New Tove Lo album to thread

P.O.D. - Boom (2001) - specifically "Here comes the boom"

this is THE “here comes the boom”

hard to dispute that, tbh. maybe if P.O.D. had recruited Sean Paul or Mr. Vegas, it'd be a fair fight, but DMX's commitment to the title is tough to overcome.

wow. in case of YouTube decay, that's MC Hammer's 2006 release, "Hyphy, Dumb, Buck, Krump," which is a pretty incredible title for this thread. the backing track is also very blatantly trying to get on the crunk bandwagon. great find.

he was always trying to jump on some bandwagon, but that seemed to be the closest he got to getting on one during its zeitgeist!

sorry for not labeling, thanks for jumping on that :)
