Earlier this week, Kanye West dropped his epic new song "Theraflu" which was loaded with quoteables. The song is already controvesial thanks to Kim Kardashian, the makers of Theraflu, and PETA. It's also the reason this kid made one of the greatest song reviews of all time (OF ALL TIME!). And it's why everyone outside of Chicago is wondering, "Who is DJ Pharris?" 

But there's something else non-Chi Town natives are probably wondering; What are all those neigborhoods getting shouted out at the end? To help you get your bearings, we got our Google Map on and reached out to the homie at fakeshoredrive.com to put together this handy Guide To All The Chicago Neighborhoods on Kanye West's "Theraflu."
