The song was so hot the Weezy sampled it on his 1999 track, âDrop It Like Itâs Hotâ and Drake reminded us of that when he did the same in 2011 on âPracticeâ from his Take Care album.
Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart and at number 15 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart at number one. The track served as an unofficial twerk anthem before twerking became the phenomena it is today. In 1999, the popular song topped the U.S. The second single on the album was âBack That Azz Upâ or the radio version, âBack That Thang Up,â which was a modern day tribute to the derriere that featured Mannie Fresh and Lil Wayne. Saigon sampled the track as well in 2009 on âLady Sings the Blues." D.O.P.E paid homage to Juvenile and âHaâ by sampling the track on their 2012 release, âBlock Blazer,â which features T.I. The second one featured Brooklynâs Jay-Z, who was the only artist outside of Cash Money Records to make an appearance on the album. The album included two remix versions of âHa.â The first remix featured Juveâs fellow Hot Boys members B.G., Lil Wayne and Turk. When released, it peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart and number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100. The albumâs lead single, âHa,â which has since sold over 2,300,000 copies, was a comical inquisitive song, where Juvenile ended all of his lines with âHa?â Juvenileâs previous albumâs title track, âSolja Ragsâ was sampled in the song. You could hear Mannie Fresh narrate the introduction of âJuveâ from âthe Magnoliaâ over a consecutive jazz track. The intro on 400 Degreez was a specific example. No Limit had been known to offer a piece of the New Orleansâ sound, but Cash Money signified Louisiana hip hop and specifically infused its jazz and bounce origin, thanks to in-house producer Mannie Fresh. Specifically, No Limit Records, Cash Moneyâs direct competition tyrannized the charts. Silkk The Shocker, Scarface, C-Murder, Fiend, Kane and Master P had all topped the Billboard charts alongside The Lox, Lauryn Hill, Capadonna, Gang Starr, Big Pun, Jay-Z, 2Pac and a few others. Unlike any other year, Southern rappers dominated the charts just as much as artists from the East Coast did. Hip-hop no longer physically had two of its most prolific emcees, leaving room for other artists to shine. It was two years after Tupac was murdered and a year after the death of Biggie Smalls. In fact, 1998 was a very interesting year for hip hop.

Cash Money was entitled to 85% of its royalties, 50% of its publishing revenues and full ownership of all masters. While a $3 million advance was gravy, the rights to royalties and publishing was even better. The label ran by Bryan â Birdman/Babyâ Williams and Ronald âSlimâ Williams signed a $30 million distribution and pressing contract with a $3 million advance.
Previous to the release of the highly reviewed album, Cash Money Records had acquired a great distribution deal with Universal Records. Certified 4x Platinum by the RIAA, this album is what solidified Cash Money Records as a force to be reckoned with and catapulted Juvenile on top as a mainstream contender. 400 Degreez was the follow up to the NOLA artistâs previous 1997 release, Solja Rags. Solely produced by Mannie Fresh, it was Juvenileâs third studio album and first album released on a major label. Juvenileâs 400 Degreez was released in 1998, 16 years ago today. Today we take a look at Juvenile's classic album, "400 Degreez", which dropped sixteen years ago on November 3, 1998.
