23 R&B And Hip-Hop Songs To Take You Back To A Sleezy ’00s House Party
I’m about to sound extremely ancient right now, but music truly ain’t what it used to be when I was in high school.
From the stream of emo anthems to unrivalled dance bop releases, the ’00s truly was a golden age for teenage head-thrashing and feet-stomping. And I’d also argue it was an era responsible for some of the best R&B and hip-hop songs… ever.
I’m talking the kinds of tunes you dirty danced to with your girlies at a sleezy house party, after downing a cocksucking cowboy shot and applying a thick layer of Maybelline Wet Shine to match your sparkly hot pink Keds.
These were the filthy songs that soundtracked most of our teen years and in many cases (me hello!), we were listening to songs about wild sex that we had no experience in. Cut to me mouthing Lil’ Kim’s ‘How Many Licks’ as a 14-year-old who has only ever had a virtual boyfriend on MSN.
We’ve rounded up some of the most iconic R&B and hip-hop songs from the 2000s that will be a huge throwback.
FYI: Due to the nature of a lot of this music, be warned there’s a bunch of expletive language ahead aka maybe don’t listen to the below tunes with your parents/priest.
