3 Simple Words Made Lil Jon $33.3 Million

[@PatrickCc]

Happy New Year! My New Years resolution is to do exactly what I was doing last year lol. New mini documentaries every monday all 2024 🙌

[@CaptainFrandy]

Happy New Year and stay blessed!

[@kenterminateddq5311]

I hope you had an awesome new year's eve, Patrick. As far as this video, my favorite Lil' Jon moment had nothing to do with music, it's the Chappelle Show skit where Lil' Jon and Dave Chappelle (as Lil Jon) had a funny AF phone conversation. 😊 The 2000s was the decade where you couldn't escape Lil' Jon's catchphrases or Lil' Jon's underrated producing.

Lil Jon’s music literally changed the direction of hip hop. One could even argue that it birthed all the lit rappers we are into these days. College was super lit because of lil Jon and the turn up music he pioneered. It was fun to live through it.

[@maximilianosilerio4140]

Nothing but respect for Lil Jon. Genius

[@pancakesean6888]

The Chappelle skit's effect on Lil Jon cannot be overstated. I was a freshman in high school when that happened and Lil Jon went from a fairly niche artist in our mostly white suburban school to a known meme that everyone was quoting. This in turn led to a lot of kids who would have never learned about his music listening to his early stuff.

This video made me very emotional / nostalgic. I’m a woman in my mid 40’s ~ born and raised in Georgia. Brought back awesome memories! I can’t express how much of a presence Lil Jon’s music has had in my life. He absolutely did secure a well deserved musical legacy. Thank you for shouting him out! ♥️

Me too. I listened to lil Jon morning noon and night from middle school to high and college.

[@AfricanH3ro]

It's kind of crazy because for whatever reason I don't really associate those EDM "Turn down for what" hits with Lil Jon as much as I do his early 2000's hits. Made me realize how long he was actually relevant as an artist lol

[@nathanielfilms3533]

Went to Vegas pool last summer, & suddenly lil Jon pulls up outta nowhere and started to dj and the whole place was nuts! Felt like 2000-2010s all over again!

[@dubiousbrick4483]

His energy has always amazed me. Never heard of a beef with him and other artists/celebrities, always came off as optimistic, he gave off the energy of a high charisma party animal that didn’t have a hateful bone in his body. I had no idea the depth of his influence, this was really cool to learn about and hold him even higher in respect

[@IceSick90]

Ive always loved him. Hes the man. A real DJ. A real Producer. A true LEGEND. OOOOOOK!

Lil Jon deserves all his flowers for what he done for the industry. Anything he was on was instantly a banger… To this day when I hear the beat to Shots..it’s over 😂😂😂 🥃🥃🥃🥃 But I’m glad he’s able to show of his other creative side outside of music. I’m happy he’s doing very well and passing on his knowledge to others willing to listen.

[@kptecx-xs2dw]

I want to give an honorable mention to the incredible engineering and mixing he brought to his production. As simple as it might sound. From 00-07 he had the club in a chock hold with various newer and older artists and that’s no easy feat.

Man, this took me back to junior high and that not-too-awkward prom in a sea of usher inspired button ups and blazers with jeans and fitteds lol. I forgot how influential Lil Jon was and I can def see how it got annoying but I think he still enjoyed it. As limiting as it can be, it's kind of an artist's job to embody a simple feeling that the world can understand and collectively express for a moment. It's our job as performers to use music to unite listeners through a shared emotion that they may not be able to articulate. He did that.

[@TheZieglerm]

I wasn't old enough to go to clubs during the crunk era, but that music definitely got my middle school and junior high dances LIT 😂. What a time.

[@majorkeyunlimited206]

Lil Jon made songs that clubs literally couldn't play because fights would regularly break out or even worst somebody would get popped. He definitely set the stage for what we hear now and what is now acceptable to be played in clubs which is wild. 1. Damn 2. Throw it up 3. Bia Bia Just to name a few.

I love Lil Jon so very much man! I'll never, ever forget the first time I heard 'Get Low', it's such a visceral memory for me. My mom was driving me to school and it came on the radio. It's such a banger of a track! I don't think he has a bad hit, all his hits are fire. 🔥 And Chappelle Show really did have such a massive impact on pop culture. Everybody really was going around yelling, "What?!", "Yeah!", and "Okay!" 😂 Good memories man. ❤
