Stuntin' is an everyday thing for Houston rapper Lil' Flip. But between working on his sophomore LP, U Gotta Feel Me , and crafting remixes for close-but not-quite football squads (the Carolina Panthers used his "Game Over" single as their Super Bowl intro music), the young stunna doesn't always have ample time to keep up with the car Joneses.

So RIDES brought a showroom to him. We put Flip in a garage with an H2 Hummer, an Aston Martin, a Mercedes-Benz Lorinser SL 5 and an S-Class, and a BMW 745 on 22s to get the Houston baller's assessment for what best fits his wallet.

Revealing which car he felt the most...

I like the Hummer, man. That H2 was more me. It had a lot of chrome on it. I like that chrome though. Shine it up and you're good. I liked the Aston Martin, too. But that H2 was it. That's me. I liked the screens it had in it. I could hookup the Playstation. Get my game on.

Explaining the Burberry-laden Jaguar in his "The Way We Ball" video...

I have the Burberry design clear around the bottom part of the car. I look at I like this, I'm fin to put new shit out. I can't keep doing the same shit. If I'm going to do something I want it to be new, I don't want to do what everyone else is doing. You can't keep doing the old shit, especially when you in the spotlight.

On his efforts to remain low-key while on the road...

Some people go out and spend all this money on a hundred TV's and all that shit, man. I like to be low-key. I get enough attention already being who I am. So if I do get a lot of tricked out stuff, people are always asking, "Oh, you're a rapper." I like being chill.

On the toys he hooks his rides up with...

Spinners on the Range. I put one TV in them man. Hookup the play station and I'm good. It's a DVD player too. I ain't really trying to have nobody breaking into my whip for all of that shit. You know what I mean. Little simple TV and that's it. You in the car watching but you can't necessarily tell from the outside. I don't need people watching my shit then trying to come get it.
