This song is iconic.

You can tell how much people loved it by the crowd's reaction after @juviethegreat put on the best Tiny Concert ever.

Crazy part is how much this song inspired future works of art.

1999
"Back That Thang Up" by Juvenile, Mannie Fresh, and Lil Wayne is first released.

Lil Wayne's lyrics, "After you back it up and then stop/then what, what/ drop, drop, drop it like it's hot."

2004
The expression was re-popularized with Snoop Dogg's "Drop It Like It's Hot"

2008
Then again Lil Wayne's verse is repeated on "Lollipop"

2011
Drake sampled a large portion of the song in "Practice"

As the saying goes, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

Takeaway: create the work you're proud to bring into the world. Sometimes this even inspires others to create too.

But the best part of all is how the song made it into @juviethegreat's social bio: "Over 1 Billion Azzes Backed since the 99’-2000"

Legendary.

@AlaskaAir Its like they were not trained on how to board a flight. But then they let some other ladies board from that lane after making my husband & I go to back of linee. 👀 Not sure why they got the pref treatment

[Lael Echo-Hawk @laeleh]

@AlaskaAir concerned about customer service at BWI. Why is there a priority lane if your agents refuse to utilize them?

Congratulations to my friends @PearlJam on the anniversary of releasing Ten. These guys are world-class musicians, but even more importantly, they are first-rate people who seek to do good every single day. See you guys soon!

The season finale of #UnitedShades last Sunday was about how Hawai’i is marketed out to the world and how Native Hawaiians are treated on the islands.

If you haven’t watched it yet, please do before considering a vacation to Hawai’i. #hawaii

Right #VMAs stoooppppit

[Whitney 💞 @MissWhit83]

What a waste of having 2 legends like #Eminem & #SnoopDogg there. #VMAs They may as well have stayed home.

[Trying Not To Go Awry @aryeharmony]

What in the world #VMAs !!
I'm not a fan of the special effects on TV. I want to see what the audience sees! #Emenim and #SnoopDogg performance is too much. The ending was the best part.

@TheView Whoopi, I hope you talk about this. He deserves for his story to be told. #jimthorpe

@espn where u at reporting this!???

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Tomorrow, at noon, Ketanji Brown Jackson will be sworn in as the Supreme Court's first Black female justice.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

This fall, we must elect more senators and representatives who will codify a woman’s right to choose into federal law. We need to elect more state leaders to protect this right at the local level. We need to restore the protections of Roe as law of the land.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

My thoughts on the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

[Jen 'now @jenrubin9' Rubin @JRubinBlogger]

those who claim they were snookered (e.g Manchin, Collins) need to fix this by suspending the filibuster and writing Roe into fed law. Enough.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

Liars don’t deserve to be on the highest court in the land.

[Ana Navarro-Cárdenas @ananavarro]

May be cliché, but that doesn’t make it less true. Elections have consequences.

[Al Franken @alfranken]

Susan Collins voted for Kavanaugh because he told her that Roe was settled law. Maybe now she understands SCOTUS can unsettle settled law. (And/or he was just lying).

[Lael Echo-Hawk @laeleh]

ideology is more than just conservative or liberal. #KetanjiBrownJackson lived LIFE as a black woman in America is a massive ideological shift that goes beyond party or politics. #JusticeKetanjiBrownJackson
