[pcw8videos1]

[extremejds29]

2:13 fake white blackhawks jersey.

[jlherdegen]

@extremejds29 Watchu talkin 'bout Willis? Indian head isn't the right size or something?

[Cubbieblu2310]

Nice Lyrics man Only I would make one small change to the part about the Hawks my lyrics would be

Waynes World made the Indian Head more famous than Towes and Kane

[jlherdegen]

@Cubbieblu2310 Hey, not bad! We totally forgot about Wayne's World!

[Cubbieblu2310]

@jlherdegen No problem.

[FuzzumsProductions]

yo you are an embarassment to all of us white rappers tryin to make it in this game

[jlherdegen]

@FuzzumsProductions Okay, goofball. If you think we're serious rappers then you don't have a chance in hell to "make it in this game". Make a fun video and get some views, will ya!? YO!

[dillonleonard619]

Oh hell no... Not on Vikiqueens here fool.. what the hell is wrong with you.. BUT CHICAGO IS THE BEST.... President OBAMA also

[pryorpad123]

chi-town.



[animation508]

*cough* cubs *cough* sorry :(

[spizzel]

You should think about representing the real Chicago baseball team The White Sox. So the Video was just O.k. sorry if you want 5 stars throw it up for the White Sox.

[jlherdegen]

@spizzel Haha. Thanks man, but the White Sox suck. They're right behind the Yankees for most hated teams in my book. I'm not a huge Cubs fan either if that makes you feel any better :)

[spizzel]

@jlherdegen. HaHaHa I live in Vegas now, been here 15 years and I will 4ever be a Chicago White Sox/Blackhawks Fan for better or worst. This video was awesome. GO BULLS.

[Cflow27]

I just got back from my first ever trip to chicago and i loved it!

[jlherdegen]

@Cflow27 Awesome city!

[baixiaolang]

Well, the voice on the chorus needed to be a lot stronger, but I liked this overall. I wasn't crazy that the last two choruses took the words right out of the original song, but other than that, well done! I love the way the Chicago Theater looks at night~

[jlherdegen]

@baixiaolang Thanks bud! Yeah, we're obviously not singers or rappers. Lol. Just a couple of goofy kids having some fun in Chicago!

[IslandersLIFE4]

What would chicago do without the blackhawks right now? The only team thats we know for sure In Chicago that will be a contender on a consistant basis for the next 5-10 years. Check out the Nassau County state of Mind (long Island's version)

Lets go Islanders!!

[jlherdegen]

@IslandersLIFE4 Go Bulls.

[fourthborn]

Wow yall really did a good job two thumbs up, damn I miss Chicago!!! both of you did good but the first guys lyrics and delivery was on point lol

[jlherdegen]

@fourthborn Thank you sir! Chicago certainly is a fun city!

[Manulover2010]

u cant rap m8

[jlherdegen]

@Manulover2010 Cheers

[chicityjoka]

lol y take the amtrak u from minnesota it takes like 4 hours instead of the 6 hour train ride there

[jlherdegen]

@chicityjoka We're crazy like that.

[Redsox82696]

I liked the lyrics. You were a little out of tune on some parts, but I thought you did a really nice job on it.

[jlherdegen]

@Redsox82696 Thank you! Go Sox!

[26Deacon]

@jlherdegen LOL! dam joe u should've got up with me to tune this up. your heart is in the right place tho. CHI-CITY BABY!

[JordyCastilloCab]

es una parodia que ofende a la version original de nueva york! muy mal

[MilkDrinkerIntl]

@JordyCastilloCab We speak English in US! Go back to Mexico!

[jlherdegen]

@JordyCastilloCab Gracias, amigo. Chicago es una parodia that's numero uno!

[indiodemexico]

damn this is the highest quality chicago version of this song and its not even a serious attempt. all the other songs have weak production but the artists are really trying. nothing against you dude, cuz you snapped..but if our local emcees had these kinda resources we could actually have a decent chicago version of this. Which sort of gives me an idea. Why dont rich people in chicago who love hip hop throw some money at a real artist and we can make a chicago classic.

[jlherdegen]

@indiodemexico It's nice to know some people understand that we're not trying to be serious artists. This was merely an attempt to gain some production skills and have fun in the process. Definitely appreciate your kind words, bro!

[TheEclectic]

This is good editing, but I gotta say I prefer this Chi City version -> /watch?v=D4QUPXwc_cw

[baixiaolang]

@TheEclectic I'm not sure how I feel about that version. it has some great shots, but then juxtapositions them with pictures of riots, ghettos and homeless people...it's like...I don't know if THAT'S something I should be proud about, lol.

[Yingyang9990]

haha. i had to watch it again!

[Yingyang9990]

First of all who uses the word "hella"? that alone is "hella gay"! I cant believe some people dont like this video, I dont know who the hell these Herdy Bros are but this video had me up and dancing around! I sing the chi town version every time i hear this damn some on the radio now! Good work Herdy Bros! Make another one ! Im waiting for the next video! Do it up

[jlherdegen]

@Yingyang9990 Thanks a lot, Yingyang! Happy to hear you enjoyed it. You'll be the first to know when we release another vid... Thanks again!

[brittanyliebl]

great video, i loved it! now you just need to come out with the twin cities version!!!

[jlherdegen]

@brittanyliebl We appreciate your kind words! We'll have to work on something for the cities soon. Maybe we'll even hire a singer ;-)

[bboicrazy8]

[jlherdegen]

[exilednight1]

This is horrible. This isn't even a parody, it's a sad, sad ripoff.

[jlherdegen]

[AliFricke22]

LOL

[jlherdegen]

Hello Alyssa! Thanks for your kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed it! :-)

[mystery8864]

that was pretty good

[FallOfFingolfin]

Vikings?

"The" Navy Pier?

[jonathandelaroca]

HAHA I think it should be all about Chicago... but I like!

[jlherdegen]

Thanks! Yeah, we went back and forth on that, but we just hate the Bears so bad that it would've been difficult for us :-)

[jonathandelaroca]

It's okay we all hated the Bears for a bit this yeah LOL...

[prego323]

Parody on Chicago???? I thought parodies were supposed to be funny. This is just bad.

[jlherdegen]

Perhaps the usage of the word parody needs to be scolded here; however, we dont claim to be professional rappers, singers or songwriters so this isnt to be taken seriously. I guess we tried to create a poor imitation (definition of parody) of the original video, but based in Chicago. Just having a good time and taking in some of the sites while visiting Chicago. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to insult us! Cheers mate!

[MrRyguy1227]

i dont care what anybody says this video is genius! absolutely incredible! great job boys! cant wait for the next project! you guys got something special keep it coming!

[MaedayLove]

I liked the MN version better. But this wasn't bad.

[TheAfternoonDLight]

Great vid but you should work on the rapping tho. haha. Not that we're the best but we're just saying.

[jlherdegen]

Agreed. Perhaps we can exchange some skills next time ;-)

Just saying.

[05TiffanyF]

This is great! I love it! And very talented editing skills I must add :)

[MrSiouxHockey]

This video is AWESOME, better then Jayz version. Go Chi-town! Good work Herdys
