In his review of 'Get Jiggy', critic Jon Caramanica highlights the track’s unusual blend of vintage and modern elements, making a case for it as a potential summer anthem. The song features familiar drill flow with a polished edge and a classic house beat reminiscent of the Jungle Brothers. Despite its retro vibes, it embodies modern rap's evolving styles, particularly the emergence of up-tempo hip-hop coming out of New York and New Jersey, which brings a renewed energy to club rap.
The flow feels like a very familiar drill flow, but all the rough edges have pretty much been sandpapered off.
It feels like a classic house beat. You hear the piano. It literally could be I'll House You by the Jungle Brothers.
In the last few years in New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, there's been a tremendous amount of up-tempo hip-hop, and that's been coming from a few different directions.
Get jiggy is a meme record...it's a club record. It's a pop-drill record.
