He said he “ain’t gon say it no mo”, but he’s saying it again. “Put some respect when you mention my name,” the chorus, or is that the bridge, goes. It’s “respect”, but he’s pronouncing it with a “k” where the “ct” is supposed to be because, well, that’s the walk he talks. At least that’s how he said it on a recent visit to The Breakfast Club, a popular radio show on which he felt he was being disrespected.

It was a heated encounter that went semi-viral; the incident was also recorded on video; thus the making of this surprisingly catchy song, which does wonders to help save his reputation. If the joke’s on you, in other words, it’s best to join in on the laughs because getting angry often makes matters worse. The best part is the beat, a dazzling hood thumper fans and followers can ride along to.
