As veterans of the Crunk era, the Ying Yang Twins have established themselves as party starters. This fall, they revived that energy at the Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final, where competitors delivered their best freestyle moves hoping to come out on top. Behind the scenes, the duo channeled a mellow energy, juxtaposed against the hype of their hits such as “Salt Shaker.
“I like DaBaby, Latto, GloRilla, Lil Baby,” shared Kaine with VIBE when asked about some of their favorite artists of the new generation. “They got nice songs,” he added with D-Roc’s agreement.
As the conversation continued, the brothers in rhyme explained respectfully that although they do enjoy some of the music, not every release meets their personal standards.
“I’ma a hard music critic,” Kaine continued. “I can’t lie about music. This is a God given talent.”
“Everybody who doing their thing right now, that’s basically what we listen to,” added D-Roc. “If it sound good, I’ll play it.”
“A lot of these songs to me still aren’t hit records,” countered Kaine. “I’m just being honest… What happens when we come on? They hit the floor. Some music today is just fly on the wall music…drive through music…when you pull away from the drive through, you’re still hungry for more.”
Turning the energy back up, the Atlanta representatives continued to lay out their favorite strip club anthems, naming tracks from 2 Live Crew, SoundMasterT and of course, themselves.
