Nelly has promptly responded to fellow St. Louis rapper Chingy’s dis record “We Got,” which is featured on AllHipHop.com. In the song, Chingy also takes issue with his cross-town rival and former mentor Ludacris of Disturbing Tha Peace Records. A normally cheerful Chingy spews, “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.” Immediately, Nelly dismissed the rougher notions expressed in the song. “[I saw him] at the Radio Music Awards [in Las Vegas]. My album came out in September. The awards were in October. My album was [bootlegged] even earlier in St. Louis,” Nelly told AllHipHop.com. “So he had plenty of time to hear that and I am sure people brought it to his attention, so if he had a problem he could have said it face to face.” On Sweat, Nelly offered a single line aimed at Chingy without directly stating his name, a lyric he said was blown out of proportion. In a mid-western slang, Nelly lamented, “The song says, ‘I like it how you do it right thurr [there]/You just to remember why you do that right thurr.’ That is all the truth and I am like ‘I am not lying to you, little guy.’ I could have said “F**k that right thurr.” Chingy expressed his issues with Nelly to MTV, stating, “I’m tired of these guys – I’m talking about Ludacris and Nelly – I’m tired of these guys taking shots at me in all these interviews and songs [with] subliminal shots. Business is business. I’m the one who sold three million records, and I’m still getting money back that [Disturbing Tha Peace] had in their possession. Ludacris knows what I’m talking about.” Chingy departed Ludas DTP crew last year. While Ludacris wasn’t available for comment, a rep for Nelly pointed out that the rapper’s Country Grammar moved 9 million units and his sophomore effort, Nellyville, sold upwards of 6 million. “Chingy has a problem with standing up and being a man so if this [is] what he wants to do, I will help him,” Nelly said, visibly angered. Not only is this beef more-or-less personal, Nelly said it was disrespectful considering he’s the trail blazing artist of St. Louis Hip-Hop. “I have to [reply], I am still a rapper first – I can show you contrary to rumor. He is not the first one to take shots at me,” Nelly said recollecting his highly flammable beef with KRS-One. “But this one affects me on a personal level because he is from St. Louis and this is a different relationship. Had this been any other rapper, I would have brushed it off and kept it moving.” At press time, Nelly had not released his dis record. He still has a pair of albums, Sweat and Suit, lingering on the Billboard Charts.
