From 2003 to 2005, while still with The East Side Boyz, Lil Jon produced hits like "Salt Shaker" by Ying Yang Twins, "Yeah!" by Usher, Freek-a-Leek by Petey Pablo, Shorty Wanna Ride by Young Buck, Shake That Monkey by Too $hort, Let's Go by Trick Daddy, and Girlfight by Brooke Valentine.

In 2006, Lil' Jon severed his negotiation with record label TVT. He vowed never to record for TVT Records again, alleging that TVT owner Steve Gottlieb was shortchanging him. He also began recording a rock music album, Crunk Rock; in May 2006 he began recording in Las Vegas, Nevada because rock band The Killers was recording its upcoming album Sam's Town there.
MTV News reported in March 2008 that Crunk Rock was taking more time to complete than Lil' Jon already planned. As part of TVT Records' 2008 bankruptcy auction, Lil' Jon withdrew his multi-million dollar objection to the TVT sale proceedings and agreed to TVT’s transfer of his artist agreement to The Orchard. In return, The Orchard released Lil' Jon from all future obligations and returned the rights to the master recordings of Crunk Rock.

Nothin On
Lil Jon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's something, that I gotta tell ya'
'Cause I know, that a brother got needs tonight
I ain't trippin' on ya' pimpin' just that this time
'Cause you gotta pay tonight tonight tonight
[Chorus]
I know you wanna get paid tonight
We ain't even gotta fuss and fight
Just hit me right, it's on all night
I know you wanna get in bed wit' me
But you gotta come correctly
Nothin' in life is free, especially not me
[Oobie]
I hope you, can feel me
When I say, pay before you play wit' me
Wanna taste this, but it's priceless
It's something that you never done before, I'm not ya ordinary hoe
[Chorus]
[Lil' Jon]
I fell off in the club (shawty)
Not lookin' for love (shawty)
But I'm lookin' for a gul (shawty)
For I could cut (shawty)
Like lil mama in the blue (shawty)
She so got damn cute (shawty)
But she say she need cheese (shawty)
Before she dip wit' me (shawty)
Well let me see (shawty)
What it might be (shawty)
And what's ya' fee (shawty)
For my fantasy (shawty)
Now I ain't rich (shawty)
But I spend a lil bit (shawty)
So who you wit? (shawty)
Let's do this shit (shawty)
[Chorus]
[Oobie]
There's something, that I gotta tell ya'
Before you lay with me tonight
I ain't got no problem
Cause you gotta pay tonight tonight tonight
[Lil' Jon]
What chu' talkin' 'bout? (shawty)
And get cum out cha' mouth (shawty)
Say you want some cash (shawty)
Before I hit that ass (shawty)
I'm not yo' boy (shawty)
I ain't no toy (shawty)
Don't play no games (shawty)
'Cause I ain't lame (shawty)
But foe' my gurl (shawty)
I'll give her the world (shawty)
Ain't no thang (shawty)
To give up that change (shawty)
I ain't rich (shawty)
I spend a lil bit (shawty)
So who you wit? (shawty)
Let's do this shit (shawty)
[Chorus]
[Oobie]
Now I'll be there for you
If you want me to
I'll be by ya' side
If the price is right
Take care of me
And I'll take care of you
Nothing tonight is free
Oh, yeah
I gotta get paid, woo
Now if you want me
Come correctly
Might be something you never done before
I'm not yo' ordinary hoe
The song "Nothin On" by Lil Jon and featuring Oobie is a track about a man and a woman who want different things from each other. The woman, Oobie, is upfront about her expectations and tells the man that he must pay her before they can become intimate. She makes it clear that she is not an ordinary hoe and that her time is valuable. The man (Lil Jon) is willing to pay for what he wants, but he also wants to make sure that the woman is worth it. The chorus of the song expresses the idea that nothing in life is free, especially not each other.
