"Dennehy" by Chicago born rapper Serengeti.....There has never been a rap song that perfectly nailed Chicago until this one. This is the unofficial Chicago anthem n my opinion

The first video is fun but there are style points off. Who in the he^^ in Chicago drinks O douls? And nobody here would honestly were those blue sissy shorts. So I find it kind of off.

Honestly, I was starting to laugh, because I just couldn't help myself, it almost reminds me of this:

The first video cracked me up. While I agree with your points - I have never tried O'Douls and have no shorts that short or blue - the good outweighs the bad in my eyes.

Good - Bears, Hawks, Bulls, 16 inch softball, Venture, bratwurst, Western Ave., Old Style, Bears zoobas, Jordan, Shawon Dunston, Mike Ditka, Italian Sausage, Richard Dent, Edens, Portillo's, Italian beef, WCKG, Tom Skilling...oh yeah!

Yes there is a lot of good fun to that first video and song....but as someone who has lived in the area all my life...I feel as though it was almost made by someone who is not from here...all the names that are mentioned are good, the bulls the bears, etc. just some style points off. I think maybe he just wanted o douls maybe so it would rhyme with bulls. But yes its fun.

You pick a song that talks about gangbanging and namedrops a bunch of hoodlum gangs infamous for terrorizing innocent people to sum up a city and what it represents? Maybe you need to open your eyes to the rest of the city where people are normal and responsible and ignore the negativity as oppose to celebrating it. Your perspective of Chicago is extremely limited and lopsided.
