Hit Em Up, St. Louis Style
Ok, maybe not.
But really, is this the best Chingy can diss Nelly with?
"I heard that song, boy; it ain't another, boy. Better keep my name out your mouth, boy/ ... I been discovered, boy; that's why you hatin', boy/ ... The media hyped you, boy/ KRS crushed you, boy/ ... Put up the chains, bars and the platinum teeth, boy/ And bring the drama beef, trouble to the streets, boy/ You started it, boy/ Well, I'mma finish, boy."Translated into English: I am clearly struggling when I am not in my element, i.e. rhyming thurr with thurr. And while I have duly noted that most disses rhyme or show passion or are explicit, I am aware of the fact that a parental advisory sticker placed on any of my material would have the same effect in terms of my sales as a Marshall Mathers race change would have on his.
Nelly reacts as expected:
Had this been any other rapper, I would have brushed it off and kept it moving."Translated into English: Chingy is the only dreg in the rap game that I could possibly beat in a war of words. Thus, I will acknowledge his disrespect and respond in kind. Meanwhile, in light of the fact that The Game disrespected me concerning one of my smash singles, I have taken his rap acumen into account and decided not to embarass myself by beefing with someone who has actual emcee skills.
