This was the third single from Lil' Mama's debut album, "VYP: Voice of the Young People," released in 2008 on Jive Records. It was produced by T-Pain. The follow-up to "Lip Gloss" was a song called "G-Slide (Tour Bus)," but it bombed. Jive then sent this song out in hopes that it would become a hit, especially since Chris and T-Pain were on fire, at the time. It wasn't a big radio hit (and neither was "Lip Gloss"), but digital sales propelled both into the top 10 on the Hot 100. This one, in particular, had a boost in sales from the video release and from being included in a "Dancing with the Stars" commercial. It ended up peaking at #10 on the Hot 100, #22 at rhythmic and #43 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart. If I'm not mistaken, she's the only solo female rapper to score two top 10 hits from their debut album on the Hot 100.

Goes hard as hell even to this day. Agreed. She actually went in on this song, unlike Lip Gloss. Nakita can flow, she just needed a better image. |

When I spit, it's like mucous, gotta get rid of itThis was such a jam back in the day! Such a shame her career never really took off. Her image was really skewed with "Lip Gloss." Also, I had no idea that this hit the top ten on the Hot 100. It had a much better run than I remember: 92-97-92-19-10-25-39-52-54-61-70-100. No exactly a hit, but I was shocked to see it spent four weeks in the top 40, only two less than "Lip Gloss," which felt like a much bigger hit. If I'm not mistaken, she's the only solo female rapper to score two top 10 hits from their debut album on the Hot 100. Well... Iggy Azalea with "Fancy" and "Black Widow." But... "rap." I'm not sure if Billboard counts Iggy or not for that feat.

I'm not sure if Billboard counts Iggy or not for that feat. I completely forgot about Iggy Azalea. How ironic is it that, out of all the amazing female rappers we've had over the years, they're the only two to do this? |

The track was kinda cool for the time, but the song itself isn't strong.

I remember this. Cute song and video! The video was inspired by MJ and Janet's "Scream" and TLC's "No Scrubs" videos.
