I still don't get the hype over "Yeah!" (Usher feat Lil Jon & Ludacris)

[doublenegative]

Still will set any party in the Western world. Check out the documentary 808 on Prime video

Great record. Still gets the club jumping to this day. It's an undeniable track.

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

if you were around during that time you already know how big the song was. easily one of the biggest hits of that year.




i remember i hadn't even heard it and my boy was like "that new usher song with ludacris is crazy"

then finally i heard it...




i didn't get it.

i still don't get it.



how is that not one of the corniest beats of all time?

how is that not one of the corniest HOOKS of all time?

usher adds NOTHING to this song.


"YEAH!"

"YEAH!"








i would say it's probably one of the most overrated hits of all time.

I hear you man...I liked Freak A Leek

 

[brownsugah]

I liked the song until it got overplayed. But honestly, it's not even top 5 on Confessions or a top 5 song in Usher's discography. With him, I actually prefer the deep cuts.

 

[BK The Great]

Song was everywhere back in 2004, I like this freestyle by Styles over the same beat

 

[CapitalforCapital]

nikkas so dumb It’s repetitive and loud of course everyone loved it. Think people want hear orchestras when their drunk and tryna get they freak on brehs

College in the Fall of ‘03

It does sound dated now that synths have been played out

 

[Kinguno]

Some of the lyrics are trash but everything comes together like stuffing nobody eats raw celery alone you eat it in stuffing

 

[Tiffrock]

That shyt was everywhere in Atlanta

 

[Big Boss]

You had to be in ATL to FULLY grasp the impact of that song...

1). Lil John was on TOP of the world.

2). The hype for Confessions was really through the roof and Usher hadn't really done a song like Yeah before. It was really something fresh for him as an artist

3). Ludacris was POPPIN at this point. Dude is honestly one of the most underrated "feature" MC's of all time. If you had a "featuring Ludacris" tag on your song it was almost guaranteed he was going to eat you on your own shyt.

Facts

 

[Doctor Wily]

this song was officially when the south was on top of the world, matter of fact lil Jon single handily made NYC look outside of 50 and the unit.

yup. We've had blips on the radar and since the Drake/Cole/Kendrick era started only female rappers from here have sold records (Nikki and Cardi).

That was the beginning of the 808 takeover i think. Crunk and than it became Trap.

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

I liked the strings i just never really liked the drums for such an dope melody. The melody sounded like Trance music though.
