People unfamiliar with this area of the country misjudged the hell out of St. Louis off the sound of Nelly and tha Lunatics content. They'd tap about big booties, air force ones, etc, and some people were like "St Louis must be fun":ehh:

Naw not the OG's in 1992 Quik told us that St. Louis was with the shyts..

Moving on to St. Louis, where they country as fukk
With gold teeth in they mouth but they still know what's up
Where it's hot as a muthafukka, hot enough to make ya cuss
That's why I kept my ass on the bus
But later on when it cooled off we came down and met a couple of friends
Who put us up on the St. Louis cap
The Smith Center, with Big Bob, Little Steve, Tojo, Biss and Rich
And a couple of bytches
Then they took us to a man named Gus in a store
He put us down with a herringbone and shoes galore
That's when I started thinking that this wasn't like home
But then they had to prove me wrong
'Cause later that night after we did the show
We went back to the afterset, and wouldn't ya know
Yeah, Bloods and Crips start scrappin' and shootin' -- in Missouri?
Damn, how could this happen?

Now St. Louis (ha ha ha, is just like Compton)
Yeah y'all, St. Louis (ha ha ha ha, is just like Compton, nikka)

Yeah...that beat is just a loop, though

I know what you meant but you got this all a little jumbled up breh. You're thinking of Welcome To Atlanta, not this Murphy Lee joint. And with Welcome To Atlanta he didn't just loop this old 70s sample, he simply interpolated and replayed the bassline groove from The Miracles record and built on it from there. All synth shyt played on a keyboard. That's not to say he created some original opus but the beat is not a loop of this record breh.

I was disappointed though cause I thought I was about to hear the record he got the 'What Dat Hook' groove from... anyone know what that is or was it just some original keyboardery?
