(2025), we break down “Get Low” performed by Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz.
“3-6-9, damn, she fine / I’m hopin’ she can sock it to me one more time / And roll, get low (get low) / Get low (Get low), get low (Get low, yay, yay).” Hot damn! Tear the club up! Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz, assisted by Ying Yang Twins, constructed an unforgettable gem with “Get Low”. Rap it with me:
“To the window (To the window)
To the wall. (To the wall)
‘Til sweat drip down my balls (My balls)
‘Til all these bitches crawl (Crawl)
‘Til all skeet-skeet, motherfucker (Motherfucker)
‘Til all skeet-skeet, goddamn (A-goddamn)
‘Til all skeet-skeet, motherfucker (Motherfucker)
‘Til all skeet-skeet, goddamn (A-goddamn).”
That beloved chorus, performed by Kaine, D-Roc, and Lil Jon (Jonathan Smith) never fails to get me hyped up. “Get Low” is the 17th track on Lil Jon’s double platinum, 2002 album, Kings of Crunk. It reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 in October 2003. In addition to being credited as a writer, Lil Jon produced this highlight of the crunk era. A syncopated beat and repetitive, slinky-sounding synths highlight the accompaniment.
The five-and-a-half-minute-long “Get Low” commences with an infectious intro. The chorus, the first major section of the song, excerpted above, is one the most memorable of the 2000s. The lyrics throughout “Get Low” are raunchy as fuck (see what I did there). “Shawty crunk, so fresh, so clean / Can she fuck? That question been harassing me,” Kaine spits in the first verse. D-Roc brings his raunch to the second verse: “Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz with me / And we all like to see ass and titties / Now bring your ass over here, ho…” There’s more where that shit came from! In the third verse, Lil Jon encourages her to “Drop that ass to the floor,” “Twerk that ass, ayy, shake it fast, ayy,” “Pop that ass to the left and the right,” “Back it up,” and “Wiggle with it.” Lil’ Bo gets into the mix later, keeping things naughty. Timeless to the nth degree, “Get Low” never grows old. It is one of the greatest ass-shaking anthems of all time, no cap!
