Lollipop reach #1 and never broke out into the mainstream like it seemed he was about to do, but I believe he still would've been proud of his career.

A couple years later, I was really into reading the writing and production credits of some of my favorite albums, and as one of Pretty Ricky's biggest fans. I noticed Static's name all over their hits. He helped write On The Hotline, Your Body and a bunch of others while being featured on Juicy (Leave It Up To You, Get You Right). At this point i started talking about how talking about how great he was without ever delving into any of his music.

A couple years later I got onto a huge Aaliyah kick and then Static's name started popping up all over her music as well. Static was real close with Aaliyah basically writing her whole last album together.

[Aaliyah] and Static would talk about how a track made them feel, and they would go from there." - Bud'da (Producer).

He knew how to convey her messages or whatever she was going through at the time and that's why he ended up doing pretty much the whole record. She could bank on him to get that message out and still be her without forcing his own thing. - Eric Seats (Producer)

Static wrote Rock The Boat my favorite Aaliyah song as well as her which had a lot of initial push back for being her most sexually explicit song, but Aaliyah fought hard to have it be a single.

"Rock the Boat' hit her real hard, She was the one advocating to make that a single, because [the label] was trying to make sure whatever Timbaland produced were up to be singles. But she gave them hell and refused to let them do things. Even Timbaland loved it." - Key Beats (Producer)

It was at this time I realized how many of Timbaland's R&B hits were written by Static including Pony and Try Again.

When I was working with Static it was easy. He already respected me as an artist and he let me do what I do. I always respected him as a writer and an artist and let him do what he does as far as being in the studio by himself and not pressuring him - Ginuwine.

Static in the late 90's Static along with Timbaland was a huge commodity with most major R&B artists like Tank, Jodeci, Brandy & Destiny's Child.

I wanted to work with him on my last album really, really badly and we almost…I think he wrote to a track I sent him and we weren't in the same town, I wanted to work WITH him. But he was such a talent. - Faith Evans

It was at this point where I wanted to see what he had for music on his own an not just the writing credits. Static started out in a 3 man R&B group Playa with their biggest single being Cheers 2 U. They only released the one album (Cheers 2 U) and while I don't love it there were still some songs I loved like Everybody Wanna Luv Somebody. Where I really fell into Static was the loosie he released on his own in the early 00's. Till The Wheels Fall Off, One Man Woman.

To me I feel like Static's influence can be seen all over hip hop. Static was one of the first to put a "street/hood" vibe to R&B and blended it more with hip hop that we see artists like Drake and Young Thug today. Compare Static's Till The Wheel's Fall Off to Young Thug's You Said if you don't believe me.

I don't know how big you would've blown up after Lollipop, but I believe you would've at least of been a bankable name for a few years and would love where hip and R&B is today.

Since this is HipHopHeads here are a few other songs by rappers he was featured on or helped write Talk Is Cheap - Drake , Change The Game - Jay-Z, Dope - TI

TLDR: Stephen "Static Major" Garrett passed away 10 years ago to the day and was hugely responsible in writing a lot of major R&B/Hip Hop hits including Pony, Rock The Boat, Try Again, On The Hotline, and Lollipop.

I stay in the streets, that's where I draw my inspiration. If it can't be played in the hood, then it just doesn't work for me. And nobody can hold me on harmony. My whole aura is not your typical R&B aura.

-Static Major.

  • Before you comment please CTRL+F to see if your song has been said, if it has been said your comment will be deleted!

  • If you see duplicate comments, report the newer one so mods will delete it!

  • Please provide links with your votes!

  • Remember just because a hook may be iconic that does necessarily mean it's their best hook.

  • Make sure you don't post the same hook as someone else!

  • Voting for best hook will close 24 hours from the time this was posted

  • Taking suggestions for next week just DM me!

Introduction: Hello r/hiphopheads, I will be running the best hook thread once a week every Sunday! This will be run very similarly to the Best Verse Threads we had a while ago, as you can see the format is almost identical to the old threads. All you have to do is just post your favorite Young Thug (SEX) hook with a link to the hook. And if you want to, you can quote the hook word for word in your comment. The comment with the most upvotes will be deemed that artists best hook! And at the end of the year we will decide the best hook of the ones we collected! This is my first time doing anything like this so any recommendations to formatting, anything else helpful would be great!

Known for his unconventional vocal style and fashion, he first received attention for his collaborations with rappers Rich Homie Quan, Birdman, Cash Out, Shawty Lo and Gucci Mane. Young Thug initially released a series of independent mixtapes beginning in 2011 with I Came From Nothing. In early 2013, he signed with Gucci Mane's 1017 Records, and later that year he released his label debut mixtape 1017 Thug to critical praise.

Young Thug received mainstream recognition in 2014 with the singles "Stoner" and "Danny Glover" in addition to appearances on several singles including "About the Money" and "Lifestyle." That year, he also signed to Lyor Cohen's 300 Entertainment and collaborated on the mixtape Rich Gang: Tha Tour Pt. 1.
