When Nelly entered the rap game spitting “Down, down baby … Shimmy, Shimmy cocoa pop” rhymes, staunch Hip Hop heads experienced convulsions thinking the future St. Louis legend was turning the culture into Mother Goose.

Take a look at some of the best ones below and give us your take in the comment section.
