Baby I Got Your Money

ODB realizes that Kelis probably still does have his money.

Most would probably agree that Kelis is best known for being the girl whose milkshake is, in fact, better than yours. But with her greatest hits collection recently released in the UK, it seems a good time to reminisce about Kelis’ earlier work. You see, long before she was bringin all the boys to the yard, the R&B stylist was providing the refrain for Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s “Got Your Money.” Many got their first look at the future star in the song’s video, a blaxploitation-laced classic of pimp decadence.

And while we’re on the subject, it’s well worth noting that “Got Your Money” has made a recent reappearance with a cover by Say Anything on the Punk Goes Crunk compilation. This one gives Dynamite Hack’s version of “Boyz in the Hood” a good run for its money in the competition for best awkward white boy rap cover. You always knew the late great king of Shimmy Shimmy Ya had some off the wall lyrics, but you never knew how great it could be til somebody enunciated them.
