Nelly - Bay

Contributed by DJ Z

Listen to More: Street, Hyphy, Midwest

While plenty of MCs from the East Coast, West Coast and Midwest have adapted to the popular southern sounds of Houston, Atlanta and Miami, the same cannot be said for the Bay Area’s regionally popular Hyphy movement.  In fact, if you ask listeners outside of the Oakland/San Francisco area to name an artist who is responsible for the Hyphy sound, many would simply not know.  Informed and well-versed, St. Louis rap pioneer Nelly wants to correct that problem, showcasing three Hyphy legends on the appropriately titled, Bay.  In honor of rappers Spice 1 (first verse), Too Short (second verse) and E-40 (third verse), the St. Lunatic tactfully imitates all three delivery styles, delivering a surprisingly unique track.  Nelly will drop his long-awaited Brass Knuckles on June 24.

I think the production/beat on here could use a little work. I'm not feeling the flow of the song. Not really feeling the sound of Nelly. He dumbed down his over the top flow and I'm not sure how much I like it. It's just OK.

damn..diss song is by far the worse song i've ever heard by nelly. This song is shit, lyrically and production wise. Come on nelly damn, from what ive seen, this will be his worse CD of his career, which is sad since hes had half a decade to do it.

This is just kind of weird...Nelly making a Bay song. This has the hyphy sound to it any everything, but I gotta give Nelly props bcuz this fake bay song is hotter than a lot of other real bay songs I've heard. This should not be a single, but rather a good filler on his new album.

Expect a remix from the real rappers that he was imitating too. ..I'm sure that's coming.

Wow...Nelly really must be desperate. I have to admit that he imitates the hyphy sound really well for someone from St. Louis, but he does really think that this is going to help his album? I'm from the Bay myself and the reaction for this one is going to be mixed. Some cats are going to bang this while others are going to wonder what gives Nelly the right to do a hyphy record?

I like this man, I think it's pretty talented and it goes well for a hyphy track. The E-40 imitation was kinda weak tho I thought.

I'm a little too young to know anything about Spice 1, but Nelly kills his "Too Short" and "E-40" verses. This is definately something new from Nelly. I feel like a guest feature from Keak da Sneak would've worked well on here.

This song mainly gets a 3 for the beat. The Droop-E beat is pretty hot. Nelly does an interesting job imitating bay legends. A remix wit some of the Bay Area rappers would make this better tho. Nelly by himself, although interesting, makes this song more weird than good.

Garbage. Straight up garbage. The only dude I wanna hear do hyphy shit is the king of hyphy...E-40!!!! I am always defending Nelly in debates because of his first album and the most slept on first album from St.Lunatics. But this shit....he is fallin off like bad dope at a crackhead convention!!! The beat sucks and the lyrics match!

Damn, ask Fergie to do the remix already Nelly, so you dont need to sound like her. I'll never listen to it again, so... it's below ok. Wadsyaname was HOT. Keep it like that Nelly, please.
