Juvenile‘s classic, “Back That Azz Up” is officially 20 years old. Unlike a young adult, the song isn’t trying to figure itself out because we already know where it belongs. From the lyrics to the beat, and everything in between, this tune holds a top spot at any black function, a BBQ, family reunion, wedding, and more. Even the acoustic version goes hard:

The single (often referred to as one of the preeminent twerk songs) was on the album “400 Degreez,” which is Cash Money Records’ highest-selling project to date — topping even Lil Wayne’s 2008 record, “Tha Carter III,” according to The Undefeated. It peaked at no. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100, and no. 5 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip Hop songs back in 1999. And now, when you hear…Cash Money Records takin’ over for the 9-9 and the 2000s coupled with the violins, it’s on!
