  • William Kozy from New York Let’s not forget the amazing film sound track for “American Graffiti” which also has this song.
  • Jamie from Idaho This recut version with Krayzie Bone is a brilliant collaboration of four decades apart sending the same message to their children. Stay out of trouble and don’t talk back. Great job Mike Nikitas for producing and having the insight to put these talented artists together.
  • Lovetheoldies from Carlisle Pa @P from Chicago, " Just tell your gangbang friends outside, you ain't got time to go get high."
  • Mike from Idaho There is a rap version...the coasters re cut it with Krayzie Bone from bones thugs harmony..it was produced by mile Nikitas and came out great with Krazie in the middle .
  • Esskayess from Dallas, Tx "Just tell your hoodlum friend outside..." Always cracked me up.
  • Cristian from Santiago, Chile A new dance version was release this year (2011) by The Drapers.
  • Jas from Clifton, Tx Recording this as a rap song would be considered a crime against humanity. It's basically a protest song that was so catchy that people didn't realize it was actually criticizing them.
  • P from Chicago, Il Someone needs to record this as a rap song. "Just tell your gangbang friends outside..."
  • Teresa from Mechelen, Belgium Super good song of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.

Lil Yachty Has a Wild Clapback to Fans Saying He Stole Playboi Carti’s Flow

Cop Your XXL Merch Now

Lil Yachty is clapping back at fans who accused the rapper of stealing Playboi Carti ‘s flow on a new song.

On Wednesday (March 20), Yachty responded to chatter online surrounding his flow on an unreleased song Kai Cenat previewed during a livestream last Monday (March 18). Fans were quick to call out Lil Boat’s cadence on the track, with many of them comparing it to Carti’s.

“Biting him? How did I bite him?” Yachty wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, in response to a critic. “If that’s the case i been workin with cardio since 2019-2020 on record yall fans be smoking the strongest d**k.”

Cardo is known for producing all of Carti’s most recent releases : “H00dByAir,” “Ketamine,” “EvilJ0rdan” and “Backr00ms.” So fans were quick to clap back at Yachty’s clapback.

“The song is terrible,” the user @hadmyback replied . “The beat is a ‘H00DBYAIR’-type beat. Your flow is an obvious attempt at a Carti flow, and you used a ‘what’ ad-lib in the same cadence [that] Carti uses.”

Lil yachty announces new album.

Boat had previously announced in an Instagram post on Feb. 13 that he is dropping a new album with James Blake .

“I mean, granted, I think James has worked with a quite substantial amount of hip-hop artists. But this project is so left for both of us,” the Quality Control rapper said in the video clip. “And then, aside from the one picture that James posted, which—he doesn’t have many followers actually—I don’t think people know that we know each other exist. So it’s just gon’ be like, ‘What the f**k? When they do this?'”

Lil Yachty had previously dropped off “A Cold Sunday” on Feb. 2.
