16 years after 'Yeah,' Usher reteams with Lil John and Ludacris for a new track 'SexBeat'
Guess who's back up in the studio with his homies? Usher, Lil Jon, and Ludacris have reunited for the first time since the trio's 2004 hit "Yeah!" in order to bring us the not-so-subtly-named slow jam, "SexBeat." As Entertainment Weekly tactfully puts it, the new track "explores finding satisfaction in the bedroom." In it, the group improves on stale lyrics like "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" with creative, original ones like "sex-sex-sex-sex-sex-sex."
Notably, it's been a "pretty busy week" for Usher, Vulture explains, seeing as the singer spent "the better part of Thursday R&Beefing with Jim Carrey's friend the Weeknd over whether or not he copied the Weeknd's signature style on his 2012 song 'Climax.' While truly everyone got involved in the feud, Usher must have been sitting pretty all day knowing that he was getting the public’s attention before dropping a new song amid the controversy."
