Be sure to check out the official Get Up anthems for Chicago brought to you by Tres Generaciones Tequila.
Tetris Kelly:
Hi, I'm Tetris Kelly with Billboard and Tres Generaciones Tequila asking residents of the Windy City which song best represents them. We're trying to find Chicago's most popular anthem. As you walk through the streets of Chicago, what neighborhood do you live in?
Guest 1:
I live in Hyde Park.
Tetris Kelly:
Tell me about the history of music in Chicago. What is the anthem that makes this city vibrate?
Guest 1:
For me, personally, it's Chief Keef's “Faneto.” It's the beat, it's the lyrics. It's very different to me. But for some reason, I love it.
Tetris Kelly:
What is the anthem of Chicago?
Guest 2:
“Kill S–t” by Herb. Every time I hear it, everyone points their lasers forward and knows the first minute and a half is insane.
Tetris Kelly:
Oh, you say, you know the first minute and a half, let me put you on the spot.
Guest 2:
Are you going to put me in a bind?
Tetris Kelly:
Let's do it!
Guest 2:
[Singing]
Tetris Kelly:
There you go! That's Chicago, baby. Tell me, what's the anthem of this city?
Guest 3:
I'm gonna say Kanye “Homecoming.”
Tetris Kelly:
Ugh, “Homecoming.”
Guest 4:
I'm from the south side.
Tetris Kelly:
What's the best thing about the South Side?
Guest 4:
All.
Tetris Kelly:
What song do you think best represents Chicago?
Guest 4:
“Wife Er” by Spenzo represents Chicago.
Keep watching for more!
