* This is the song right here...good production by Swizz and she holds her own with a lyrical beast like Beans. I dont understand why Eve isn't mentioned in the best female rapper category? She is beautiful, sexy, lyrical has pop hits, street hits, signed to Rough Ryders and "strong women" songs. She had a TV show, sex tape, sings OK and signed to Dre. She is pretty much the amalgamation of L Boogie/MC Lyte/Latifah that everyone clamors for. And she aint weird like Nicki.

"Philly, Philly"
(feat. Beanie Siegal)

[Beenie Siegal]
Beenie Siegal
Philly is where I'm from

[Beenie Siegal]
We from P-H-I-L-A period, PA period, Eve they hearing it
Believe they fearing it, but loving it though
I hate the game, fuck the fame but I'm loving the dough
You couldn't tell me in a million years
And a thousands bars that I roam the reservoir with dogs
Show the world what "crew love" was about
Drop adrenaline. "4-5-6"
I show them what a thug was about
I know you love flossing wit X, busting them checks
Getting tattoos, paw prints on your chest
I aint' mad, baby get that cash
Make them hating bitches kiss your ass
Ruff Ryde lift that ?
I'm gon walk till I see how these flee's gon feel
When I come through wit the whip with the bee's on the wheel
Burgundy thing, cream gut, cherry wood
Steering wheel, or be surround by the wing on the hood
I know they like "how they collide"
He roll wit Roc, you Ruff Ryde but we black friday tied
How you think they gon feel seeing us grammy night
Let me tell you, a bunch of if, and's and mics
Billboard charts, source ad and mics
And if I say so myself "goddamn we tight"
Fuck being humble ain't no other way to end this
We ain't open up the doors, we knocked that bitch up off the hinges

[Chorus]
Philly, Philly,
Philly where I am from
Philly, Philly
Philly where I am from
Philly, Philly
Philly where I am from
Philly, Philly
Philly where I am from

[Eve]
Yo, yo yo
No doubt we represent P-H-I-L-A period, E-V-E eve period, fuck wit Beenie period
We gon hold it down for illdelph for life
Came through made a name nigga nailed it tight
And now we shine, been knew, shit it was about time
Switched from streets the beats, platinum lines
Used to struggle in the hood just to brodie the mic
Took the fame cause they ain't give it us, now we excite
The biggest crowds and they screaming loud PHILLY THE SHIT
Rocc-a-fella rap guerrilla, blond bombshell bitch
I Ruff Ryde, take your mind shit you doing the same
Work hard now the streets stay shouting our names
Fame is funny, get money, snakes in the grass
When the hostility shows, niggas face get smashed
But I stay grounded, brick house stallion
My bitches keep me real while I make millions
Pile it all, we gon have it all any minute
Give it back the hood and we gon ball in a minute
Cause any thing we want, we gon have it on our plates
Matter of time before we killed the beans it was our fate
And cats were stressed, gave it all they expected less
Disrespect take it back the hood, protect your chest
Try to break us but we broke through
Got the job done, that's what's up we got the job done
Running shit now tell them where I am from

[Chorus:]
Philly, Philly
Philly where I am from
Phily, Philly
Philly where I am from
Philly, Philly
Philly where I am from
Philly, Philly
Philly where I am from
Philly, Philly
Philly where I am from
[fades off into the distance]

Album: Let There Be Eve...Ruff Ryders’ First Lady

Label: Ruff Ryders, Interscope

Swizz Beatz: “I’m big on representing. I come from the South Bronx and in the Bronx you represent. I’ve always been like that. I felt that it was important for Eve—as big as she was getting—to still represent where she was from.

“‘Philly Philly’ was the perfect chance to let people know that she was still Philly even though she was rocking with a New York crew. To stamp that, we got Beanie Sigel—who’s the ultimate stamp of Philly—on that track and kept things on a roots level. It’s very important to bring people back to where there’s some history and take them from there, instead of taking them out of space. That’s too much for them to think about.


THE RUFF RYDERS MOVEMENT IS UNDERRATED. IT WAS A REAL MOVEMENT THAT NO ONE WAS PREPARED FOR. THEY WERE PREPARED FOR A PARTICULAR ARTIST, BUT NO ONE WAS PREPARED FOR 200,000 BIKERS STEMMING FROM A RAP GROUP.

“Back then, I was the conductor of the train. Once people started to understand my craft, they were like, ‘Swizz got it.’ I wanted to be the boss and I ended up being that overnight. Everyone would be out there worrying about other things but when it came to music it was like, ‘Speak to Swizz.’

“Most of the things we were doing went platinum ASAP. The Ruff Ryders movement is underrated. Lately, I’ve seen people being smart about it but for a long time they weren’t. My people were straight hood. It was a real movement that no one was prepared for. They were prepared for a particular artist, but no one was prepared for 200,000 bikers stemming from a rap group.

“Where we came from, we never followed any rules. There was a lot of things that were happening that people couldn’t understand or control. It was crazy but in the middle of all that we were making history. We were breaking records.


ALL OF THE CREWS I SEE NOW HAVE A LITTLE RUFF RYDER ELEMENT IN THEM. I FEEL LIKE WE INFLUENCED G-UNIT, THIS ONE, THAT ONE, A LOT OF THEM.

“We dropped two platinum albums back to back with DMX. Ryde Or Die Vol. 1 was responsible for breaking all of the acts on the album, including outside acts. We broke Drag-On on that, we broke Eve, The Lox. We introduced Beanie Sigel and got Jay-Z on that. It was just a moment that brought hip-hop together and I don’t think people give it enough props.

“It’s about the facts because if you don’t let people know, then they’ll never know. You can be quiet and humble but we don’t’ live in a quiet, humble world. These people don’t understand that the reason they got this crew is because of that crew or that this element came from that element.

“All of the crews I see now have a little Ruff Ryder element in them. All of them. The only one I might take out is Cash Money because we started around the same time. They have their own element and they’ve stuck to their script. I feel like we influenced G-Unit, this one, that one, a lot of them.

“We especially influenced crews from New York. There’s a little bit of our element in there, which isn’t a bad thing. It’s a super good thing. Everybody needs a blueprint. At the time, the Roc-A-Fella and Ruff Ryders movements were competitive. I was there to see all that and it was crazy.”
