Juvenile's "Back that Azz Up" Holds Up Really Well to the Test of Time

You can admit it, you got pretty excited when you heard those first few notes kick in, that familiar "awww yeaahhhh" feeling crept over you, maybe you hunched your shoulders forward, bent your knees ever so slightly, and got your crip walk on, or maybe that part was just me...But I'll guarantee you this, you didn't feel disappointed, and that's amazing. 

Now think about this, Back that Azz up is 13 years old! It's almost as old as 'tween sensation Lil Wayne was when he invented the phrase drop it like its hot, on this song as a 16 year old. That's how old this song is, it invented drop it like its hot. Snoop has lived off that phrase for the better part of a decade now, shit is amazing.  

I could never have imagined as a high school freshmen, that this band of hooligans, led by Mannie Fresh, Juvenile, and then "hot boy" lil wayne would revolutionize the rap game, but that's exactly what they did. Like yesterday, I heard this song on the radio and straight up got my swerve on in the car. Doing all the "white guy listening to rap" moves.  The weird hand signals, bobbing my head a little faster than the beat, reclined in the driver seat just a little bit (but remembered to adjust my mirrors, safety first folks), and just annihilated this song. If a song doesn't die from me creeping all over it on my way to pick up Texas Roadhouse To-Go, you know its got legs. Just an absolutely legendary song.


PS: what the hell ever happened to Juvenile and his ridiculous fronts?
