Nelly is garbage but lol at people not understanding the meaning of this track.

Hes paying homage to Spice 1, Too Short and E-40 by jacking their flow for every verse (3).

This joint is good. Dudes is paying homage to cats from the bay area the 3 most influential (Spice 1, Short Dogg, & E-40). Different but it’s good, not something you expect from Nelly.

i personally love this song very creative…that’s the problem wit hip-hop, even one is doing the same thing instead of being different and making people listen to them…very creative Nelly

standing up for them Bay Area cats, can’t dis the bay all the way now. They started the independent hustle and that bounce that most Southern rappers got now. they started that in the trunk hustle type shit. they started that player shit before everybody was being a “player” before player’s anthem (Junior Mafia), 2pac from uptown nyc but his swagger is half nyc half bay area shit. I can’t front, with most of the wack ass shit comin out right now, I’d rather listen to some old school bay area albums like R.B.L.( Ruthless By Law)1st album-A Lesson to be Learned or Totally Insane- Direct from the Backstreet, these are both Bay Area Classics,every track on both these albums is for the car definitely, I’d rather listen to these albums then most of the shit out right now. I tell you somethin, most them Bay Area Rappers ain’t no suckas to this industry shit. they seein more money then the signed rappers they got out now, even if people’s ain’t feelin that they aint as lyrical at least they ain’t sellin out what they believe in. to this industry shit. It’s worse when your a rapper that’s already wack plus you compromise to the industry. you a sell out wack rapper. Dem bay area cats just get money all day.lyrics might not be the focus but you gotta respect the hustle if they ain’t compromising to an industry exec that don’t know shit about rap.

Cosign #14. Im from the Bay. Richmond, Ca. And this was a very creative track from Nelly. I’d be suprised if this song made the “Brass Knuckles” album thou. Im very sure Spice One, Too $hort, and E-40 loving this shit thou. I am too. Its showing hella love when an artist from Saint Luis can put out a song about a city he not even from. Bigg up to Nelly for this track. Oh an #5 Ya Boy isnt the only nice rapper to emerge from the Bay. I went to school with Will aka Ya Boy. And he was not always that hardcore. Listen to his first album “Rookie of the Year” was more hiphyish than the shit he put out now. that nigga sound like The Game if you ask me. There’s a long list of talented artist in Northen California. To name a few theres: Clyde Carson, Mistah Fab, C-Bo, The Jacka, Mobb Figaz, the Pack, Money Game. Too Many to name. But do your research and get off Ya Boy dick.

i want to raise a question.

does anyone feel like he’s trying to cash in by repping the bay area?

i know the hyphy movement doesnt have the same steam from 2006 so its not like he’d cash in big time, but im just wondering.

did anyone think “ahh hell nah why’s he tryna act like he knows the bay?”

im just wondering.

ILL SHIT!!!! I’M FEELING IT!!! HOT BEAT! I’m liking the Bay references in the song, he threw some Spice 1 lines in the first verse, TOO SHORT for the 2nd verse and 40 Water on the last verse.

#16…It is all good if he is tryna cash, but he paid a lot of homage on this song. It is called target marketing, he is tryna expand his target audience. It’s cool that a person that ain’t from the Bay and could make a song about the Bay in a respectful way.

This song is straight bammer. that bobby brown. straight crap. I don’t care if he payin homage or not. the song is crap. Bay Music slaps harder than any mainstream. The jacka kill shit. MAc dre TIP is a god. Messy marv a straight gangsta. san quinn reps the sco. Richie rich too short and a whole bunch of other oakland cats are beasts. learn bout it cause obviously none of yall know about it. do some research.

You dont need to do research to know this song is crap.
