    I’m a huge neptunes/pharrell fan but if you can honestly tell me that this beat is on par with Pharrell’s best work, you’re a lying sack of pig sh*t.

    I won’t even comment on Nelly’s flow.

    No hating here – just making an objective comment. There are worst songs out there in the hipster/pop statosphere but I expect better from P.

    I admit Nelly isn’t what he was when he first came out…but whoever said Pharrell is falling off go play in traffic, you gotta be kidding

    Beat is wack, lyrics are weak…it seems way too similar to Drop it Like its Hot…overall this one BLOWS!

    This is a chill beat def created by none other than Pharrell. Nelly sucks and hes jus garbage. I feel like the hook shoulda been “Im built ford tough!” You know moneys tight so they got ford to throw in some of their nicer cars and they broke nelly off with a few bills for that stunt. lol haha….

    its obama’s fault for this video- this looks like a recession video. This video and nelly should apply for a stimulus.

    are you deaf??! this is the end of music. feel free to call me a hater. thats the price of brainpower anyhow.

    Some of ya’ll wake up in the morning & hate before ya’ll even brush your teeth…

    Hip Hop Is Dead……Oh realy?!

    Most of ya’ll wasn’t even BORN when real hip hop was played.

  23. Posted by: P* on August 15, 2009 at 7:48 am

    the beat is sick , not keen on nellys ad-libs (that singing thing he keeps doing). btw iv seen alot of rappers in that ford (not saying this isnt product placement), i think its the same one funkmaster flex has a special version of, rappers drive anything american, like dodge chargers, and the new cameros….. and “al ugly” if you actually new anything about beats you would know you dont write them…i would know, i make beats…

    BONG BONG!

  25. Posted by: Al Ugly on August 15, 2009 at 3:40 am

    the beat is awful,i could write 5 beats a day like that,sooooo played out,the track is utter shit to…….hip hop is dead and buried.These twats have too much money,thats the problem,they dont give a shit anymore and it shows.

  26. Posted by: Kev-O on August 15, 2009 at 1:10 am

    first of all i heard this song AGESSSS AGO!! second of all nelly is an untalented muthaf***a and pharrell is falling off too…THIRD OF ALL!! nelly sucks lol

  27. Posted by: bbro on August 15, 2009 at 12:42 am

    The beat sounds like a slower Money Maker by Ludacris

  28. Posted by: 169 on August 14, 2009 at 11:30 pm

    dis joint is fire man..forget all ya man….yea the song is old cause pharelle doesnt have the stach no more plus those nep sign mits are from the winter collection

  29. Posted by: Tako on August 14, 2009 at 11:27 pm

    This video is a little late… but over all good piece of bubblegum rap.

  30. Posted by: Orland C on August 14, 2009 at 9:41 pm

    Is this a FORD commercial?

  31. Posted by: REAL TALK on August 14, 2009 at 8:00 pm

    how does pharrell go from making beats like you know what to this?
    hella inconsistent Nelly should just stop i mean he had some dope lines here and there but the hook is terrible. this is throw away beat!

  32. Posted by: keovar on August 14, 2009 at 6:42 pm

    pretty cool song but it reminds me of a clipse song and the video reminds me of the announcement video, the mr.me too video, the drop it like its hot video and the video pharrell did with madonna

  33. Posted by: chanthee manyvanh on August 14, 2009 at 6:29 pm

  36. Posted by: soundune on August 14, 2009 at 5:37 pm

    like some syphilis i’m killing this…really?? it’s just…not interesting. hip hop is dead

  37. Posted by: thomas on August 14, 2009 at 5:21 pm

    really bad song- dope beat – but nelly ruins it by trying scream/sing in the background on the hook- awful…..
    plus nice pimped out ford flex- holy recession- freaking awful- he must have a deal with ford- things really are getting bad under obama when a multi-platinum recording artist has to flaunt a ford flex and he only has one lv bag. whoops.

  38. Posted by: Jordan on August 14, 2009 at 4:35 pm

    nelly cant pull that off. he tryin to me smooth and stuff?! hell na. pharrells beats are sick but not feelin the video. sorry P

  39. Posted by: Kriz on August 14, 2009 at 4:29 pm

  40. Posted by: SupaSeon on August 14, 2009 at 4:12 pm

    This song is OD old…how the Vid coming out now…plus Nelly switched up his style and flow but for the good…plus this beat sounds alot like the Despicable Me beat

  41. Posted by: Irishwhiskey on August 14, 2009 at 4:07 pm

    Yeah, cause Rappers want a Ford… can you say PRODUCT placement… phony baloney bs.
