It's strange to comprehend that it's been a quarter of a century since that transformative year, especially since so much of its music remains influential. Consequenceproved that when counting down the top 100 Best Songs of 2001, crowning Missy Elliott's "Get Ur Freak On" as No. 1.
"Each listen feels like a novel experience: the Japanese-language intro commands the listener to get ready to dance just before Timbaland's bhangra-influenced tumbi riff adds an avant-garde flair to his signature syncopated drums," wrote Fu.
Released in March 2001, "Get Ur Freak On" peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 (the same position it hit on the Hot Rap Songs chart). In 2023, the Recording Industry Association of America certified the song double-platinum.
