Diddy's 4th of July bash this past weekend. Now, the pair are putting their friendship on wax by freestyling for the fans and the haters.

Is Weezy really the best MC from The Bayou?

Keys 2 the City — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 22:30:38 -0000

New Orleans is a city with a rich and diverse musical history. It's was the birthplace of jazz in the 1930’s and the birthplace of “Bling Bling” in the 90's. Even before Lil Wayne stepped up his game to become the best rapper alive, New Orleans was home to a host of hot emcees from Juvenile to BG and Lil’ Boosie to Curren$y. To celebrate the rich roots of a city on the mend, we’ve compiled a list of all the Lousianimals putting it down from Baton Rouge on down to the Bayou.

MIA takes her first turn in the director's chair and leads the young spitter and a gang of neon-clad dancers to a dingy Baltimore club where they proceed to go absolutely crazy with native dances like the "Crazy Legs" and the "Spongebob." The video also features some super lo-fi video effects and scrappy animation that makes it fit right in with this recession.

You have to see it to believe these dance moves
