Tipsy (song)

"Tipsy" is a record by American rapper J-Kwon. It peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 on April 17, 2004, after 14 weeks on the chart, and it peaked at number 2 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks, being held off the top spot of both charts by Usher's "Yeah!".[1] Outside the United States, "Tipsy" peaked within the top ten of charts in Australia and the United Kingdom, but on the UK R&B singles chart the song had peaked at number 1. To date, "Tipsy" has been J-Kwon's biggest and only hit, with his next single "You and Me" being a moderate success peaking in the Top 20 on the U.S. Rap chart. J-Kwon was 17 at the time of the release of "Tipsy", a song considered an ode to underage drinking.
