Get Low

“Get Low” is the nineteenth track off of Lil Jon & The East Size Boyz 2002 album “Kings of Crunk”, featuring hip-hop duo the Ying Yang Twins.

“Get Low” is known for being the breakthrough track for the genre of crunk music, which was a sub-genre of hip-hop that emerged in the in the early 1990s, and “Get Low” managed to help it become mainstream. There are three radio edits of the track, due to the profanity and sexually explicit content in the track, with the musicians talking about their sexual desires and using slang terms to describe explicit terms. The songs discusses women in an extremely objectifying and insulting way, showing how the hip-hop genre has changed from the early 2000’s to 2019. The song has been used in many films, as well as being remixed by artists such as Busta Rhymes, Pitbull and Snoop Dogg.
