‘That’s the No. 1 Song Ever’: J-Kwon on His 2004 Anthem ‘Tipsy’ & Shaboozey’s ‘A Bar Song’ Reviving It 20 Years Later
J-Kwon sits down with Billboard for an interview about his 2004 anthem "Tipsy," Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" and plenty more.
Hailing from St. Louis, Kwon — born Jerrell Jones — went from sleeping in cars and eating out of trash cans to being a millionaire rapper battling Usher on the charts and performing on the season 20 finale of Saturday Night Live(hosted by the Olsen twins). A 17-year-old J-Kwon saved the best for last when it came to recording for his debut album Hood Hop, as “Tipsy” was the final track added to the project. Check out the rest of our interview with J-Kwon, which finds him reflecting on 20 years of “Tipsy,” Shaboozey’s interpolation and receiving Kanye West’s co-sign.
