"Shake Ya Tailfeather" is a single by the rappers Nelly, P. Diddy and Murphy Lee, released in 2003 from the Bad Boys II Soundtrack. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, giving Murphy Lee the first, Nelly the third and P. Diddy the fourth number one on this chart. Also, the song was included on Lee's debut album, Murphy's Law.
The song won the award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the Grammy Awards of 2004.
The video features appearances by Esther Baxter and future June 2004 Playboy Playmate Hiromi Oshima .
The song's introduction features the Florida State University "War Chant."
The video starts with all three of them eating and talking in a dining stall.
Nelly raps the first verse and the bridge, P. Diddy raps verse two and Murphy Lee raps the third verse. In the chorus, Nelly and P. Diddy take turns rapping in each line, with the War Chant melody in the background.
In the clean version, the word "thumpin'" is mistaked for "fuckin'" and sounds like it, and is therefore censored, along with the words "shit", and "grass", but not "ass", which is said in the chorus.
