Legendary Status: Ying Yang Twins Greatest Hits

Performer: Ying Yang Twins
Artist: Pitbull; Lil Jon; The East Side Boyz; Da Muzicianz; Fatman Scoop; Jacki-O; Trick Daddy; Homebwoi
Distributor: TVT Records (Dist.)

Notes: Party rap duo Ying Yang Twins are known more for their singles than their albums making any well-executed greatest hits package a guaranteed highlight of their discography. Even though it sticks with obvious choices (picking the most popular single edit or remix) and takes the economical route (no earlier material from other labels is included) TVT's LEGENDARY STATUS is such a highlight as it surrounds hit crunk monsters like "Salt Shaker," "Wait (The Whisper Song)," and "1st Booty on Duty" with well-chosen and worthy album cuts. Skipping the Wyclef Jean collaboration "Dangerous" is a questionable move but including irresponsible and silly, second line tracks like "Grey Goose" and "Naggin'" makes up for its absence. You can't complain about the album's sequencing either as it lays out all these like-minded rump shakers in what seems the best order possible, making LEGENDARY STATUS an easy soundtrack for any given booty judging contest or chalice-swinging party. Silly but adult fun the whole way through, this might be the second most necessary crunk collection, trailing closely behind Lil Jon's set CRUNK JUICE.

Dirty South duo the Ying Yang Twins wallowed in obscurity for some time before the turn-of-the-century Crunk explosion pushed them into the limelight. The duo, with production from Beats-In-Azz, crank out frenetic, hands-in-the-air party jams; their 2005 full-length UNITED STATES OF ATLANTA is nearly a hip-hop epic, featuring guest shots from Anthony Hamilton, Missy Elliot, Bun-B, and Adam Levine of Maroon Five, among many others.
