1/12/2006 - Shake

Song: Shake
Artist: Ying Yang Twins
Why this song is the current jam: Today's jam is from the crunkified side of things. This track by the Ying Yang Twins and Pitbull is the second club banger off of the Ying Yang Twins' new album. Now these dudes are high-caliber ignorant, but the beat is bangin, so I forgive. This beat is lifted from a club classic by a random German guy, George Kranz called Din Daa Daa (you'll hear why). Another Pitbull collabo with Twista, Hit the Floor has a similarly crunktastic uptempo party feel. Pitbull has been headlining a lot of the hottest fast tracks (he even did his own popular take on the Coolie Dance riddim with Culo) and his Miami bootyshake style can be heard on almost every track on his album. The themes dont really extend anywhere beyond "I am cool" and "Hey you, attractive lady, dance sensually for me" and intersections of the two, but what can you expect? This is club music, designed to move butts. And move butts it does.
