To YG fans, it may take come every bit a surprise that "My Nigga" took off the way it did. Afterwards all, dude had been making comparable if not better and catchier songs with DJ Mustard for years.

Having catapulted himself to the forefront of catchy-claw stardom with that vocal virtually vague emotional responses to jealousy, Quan was able to strike again while the iron was still hot with the "My Nigga" chorus. YG himself switches upwardly his own catamenia for this 1, sing-rapping through his ode to his fellow man. Young Jeezy comes through as the older brother to smooth his veteran sense of camaraderie onto the young bucks, and it feels genuine.
