Time to retire...

Driving to school/work* today, I was stuck at a stoplight next to a tan Honda CR-V. The SUV had both it's windows down and the young white kid in the front was tapping his fingers to the beat that was blaring from his speakers.

What song was it?

Back that Ass Up by Juvenile.

Seriously.

OK, this song needs to be retired. At first it was like a cool song that you were the man if you knew all the lyrics to. And the video had those vixens doing that popping thing with their booty. When you're in high school, that's like totally sweet I guess. Then, later, the song would come on and everyone would laugh and it'd be totally ironic as a bunch of white kids tried to imitate Juve'. But I'm thinking that the irony clock has run out on this song. Now it's just sad.

Is this really the song this guy wanted to hear at 9 o'clock in the morning? Not that rap is bad, but how about something from this decade? I cringe to think that Back that Ass Up is a classic.

I'm sure someone is already thinking of making a comment about how it is a classic, and how I'm wrong or whatever. So here's the video. Before you comment, watch the whole thing. And if you don't feel a little dirty or sad afterward, then you may proceed. And how horrible I feel for you if that's the case. Also you're required to be up early in the morning/not drunk.






*I've been having trouble with this lately, because I always say "work" even though it is "school." But I'm locked in a windowless office for hours and hours, stuck in a suffocating black cubicle. That's work. The only difference is I don't get paid, which essentially makes it suck more, and more work-like than school-like. So I'm sticking with "work" from here out.
