"Ride wit Me" is a song by American rapper Nelly featuring City Spud. It was released on February 13, 2001, as the third single from Nelly's debut studio album, Country Grammar (2000). "Ride wit Me" reached number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 and peaked within the top 10 of the charts in Australia, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, and the United Kingdom.

Background [edit]

"Ride wit Me" features a sound similar to "Get Down on It" by Kool and the Gang; indeed, it is in the same key (E minor) and uses almost identical melody and chord progressions in the refrain alone. The song interpolates lyrics from the song "I Like It" by DeBarge, specifically those which read: "I like the way you brush your hair, and I like those stylish clothes you wear".

The official remix was also produced by Jason "Jay E" Epperson and then placed in Nelly's remix album, Da Derrty Versions: The Reinvention. It also features City Spud's verse from the original and John Mayer on the guitar. It samples Mayer's single, "No Such Thing".

Chart performance [edit]

In the United States, "Ride wit Me" became Nelly's highest-charting single at the time, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100. In the United Kingdom, "Ride wit Me" debuted and peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart on May 13, 2001 – for the week ending date May 19, 2001 – becoming Nelly's highest-charting song in Britain until October 2002, when his duet with Kelly Rowland, "Dilemma", became his first chart-topper on the UK Singles Chart.

Music video [edit]

Largely inspired by the 1977 film Smokey and the Bandit, and also referencing the 1980s TV show The Dukes of Hazzard and the 1967 film Cool Hand Luke, the video (directed by Marc Klasfeld) sees Nelly and Ali driving to a dilapidated bar occupied by Kyjuan, Slo-Down and Murphy Lee to throw a party. Ali drives a Peterbilt 379 truck filled with women, while Nelly drives a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am along a desert road, as the video follows their journey and eventual encounters with police, hitchhikers and other roadside incidents. The video culminates with their arrival and a party taking place outside the bar. Featured artist City Spud provides the third verse; however, due to being incarcerated, he does not appear in the music video; Nelly and the St. Lunatics lip-sync his lines.

The music video won Best Rap Video at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2001, also receiving a nomination for Viewer's Choice. A Philadelphia 76ers version of the song was released during the 2001 NBA Finals.

Release history [edit]

In popular culture [edit]

It was featured in the parody film Scary Movie 2 during the credits, and was subsequently featured very briefly in the films Soul Plane, Are We There Yet?, Bride and Prejudice and Invisible Children.

It was also featured in Scrubs (episode "My Fruit Cups"), Friends ("The One with Chandler's Dad"), King of the Hill ("Kidney Boy and Hamster Girl: A Love Story"), The Cleveland Show ("Cleveland's Angels"), and Atlanta ("The Jacket").

In a scene from the Glee episode "Throwdown", New Directions can be seen having a jam session, and they sing the first chorus and first verse of this song. Accompanying the jam are Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) on drums, and Noah "Puck" Puckerman (Mark Salling) on guitar. The version seen on Glee was not recorded in the studio like most of the songs featured on Glee, but was sung during filming by the actors.

A new version has been used in a Honey Nut Cheerios commercial sung as "Must Be the Honey", which features Nelly talking to its mascot, Buzz.

Nelly joined Florida Georgia Line to perform "Ride wit Me" and "Cruise" at the 2013 American Music Awards.[37]

It was also featured in Ted 2, where Ted changed its lyrics. It is also mentioned in the novel Twelve by Nick McDonell.[38]

British singer Anne-Marie references this song, as well as five others, in the chorus of her 2018 single "2002".

American singer Slayyyter released a cover of the song on August 2, 2019.[39]

An instrumental version of this song also appeared in the Lowe's commercials between 2005 and 2006.

Nelly danced a salsa to "Ride Wit Me" while competing on season 29 of Dancing with the Stars.
