Laffy taffy shawty lo lyrics
You'd get an app that, when you fart, it plays music, and that's where tomorrow's hits will come from. And God knows what's gonna come after that, songs ay when you fart. And once ringtones were no longer a hot trend, it disappeared. I mean, ringtones were great for this kind of rap song, because you could listen to the good part, which was the chorus, and not have to listen to the verses, which were usually filler garbage. And that's about as long as you'd listen to it, you know, as long as it took you to find the phone and shut it off. Like, that's all it was good for, being a ringtone. Todd (VO): I think the idea is that anything that was called "ringtone rap" was popular as a ringtone but nowhere else. Huey: Pop, lock & drop it, pop, lock & drop it Lots of rap, including the good stuff, was used as ringtones. A lot of it was pretty bad, from one-hit wonders with not a lot of lyrical skill, but who somehow found a decent beat and a catchy enough hook and got big. Todd (VO): Answer? Not a great place! At least the really popular stuff. Anyway, let's examine where hip hop was in 2006. Todd: Ah, that name sounds familiar, Shawty Lo? Yeah, I think I remember him, he had a couple hits, and, uh.didn't know he did "Laffy Taffy." I swear he did something recently, what was it? I'm sure it'll come to me. Like, I think Jermaine Dupri was just picking random guys off the street and throwing them into the studio and they'd be superstars within a day. And yeah, Atlanta's obviously still huge, but in the mid-2000's, it was huge to the point of insanity. of course they were, every rapper from the mid-2000's was from Atlanta. Montage clips of Ludacris - "Welcome to Atlanta" Crime Mob - "Knuck If You Buck" Okay, judging by the album cover, D4L stands for "Down For Life." Uh, they were from Atlanta, which. Dudes 4 Ladies? Doglovers 4 Lasagna? I dunno, let me pull up Wikipedia here. Sounds like some kind of abbreviation for Craigslist personal ads.
Todd (VO): Okay, the name of the group was D4L, which. Todd: Who cares? No, no, I'm not gonna completely zone out here. wouldn't be spending a lot of time on this song.
Even if I weren't trying to get to the beach I probably. Todd: So yeah, let's, uh, let's get this over with. About strippers that make you think about taffy. Todd (VO): And onto this lazy-ass beat, they, uh.they rapped a strip club song. Todd (VO): "Laffy Taffy's" basic claim to fame was basically the single slowest, pokiest, gentlest beat this side of a musical crib mobile. Todd: But most of those club bangers were, you know, bangers. I can seriously run this show for years just based on shitty forgettable rap songs that got big in 2006. one or at most two hits and then jumped off the face of the earth. Todd (VO): Club bangers that, as far as I'm concerned, you couldn't really dance to it, made by people who had. I don't wanna say it was a bad year, but I remember a lot of crap like this.Ĭlip of Dem Franchize Boyz - Lean wit it, Rock wit it)ĭem Franchize Boyz: Lean wit it (Rock wit it) Todd (VO): And yeah, you heard me, it was a #1 hit in 2006, which. By any standards, one of the dumbest #1 hit singles of the 2000's. Todd (VO): And, uhh, yeah, that's how we got here, "Laffy Taffy" by D4L. Todd (VO): What song do you not need to think about or research or analyze in any way? I asked myself, "What song would require the least effort from me?" well, here was the decision making process. Yeah, so if you're wondering how this particular blast from the past wound up on the schedule. I made plans, and, you know, I was thinking maybe I can head out early, spend the next couple weeks in Myrtle Beach, so, uhh.I'm just gonna shit out an episode and clock out. Todd (VO): Look, I-I got some vacation time. Look, I'll be honest with you, I'm just gonna phone this one in. Todd: Welcome to One-Hit Wonderland, where we something, something, something.
