Background[edit]
'Ride wit Me' features a sound similar to 'Get Down on It' by Kool and the Gang; indeed, it is in the same key (E minor) and uses almost identical chord progressions in the refrain alone. The song samples lines from the song 'I Like It' by DeBarge, specifically those which read: 'I like the way you brush your hair, and I like those stylish clothes you wear'.

The official remix was also produced by Jason 'Jay E' Epperson and then placed in Nelly's remix album, Da Derrty Versions: The Reinvention. It also features City Spud's verse from the original and John Mayer on the guitar. It samples Mayer's single, 'No Such Thing'.
Chart performance[edit]
In the United States, 'Ride wit Me' became Nelly's highest charting single at the time, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100.
In the United Kingdom, 'Ride wit Me' debuted and peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Nelly's highest charting song in Britain until October 2002, when his duet with Kelly Rowland, 'Dilemma', became his first UK chart-topping single.
Music video[edit]
The music video won Best Rap Video at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2001. Due to the jail sentence he was then serving, City Spud did not appear in the video. The video also received a nomination for Viewer's Choice. A Philadelphia 76ers version of the song was released during the 2001 NBA Finals. The video is mainly based on the 1977 film Smokey and the Bandit, although references to the 1980s TV show The Dukes of Hazzard and the film Cool Hand Luke are also present in the video.

In a scene from the Glee episode 'Throwdown', New Directions can be seen having a jam session, and they sing the first chorus and first verse of this song. Accompanying the jam are Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) on drums, and Noah 'Puck' Puckerman (Mark Salling) on guitar. The version seen on Glee was not recorded in the studio like most of the songs featured on Glee, but was sung during filming by the actors.
A new version has been used in a Honey Nut Cheerios commercial sung as 'Must Be the Honey', which features Nelly talking to its mascot, Buzz.
