The “tippin’” referred to in the title is those types of cars you would see in rap videos, especially circa the turn of the century when this track was dropped, which are able to lean and jump due to customized hydraulics.

Enabling your car to pull off such stunts can be pretty expensive, or let’s say is a showy addition, not a necessity. So accordingly, the vocalists making such references are meant to point to the notion of them being rich, as is their patronage of luxury “fo fo” rims coupled with Vogue tires. 

Or put more plainly, as far as the title goes the rappers are bragging about their cars being pimped-out, though there are other lyrical displays of their wealth featured in the song.

So what we’re dealing with here is your standard rap braggadocio, that which is based primarily on money but also the ability to get hoes and presenting oneself as being a gunslinger. None of the artists who appear on this track are what you would call A-listers, but Mike Jones was hot around the time this track came out, as were his co-stars. And “Still Tippin’” did eventually achieve RIAA platinum certification less than two years after it was released.

“Still tippin’ on fo’ fo’s wrapped in fo’ vogues
Tippin’ on fo’ fo’s wrapped in fo’ vogues
Tippin’ on fo’ fo’s wrapped in fo’ vogues
Pimpin’ fo’ hoes and I’m packin’ fo’ fo’s”
