Hip-hop has given us plenty of gems, but very few have brought the masses together like twerk songs.
Typically, there is no playbook to what makes a perfect twerk anthem. However, one could argue that catchy hooks and powerful basslines are the key. This is why the undisputed king of generational twerk anthems is the Mannie Fresh-produced “Back That Azz Up” by Juvenile. Unveiled in 1998, the infectious single has been a club staple for over twenty years, recently earning Juvie and the track their own day in New Orleans earlier this month.
While “Back That Azz Up” remains one of rap’s most iconic cult classics, it is certainly in good company. Artists such as Uncle Luke, Waka Flocka, Future, Travis Porter, and plenty of others have mastered the perfect booty-shaking sound. Whether you’re a pro at twerking or in your beginner era, these staples are guaranteed to get your body moving and the sweat pouring.
