I'm not gonna lie: I love "Get Low" like a fat kid loves cake. It's trashy and crude and misogynistic, but good GOD is it fun.
Lil Jon was the embodiment of everything that was awesome about the mid- 2000s crunk trend. Even though he was really more of a producer than a rapper, he became one of the most iconic artists of the period through sheer force of personality alone. Give the man his due, I say.
