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!". 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.
