From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Party People" is a song by American rapper Nelly, featuring American pop/R&B singer Fergie. It is recorded for Nelly's fifth studio album, Brass Knuckles, and also appears on the deluxe edition of Fergie's debut album, The Dutchess. The track is produced by Polow da Don, and was released as the lead single from the album.
[edit] Song information
The song was originally intended for Fergie's debut album, The Dutchess (the Deluxe Edition on which it will now appear), and featured Miami-based rapper Trina. In yet another (see Love in This Club) example of Polow da Don releasing tracks or beats before they were intended, he played the track for Nelly who immediately decided that he wanted to use the beat.[1]
Since charting in the UK at number 38 in April 2008, the song has continuously climbed the chart and has so far peaked at number 14, which is disappointing according his previous hits that have reached the top five.
[edit] Music video
Fergie and Nelly singing in the music video.
The video was shot in Los Angeles, California and directed by Marc Webb.[2] Polow da Don and Keri Hilson make cameos in the video. The video premiered on MTV on April 14, 2008.[citation needed] The video begins with many lights switching on revealling a large underground room where the room is suddenly filled with many people. We see Fergie on a swing high above the ground while Nelly rises up out of the ground in a cloud of smoke. The rest of the video continues with Nelly and Fergie rapping into the camera while breaking up fights at the party and images of Fergie walking along a walkway as well as jumping on Nelly's back. In the middle of the video Nelly and Fergie rap aggressively at each other atop a raised platform before another short image shows Fergie sitting on the swing again. The video ends with a cameo from R&B singer Keri Hilson sporting a black T-shirt sporting the slogan "Hip Hop Aint Dead".
As of June 15, 2008 the music video for "Party People" has been viewed 2,037,016 times on popular video-sharing website YouTube.
