Jerk songs 2


I've been loading up on jerk songs in preparation for an all-jerk mix on 2 Busy Saying Yeah tonight.

Jerk music seems to be really polarizing. A lot of the "good music" folks I know are dismissing it out of hand as annoying, juvenile, repetitive, derivative or whatever-- and they're not totally wrong, but I like a lot of the music and find the aesthetic fascinating.

Jerk music is like a Bizarro-world version of rap, where women rap better than men and a lot of the traditional rules about sex and race get gleefully mauled-- dudes wear fluorescent nut-huggers, dance and brag about giving head and dressing like white boys. There's a dissertation waiting to write itself.

Anyhow, here's a bunch of stuff I grabbed from Digitaldripped. Recently I figured out that the most efficient way to wade through stuff posted there is by skimming Digitaldripped's Youtube channel; the videos only represent a fraction of what gets posted there (which is good and bad) but they load quickly and you can do things like sort by most viewed.



Dinoo Supreemo: "Step To"

"Hey Ladies" all day. His "Dirty Ass Vans" is great, too.



Asia Lynn: "Tip Toe" feat. Aaliyah D 3 (2009)

The nonsense syllables and delivery in Aaliyah D 3's verse reminded me of Mac Mill's "Arabian Hump", which was the most welcome flashback in months.



Aeiress Ent.: "Billy" (2009)

You can't feel your face? Are you sure? Drug education is failing our youth.



NHT Boyz: "Introduction" (2009)

Best intro line in all rap music: "my name is Knowledge, bitch!" Oakland, yee!


Looney Toonz: "Cock a Doodle Doo" feat. City & Flapjack (2009)

Funniest jerk beat yet. There are too many crews on Myspace named "Looney Toonz" for me to figure out who these guys are.



Vixen Ent: "Bust Me a Nut" (2009)

"Look Back at Me" FTW.



DnC: "Bust Nuts" (2009)

The most pause-worthy of all jerk songs, which is really saying something.
