Together with production partner DJ Paul, Juicy J played an important role in the South's rise to prominence within the once East and West Coast dominated rap industry. Behind the duo's leadership, Three 6 Mafia rose from an underground phenomenon in Memphis to a nationally recognized rap empire, spinning off numerous solo albums for the collective's many members in the mid- to late '90s. Like his production partner, Juicy J specialized in dark, eerie tracks driven by bass-heavy beats and haunting sounds. He also raps as a member of Three 6 Mafia. Moreover, Three 6 Mafia ventured into filmmaking with Choices: The Movie and Choices II: The Set-Up, a straight-to-video film starring most of the Three 6 Mafia's collective, Hypnotize Minds. Juicy J (born Jordan Houston) and DJ Paul (Paul Beauregard) first came together at the dawn of the '90s, when they worked as DJs in the Memphis area. The two soon began producing their own tracks and invited numerous Memphis rappers to rap over the beats. They released the resulting tracks locally as Three 6 Mafia; years later these recordings would resurface as re-releases. In 1995, the loose collective Three 6 Mafia began to form and self-released its debut album, Mystic Stylez. The album became an underground success, and Three 6 Mafia, in turn, signed a distribution deal with Relativity for its Hypnotized Minds imprint. Throughout the late '90s, DJ Paul and Juicy J produced numerous albums a year for Hypnotized Minds and capitalized on the lucrative distribution deal. By the end of the decade, the two producers were at the helm of an empire, having extended their brand to alarming lengths, culminating with their commercial breakthrough album, When the Smoke Clears (2000), which debuted at number six on Billboard's album chart.

And I just keep on tippinβ²
Pourin' out them dollars, and...
It's about to be a twerk off... be a twerk off
Pull your skirt down... aw, take your shirt off
Anything she can do, you can do better
I donβ²t see nobody here whoβ²s better than you
Girl, I love to see you twerk, love the way you go to work
Come and get this money, girl, it's yours
I can keep them dollars cominβ², they say when it rains it pours
Throwin' money to the ceiling β²til it's covering the floor
It's a twerk off, but we know whoβ²s winninβ² (you, of course)
Grab some girlfriends and let's synch up with my partner and them
We can all go to the penthouse and just vibe out and put you in the wig
Girl, if you in, shake it like youβ²ll never shake it again
Take it so deep, I don't know when it end
I know itβ²s no mistake, you should be in first place
Girl you're hotter than... all them hoes modelinβ²
And I just keep on tippin'
Pourin' out them dollars, and...
Itβ²s about to be a twerk off... be a twerk off
Pull your skirt down... aw, take your shirt off
First you gotta pop it, then you gotta drop it
Even though the haters watchinβ², you don't have to stop it
Callinβ² "murder" 'cause you killinβ² when you take it to the ceiling
Got me losin' all control when you work it on the pole
You know you the best, β²cause you gon' do what she won't do
You keep it out the box, them other chicks be typical
Thatβ²s why I throw it up, you love how I be tippinβ² you
Before you start this twerk off, baby, take that shirt off
Girl you're hotter than... all them hoes modelinβ²
And I just keep on tippin'
Pourinβ² out them dollars, and...
It's about to be a twerk off... be a twerk off
Pull your skirt down... aw, take your shirt off
The way she work that pole β itβ²s time for her to work mine
And she suck it so good β I just might go blind
And her ass is fat β damn that chick so fine
She okay in the face but Beyonce from behind
She clapped her ass for cheese, 'cause my chips stackin' like Pringles
Iβ²m rich and Iβ²m single, blowin' twenty-thousand in singles
Baddest chick youβ²ve never seen before, I make it rain, they clean the floor
I throw a stack, she come and get it, I'll throw some more, Iβ²m not goin' broke
Booty like no other β she get it from her mother
Throwinβ² bands in the club, smokin' more than Chris Tucker
Weed naps and weed raps, I can't stop, no relapse
Nothinβ² but models, trippinβ² on molly,
Take 'em back to the crib and continue the party
Girl youβ²re hotter than... all them hoes modelin'
And I just keep on tippinβ²
Pourin' out them dollars, and...
Itβ²s about to be a twerk off... be a twerk off
Pull your skirt down... aw, take your shirt off
The lyrics to Juicy J's "Twerk" glorify the act of twerking, a popular dance move that involves shaking one's hips and buttocks in a sexually suggestive manner. The song encourages women to show off their twerking skills by offering them money and calling for a twerk off. Juicy J emphasizes the sexual nature of the act by using explicit language and imagery throughout the song.
The lyrics also objectify women by comparing them to "all them hoes modelin" and only valuing them for their ability to twerk. The song perpetuates harmful stereotypes about women and reinforces the idea that women's bodies exist solely for male pleasure. The lyrics also suggest that women must compete with one another for male attention and validation.
Despite the problematic nature of the lyrics, "Twerk" gained popularity upon its release in 2013 and was even performed by Miley Cyrus during her controversial 2013 VMA's performance. The song's catchy beat and memorable chorus may have contributed to its popularity, but it's important to recognize the harmful messages that it promotes.
