15 Fantastic Booty Shaking Anthems | Playlist 🎧

1. Chris Brown, “Wobble Up”

Ft. Nicki Minaj & G-Eazy

💿 Indigo • 🏷 RCA • 🗓 2019

🎵“Wobble Up” is a banger through in through.  The 💿Indigo standout is catchy, but certainly nothing different from what 🎙Chris Brown has done since transforming into a bad boy. “Wobble Up” finds him continuing to be sexed-up to the nth degree, evidenced by the key line of the risqué chorus: “Wobble on that dick, wobble up, wobble-wobble up.” He’s incredibly hedonistic on the following verse, closing out with the following lyrics: “Huh, your ex-n*gga, he was dumb as fuck / Soon as I gave her the dick, she fallin’ in love.”

Unsurprisingly, 🎙Nicki Minaj responds to Brown’s sexual vibes with her own filth on the second verse, including the unfortunate lyric, “When I bust a nut, I don’t ever wanna cuddle up.” Of course 🎙G-Eazy continues his fuckboy ways, asserting, “So, I pulled up while her man’s at work / Yeah, she had the night shift, I made her cancel work / Then I asked her twerk on the D, I pulled out, splashed her shirt.” Oh my… Adding to the filth is the 🎙Magnolia Shorty sample, 🎵“Monkey on the D$CK”.

2. Denzel Curry, “Shake 88”

💿 ZUU • 🏷 Loma Vista • 🗓 2019

“Nothin’ but tutti-fruity / Get on the floor if you got that booty, booty!” 💿ZUU, the 2019 album by Carol City, Florida rapper 🎙Denzel Curry may only run 29 minutes, but it’s a worthwhile 29 minutes.  Ultimately, there’s never a dull moment, with Curry maintaining high energy and dropping some stellar bars.  Even a low-IQ banger like the song at hand, 🎵“Shake 88,” is worthwhile.

“Shake 88” is exactly what you think it is – an a$$-$haking anthem.  It’s not deep, nor is it meant to be in the least.  Denzel Curry says it best himself: “She gon’ shake that ass ‘cause she only live once.” Notably, “Shake 88” features an outro by 🎙 Sam Sneak, complementing the ‘a$$-$haking’ sentiment of the record.  We could say more, but really, there’s nothing more to say.

3. Lizzo, “Tempo”

Ft. Missy Elliott

💿 Cuz I Love You • 🏷 Nice Life / Atlantic • 🗓 2019

“Slow songs, they for skinny hoes / Can’t move all of this here to one of those / I’m a thick bitch, I need tempo / Fuck it up to the tempo.” Unapologetic and unafraid are two ways you can characterize 🎙Lizzo, who released her debut album, 💿Cuz I Love You, in 2019.  On the short, but hella sweet and feisty 🎵“Tempo”, the Minneapolis pop/hip-hop/R&B artist enlists a legend for the assist – 🎙Missy Elliott.  “Tempo” appeared on the playlist 🎧11 Awesome Songs that Tickled My Fancy in March 2019 for good reason.

 “Tempo” shines from the tip.  The production is awesome, incorporating a hard-hitting hip-hop beat, slinky-sounding synths, as well as some cool, unexpected musical interjections.  As great as the production is, it is the performance by Lizzo herself that sells “Tempo.” She’s on autopilot as she flaunts and touts her big, beautiful body, throwing ample swagger and sex game at the boys.  Key vocabulary to remember – ass, kitty cat, wet, jack, cake, icing.  Beyond her own stellar, hyper-sexual performance, the legendary Missy Elliott ‘brings the heat’ on the third verse, sounding as if she’d never been on an extended hiatus.  As usual, we get some terrific sound effects from Elliott to go alongside being the hype woman for the plus-sized crowd – “I’m big-boned with nice curves.” All in all, “Tempo” is an ultra-fabulous, infectious banger that is equal parts shallow and equal parts deep.  Who wouldn’t shake booty to this one?  And we know Lizzo can twerk!

4. Tyga, “Goddamn”

💿 Legendary • 🏷 Last Kings Music / EMPIRE • 🗓 2019

“(Goddamn) You a bad bitch, come and get your rent paid / Ain’t got time for no drama, but today the day.” 🎙Tyga, known for filthy hits such as “Rack City”, “Faded” and the trashy 2018 record “Dip,” keeps it incredibly ‘classy’ (cough* cough*) on the explicitly-titled single, 🎵“Goddamn” from his 2019 LP, 💿Legendary.  Hmm… Legendary huh? Anyways, what’s the focus of the California rapper? Why his drip and sex of course!

The production work (🎙d.a. doman) is interesting on “Goddamn,” blending hip-hop with a country-western vibe; it’s not nearly as pronounced as say 🎵“Old Town Road”, but the fiddle gives it a dash of country sensibility. The chorus – excerpted above and continued below – is shallow, as to be expected:

“(Goddamn) You a bad bitch, come and get your rent paid
Ain’t got time for no drama, but today the day
(Goddamn) And my watch gotta be president
You coming with me, I don’t care what your friend say.”

Later, the post-chorus is a continuation, exemplifying the shallowness as Tyga spits, “Move your panties to the side, I be in it all night.” Prior to that, he’s dripped-up and, sexed-up, rapping at the end of the first verse and on the following pre-chorus:

“And she in the backroom working, working
Fucking on my lap and she cursing, cursing
N***a like me, I don’t show no mercy
When it get wet, feel like I’m surfing.”

The second verse is patterned similarly, with Tyga referencing his Lambo, as well as his sexual prowess (“Beat it like ‘Billie Jean’, then I say hee hee (hee hee)”).  Don’t let the country vibes fool you – this is another one where the butt does its thing, YEE HAW!

5. City Girls, “Act Up”

💿 Girl Code • 🏷 Quality Control Music / Motown / Capitol • 🗓 2018

“Act up, you can get snatched up / Dirty-ass nails, baby girl, you need to back up.” 🎙City Girls – 🎙JT and 🎙Yung Miami – are chocked-full of attitude.  Their hit single, 🎵“Act Up,” which appears on the 2018 LP (or EP, whatever it is) 💿Girl Code, has no shortage of attitude, edginess, or badass-ness.  Yeah, you can argue if “Act Up” is a true, booty-shaking anthem besides the twerking that occurs at select moments of the accompanying music video, but with that beat and energy, butts will be tearing da club down “actin’ up.”

Over the course of three verses, JT and Yung Miami make it clear that they are the HBIC (head bitches in charge).  On the first verse, JT asserts, “I ain’t got time for you fake-ass hoes / Talkin’ all loud in them fake-ass clothes / Fake-ass shoes match that fake-ass gold / I’m the realest bitch ever to you snake-ass hoes.” Well, with so many mentions of the word ‘ass,’ how could this not be a booty shaking anthem, right?  As for Yung Miami, she’s not outdone:

“I bet your lil’ sister wanna look like me (Lil’ bitch)
I bet your lil’ brother wanna fuck on me
Hood bitch, good pussy, I ain’t average
Um, he can’t come around without that cabbage (nah)
Um, pop a pussy bitch quick, like a bubblegum
I ain’t never worry, I just deal with it for fun.”

There are many more unapologetic happenings, but isn’t that the expectation with a title like “Act Up?” Twerkers will eat this one up!

6. Yo Gotti, “Rake It Up”

Ft. Nicki Minaj

💿 I Still Am • 🏷 Epic • 🗓 2017

“I tell all my hoes: rake it up / Break it down, bag it up / Fuck it up, fuck it up (fuck it up, fuck it up) / Back it up, back it up (back it up, back it up).”  Yup – prepare to shake ass! In 2017, Memphis rapper 🎙Yo Gotti enlisted 🎙Nicki Minaj for another infectious, irresistible banger, 🎵“Rake it Up”. For some context, Nicki Minaj appeared on the remix of Gotti’s biggest hit of his career, “Down in the DM” (the Instagram anthem). Naturally, “Rake It Up,” a highlight from 💿I Still Am, looks to reap the benefits of the catchiness of “Down in the DM.” As ridiculous as it is, it successfully executes the plan.

From the jump, “Rake It Up” gets stuck in your head.  As much as you try to avoid this, it’s just not possible.  Yo Gotti knows exactly what he’s doing.  The sound is clearly sleazy AF, but its sinfulness draws you in.  Likewise, Gotti’s rhymes are “not that innocent” either, yet, irresistible.  The key is the aforementioned hook. Nicki Minaj arrives on the second verse, as risqué and unapologetic as ever.  She provides us with an obligatory reference to the Rolls-Royce Wraith, as well as sex. She matches the intensity and tone established by Yo Gotti.  Collaboratively, they make a formidable pair.  Not to be outdone on his own song, Gotti drops more bars on the third verse. “Rake It Up” goes hella dumb, but hey, it’s a surefire winner.

7. Rae Sremmurd, “Shake it Fast”

Ft. Juicy J

💿 Sremmlife 2 • 🏷 Interscope • 🗓 2016

“Shake it fast, shake it fast, shake it fast, bitch shake it fast / Don’t be playin’ when you see us, see us spendin’ cash.” Perhaps the music video that accompanies 🎵“Shake it Fast,” a highlight from the 💿Sremmlife 2, best represents the ‘booty shaking’ ways of the record. ‘Course, the aforementioned chorus, performed by 🎙Slim Jxmmi, ‘shows the deck’ pretty clearly in its own right. Southern rap duo 🎙Rae Sremmurd (🎙Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi) clearly “make it rain” with bills of money.  Within the first couple of seconds of the video, there’s some ‘cellulite’ and twerk action occurring.

After Slim Jxmmi delivers the infectious chorus, he drops a sexually-charged verse that commences with the lyric, “Bitch shake that ass like I’m Too $hort.” He doesn’t stop there, as he later asks her, “You gon’ let me hit you with this wood or not?” not to mention the fact he’s “Got a bitch in Hollywood, she good with the top / Pussy pop, pussy pop.” Swae Lee doesn’t let his bro have all the fun, adding on the second verse, “I wanna hit the bottom girl and your best friend,” as well as “She gon’ shake it cause we mean something’ to the city / Every time she contort it, I support it.” Of course, 🎙Juicy J comes along for the ride as well on this strip anthem (“Gon’ shake that ass, make it rain, make it splash / Outta cash, bout to swipe my black card between her ass…”). Adding to the sketchy, suspect nature of “Shake it Fast” is the marvelous, minor-key production work of 🎙Steve “The Sauce” Hybicki and 🎙Bryce Smith.

8. Nicki Minaj, “Anaconda”

💿 The Pinkprint • 🏷 Cash Money • 🗓 2014

“Oh my gosh, look at her butt!” Arguably, there’s really not that much privacy when it comes to the bars that 🎙Nicki Minaj spits.  Sex, and ample doses of it, are a big part of her persona. Several Nicki Minaj songs could appear on this private list, but none is more fitting than 🎵“Anaconda,” the crème de la crème of her 2014 album, 💿The Pinkprint.

“My anaconda don’t, my anaconda don’t
My anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns, hun!”

“Anaconda,” which samples the 🎙Sir-Mix-a-Lot classic 🎵“Baby Got Back”, explores animalistic tendencies in regard to sex. “Anaconda” is chocked-full of sex (understatement) and is one of the horniest records you’ll ever hear. Minaj not only discusses her ‘assets’ and her private parts, but she also discusses his ‘size’ and how the sex goes down:

“This dude named Michael used to ride motorcycles
Dick bigger than a tower, I ain’t talking about Eiffel’s
Real country-ass n***a, let me play with his rifle
Pussy put his ass to sleep, now he calling me Nyquil...
He can tell I ain’t missing no meals
Come through and fuck him in my automobile
Let him eat it with his grills and he tellin’ me to chill...”

“Anaconda” has graced a number of playlists, including 🎧11 Songs to Channel Your Inner Animal, 🎧11 Totally Animalistic Songs, and 🎧15 Songs That Focus on Private Matters.

9. Juicy J, “Bandz a Make Her Dance”

Ft. Lil Wayne & 2 Chainz

💿 Stay Trippy • 🏷 Columbia • 🗓 2013

“Bands a make her dance, bands a make her dance / All these chicks poppin’ pussy, I’m just poppin’ bands /… These chicks clappin’, and they ain’t using hands.” To quote 🎙Wale via a particular 🎙Waka Flocka Flame hit, “She said, ‘Look ma, no hands!’” Of course, this isn’t 🎵“No Hands” we’re talking about, this is 🎵“Bandz a Maker Her Dance,” the biggest hit of 🎙Juicy J, at least as a solo artist. The best way to describe the aforementioned chorus is sketchy, yet infectious. Essentially, Juicy J is throwing money (bands) at these strippers to satisfy his lust.  If it wasn’t clear, the strippers are ‘clapping’ using their cheeks…

“Bandz A Make Her Dance” is certainly representative of Juicy J at his juiciest. On the first verse, he spits, “She put that ass up in my hands, I remote control it (yeah ho)”.  🎙Lil Wayne promotes good ole sex on his guest verse (“…bands a maker her dance, Tunechi make her cum / Hit it from the side like a motherfucking bass drum…”) as does 🎙2 Chainz (“…Let me see that ass clap, standing ovation / If yo girl don’t swallow kids, man that ho basic…”). Nasty, tasteless, and misogynistic, it’s irresistibly so, but at least Juicy J manages to 💿Stay Trippy, fueled by a sleek 🎙Mike WiLL Made-It beat.  “Bandz a Make Her Dance” previously appeared on the playlist 11 Songs Associated with the Word ‘Strip’.

10. Jason Derulo, “Wiggle”

Ft. Snoop Dogg

💿 Talk Dirty • 🏷 Warner Bros. • 🗓 2013

“You know what to do with that big fat butt…wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.” So, can there really be a booty shaking playlist that excludes the 🎙Jason Derulo hit 🎵“Wiggle”?  There could be, but it’s not this one – we include that 💿Talk Dirty stand out in the mix. Contextually, “Wiggle” certainly doesn’t add any greater sophistication to Talk Dirty, but it’s definitely an infectious bop.

“Patty cake, patty cake, with no hands / Got me in this club, making wedding plans…” Hmm, really Jason, really? Later, adding to raunchy ridiculous, Derulo sings, “Hot damn it, your booty like two planets / Go ahead and go ham sandwich.” Evidenced by its utterly dumb ass lyrics, and matching the slinky nature of the album’s title track, “Wiggle” is another track concentrated on getting down sans genuine, authentic emotions. With 🎙Snoop Dogg assisting, confirmation is provided that it’s gotten “Hot” and X-rated.

“Shake what your mamma gave you, misbehave you
I just wanna strip you, dip you, flip you, bubble bathe you...
Can you wiggle-wiggle for the D-O-double G again?”

11. Wale, “Clappers”

Ft. Juicy J & Nicki Minaj

💿 The Gifted • 🏷 Atlantic • 🗓 2013

“Shawty got a big ole butt, oh yeah!” The majority of 💿The Gifted, the 2013 LP by rapper 🎙Wale, is more intellectual than not. 🎵“Clappers” is NOT intellectual, as Wale proclaims the aforementioned butt-adoration lyric with utmost enthusiasm. Perhaps Folarin was influenced by the brash company he keeps on the record.

“Can you clap that ass, do a handstand girl / Make your booty wiggle, do a perfect split.” Those sexed-up lyrics hail from the ever-trippy 🎙Juicy J – “Bandz [INDEED] a Make Her Dance.” He also adds on his verse, “Make that ass clap, I don’t care about cellulite.” 🎙Nicki Minaj also joins Wale, and proudly she expresses her love for ‘something you can feel’ (“Shout out to that cellulite…”). Before either arrives, Wale urges her – or them – to “Bounce, bounce, bounce…”

12. French Montana, “Pop That”

Ft. Rick Ross, Drake & Lil Wayne

💿 Excuse My French • 🏷 Interscope • 🗓 2013

“Don’t stop, pop that, don’t stop / Pop that pop that pop that.” It’s fitting that 🎵“Pop That” commences with an 🎙Uncle Luke sample.  If there was any doubt regarding the subject matter of this 🎙French Montana gem, also included on the playlist 🎧11 Songs Associated with the Word ‘Strip’, well, French and his compadres clarify throughout the course of the record.

“Work, work, work, work, work, work
What you twerk with
Throw it, bust it open
Show me what you twerk with
Ass so fat need a lap dance...”

“Pop That” is nasty, but electrifyingly so. French Montana and his boys (🎙Rick Ross, 🎙Drake, and 🎙Lil Wayne) rock out on this salacious anthem. French Montana plays up both ‘molly’ and money (“…We pop a molly, she buss it open / She seen the ‘gatti [Bugatti that is], that pussy soaking…”) while Rick Ross loves “… Big booty bitches, my life a Godfather picture / Local club in my city, I fell in love with a stripper…” Drake goes poetic on verse three while Tunechi (aka Lil Wayne) keeps it sexual to the nth degree.  Can you say booty-shaking, p-poppin’ anthem?

13. 2 Chainz, “Birthday Song”

Ft. Kanye West

💿 Based on a T.R.U. Story • 🏷 Def Jam • 🗓 2012

“All I want for my birthday is a big booty ho / all I want for my birthday is a big booty hoe.” I would venture to say that for most, 🎵“Birthday Song” doesn’t quite capture what we expect to receive on our birthdays.  For 🎙2 Chainz, on the crowning achievement from his debut album, 💿Based on a T.R.U. Story (2012), he wants to have sex with a sexy ho on his birthday.  Hook-ups are temporary pleasure, and clearly, on his birthday, 2 Chainz is thinking with his pants and ‘getting some’ as they say.  For good measure, the accompanying music video adds plenty of twerking, which is just another reason to add “Birthday Song” to the list of Fantastic Booty Shaking Anthems.

As dumb as “Birthday Song” goes, it’s infectious to the nth degree.  The chorus is the crowning achievement of the song that is the crowning achievement of Based on a T.R.U. Story:

“They ask me what I do and who I do it for
And how I come up with this shit up in the studio
All I want for my birthday is a big booty ho...
When I die, bury me inside the Gucci store
When I die, bury me inside the Louis store…”

Beside the outlandish lyrics, there are plenty of other highlights. Among those highlights is the creative production work, which serves as a great backdrop for both 2 Chainz and featured guest, 🎙Kanye West. Following the chorus, there’s contrast – a change of pace – that keeps “Birthday Song” fresh from a musical standpoint.  That’s not to say that this is a lyrical masterpiece by any means, but with some musical contrast, it makes things even more enjoyable.  Arguably, West out-raps 2 Chainz on the second verse, while the combined effort by both rappers is fantastic on the third verse.  “Birthday Song” previously appeared on the birthday-centric playlist, 🎧15 Must-Hear Songs to Celebrate Your Birthday.

14. Travis Porter, “Bring it Back”

💿 From Day 1 • 🏷 RCA • 🗓 2012

“Run and hit that pussy like a crash dummy (Run it) / Bend it over, touch ya toes / Shake that ass for me (Shake) / Bounce that ass on the flow, bring it back up (Back up).” Provocative, provocative, PROVOCATIVE! Honestly, what more can you say about 🎵“Bring it Back,” a certified, booty-shaking banger from rap collective 🎙Travis Porter.  “Bring it Back” is definitely a bright spot from their 2012 debut LP, 💿From Day 1.

Sure, “Bring it Back” totally lacks in profundity – there is no substance whatsoever.  But who can deny this is one hell of a banger, tailor-made for bum-shaking at the club? Okay –straight up twerking at the club.  The lust is real, the misogyny is real… yeah, it’s pretty bad when you analyze it from that lens.  Still, Travis Porter gets a totally malicious, sick backdrop to be ‘bad boys’ on – that counts for something, right?

15. Big Sean, “Dance (A$$) Remix”

Ft. Nicki Minaj

💿 Finally Famous • 🏷 Def Jam • 🗓 2011

“Ass, ass, ass / stop, now make that motherfucker hammer time like / go stupid…” Indeed, 🎙Big Sean goes absolutely stupid on 🎵“Dance (A$$) Remix” from his 2011 debut album, 💿Finally Famous.  Initially released as a solo track, the remix would grace later editions of Finally Famous, featuring a then ubiquitous 🎙Nicki Minaj (“Wobbledy wobble, wo-wo-wobble, wobbin’ / Ass so fat, all these bitches’ pussies is throbbin’”).

“You’re the best, you deserve a crown bitch / Right on that ass.”  Yeah, the excerpted lyrics from Big Sean should speak to the lack of profundity occurring on “Dance (A$$) Remix.” Even so, it marked an incredibly successful and irresistibly catchy single – among the crème de la crème of his career.   And honestly, Sean is certainly tamer than 🎙Mystikal, who was much bolder on his 2000 hit, 🎵“Shake Ya Ass”. Still, this the perfect anthem to get your twerk on – understatement.  Why? Well, there are more than 100 mentions of the word ‘ass’ throughout the course of the song.  That’s a lot of ass for sure!
