When the discussion of what kind of music I listen to arises, there's only one gif appropriate.
Truer words have never been spoken. When you’re cruising down the street in a '64 and you get passed the aux cord, you better have something prepared other than Mumford and Sons. Here’s five bangers you need to put in your playlist, now.
"Yeah!"
Usher ft. Lil’ Jon & Ludacris
Where it bangs: Club
Oh, the early 2000s were the golden age of bangers, and this song is the crown jewel. Sure, you can’t dance like Usher, but you’re surely about to try. Even when you realize that you look like Elaine from "Seinfeld," you should try rapping Luda’s part. The whole club will appreciate it.
Lyric that you can fill in the blank: “Me and Ursh’ once more, and we leaves ‘em dead…”
“X Gon’ Give It To Ya"
DMX
Where it bangs: Gym
This song is a must have for any workout playlist. Do you need to bang out that extra pushup? X gon’ give it to ya. Need to finish that last lift of the bar when you’re benching? X gon’ give it to ya. Want to finish that last little bite of cheese fries? X gon’ give it to ya.
Most introspective lyrics: “*dog barking*
"m.A.A.d. City"
Kendrick Lamar
Where it bangs: Whip
Kendrick has changed so much. You can’t even compare “To Pimp a Butterfly” with “Good Kid m.A.A.d. City.” This track is the pinnacle of Kendrick as far as bangers are concerned. If you like “Backstreet Freestyle” more, then you can fight me in real life.
Lyric that gets you hype: “Yawk yawk yawk”
"Back That Azz Up"
Juvenile ft. Lil Wayne and Mannie Fresh
Where it bangs: Club
Say you’re just starting your career as a DJ. It’s going OK, but you want to turn things up a little bit more. There’s only one song other than “Pop It 4 Pimp” that can do the job.
Lyric most likely to get everyone to the dance floor: “Cash Money Records taking over for the 99 and the 2000s!”
The entire Flockaveli album
Waka Flocka Flame
Where it bangs: Whip/Gym
This. Album. Bangs. This is the peak of banger culture. Heavy beats? Check. Aggressive flow? Check. Ignorant lyrics? Check. Behold, the ultimate banger album.
