"So Seductive" is a song by Tony Yayo as the first single from his debut album Thoughts of a Predicate Felon (2005), it features guest vocals from 50 Cent, and was produced by Punch, who helped write the song along with Tony Yayo and 50 Cent. Released following a highly publicized campaign by G-Unit, to release Tony Yayo from prison prior to the song's release, "So Seductive" is an uptempo "club banger" containing elements of string instruments and a repetitive bassline in its instrumentation. The song received little promotion from Tony Yayo at the time of its release, as he was still under house arrest following the end of his prison sentence, although he has since performed the song during various live performances.

"So Seductive" became Tony Yayo's most commercially successful song, peaking at number 48 on the Billboard Hot 100; it also remains Tony Yayo's only song to chart outside the United States, peaking in the top 30 of the Irish and United Kingdom singles charts. The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its energy and 50 Cent's performance in the chorus, although some wrote negatively towards Yayo's rapping and also noted a lack of originality in the song's production. "So Seductive" was nominated for best "Club Banger" at the 2005 Vibe Awards, [1] but lost to "1 Thing" by Amerie. [2]

Background

On December 31, 2002, G-Unit rappers Tony Yayo and 50 Cent were arrested for illegal weapon possession. Following a further background check, it was discovered that Yayo had an outstanding warrant for a previous such charge: as a result, he was sentenced for bail jumping, and spent the entirety of 2003 in prison at Lakeview Shock Incarceration Correctional Facility. [3] [4] During this time, G-Unit rose to mainstream prominence following the commercial success of 50 Cent's album Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2003), which sold 872,000 copies in its 1st week on sale in the United States [5] and contained the Billboard number 1 singles "In Da Club" and "21 Questions". [6] [7] The group also released their debut album, Beg for Mercy , in 2003, which featured the US top-15 singles "Stunt 101" and "Wanna Get to Know You". [8] [9] Yayo appeared on the song "Like My Style", which appears on Get Rich or Die Tryin', [10] and on the songs "Groupie Love" and "I Smell Pussy", which are included on Beg for Mercy. [8]

During Tony Yayo's incarceration, G-Unit began a campaign called "Free Yayo", which involved wearing "Free Yayo" shirts advertising his situation; due to the mainstream prominence of the group, Tony Yayo began to receive increased attention from the Hip Hop community, becoming known as the "mythical 4th member of G-Unit", although Yayo himself was unaware of the coverage he attracted. [3] [11] The campaign received widespread publicity, even in countries such as Brazil and Iraq. [4] At the 46th Grammy Awards, 50 Cent and Eminem performed whilst wearing "Free Yayo" shirts. Yayo watched the performance on television in prison after receiving a call from the Shady offices advising him to do so; [4] he had never seen the shirts before, and was inspired by them to work hard to improve his rapping before his release from prison. [3] He was granted parole from his sentence on January 8, 2004, but was discovered to be in possession of a forged passport, following a check from his parole officer, and was sent back to prison until May 25, 2004. [3] [7]

Following his release, Tony Yayo appeared on several mixtapes to increase his exposure amongst underground hip hop audiences, and began to record his debut album, titled Thoughts of a Predicate Felon (2005), almost immediately after leaving prison, [7] although he was still detained under house arrest and required to wear an ankle bracelet, and thus could not personally promote any of the album's material. [12] "So Seductive" was released as the album's 1st single via Interscope in the United States and Canada on May 17, 2005 via Music download, and was released to rhythmic and urban contemporary radio stations in the United States on May 24, 2005. [13] [14] [15] [16] The CD single was distributed via Polydor Records. [17]

The song was featured in the 2005 Xbox video game 50 Cent Bulletproof. Tony Yayo appears in the video game providing his own voice and likeness and is a playable character in arcade mode.

"So Seductive" received generally positive reviews from music critics, with many naming it a standout track from Thoughts of a Predicate Felon. Stylus Magazine writer Ross McGowan called the song "a two-headed attack that resulted in one of the summer’s best singles", and complimented how the song fits Tony Yayo's persona, writing that "So Seductive" is practically a blueprint for how Tony Yayo should be packaged. He isn't a very good rapper, but he is an entertaining personality and crew-member." [25] David Jeffries of Allmusic described "So Seductive" as a "hooky party number" that Yayo "handles extremely well", citing it as an example of how he "[is] craftier and smarter than expected considering the thug myth built around him". [11] Writing for The Michigan Daily, Evan McGarvey observed that the song works as a "serviceable first single", calling it an "open-palm slap of a tune". He also complimented 50 Cent's performance, writing that he "wisely takes a verse of his own and laces the track with an easy, Richard Scary hook". [22] However, Fiona McKinlay of musicOMH denounced Tony Yayo's rapping on the song, calling his vocals "really pretty disappointing". She also criticized the song's production as unoriginal, noting that "there's nothing catchy, nothing memorable and it's not even any good for shaking your booty to", and concluded that "as anything other than musical wallpaper, [the song] is about as much use as soggy toast", although she conceded that it was "probably going to be a Top Ten smash". [21] At the 2005 Vibe Awards, "So Seductive" was nominated for best "Club Banger", [1] but lost to "1 Thing" by singer Ameriie. [2]

Music video

The music video for "So Seductive" was directed by Gil Green, and is of 3 minutes and 47 seconds in length. [32] The video begins with Tony Yayo escaping from a prison through a concealed hole in his cell wall, and after exiting the tunnel through which he has crawled is escorted away in a Mercedes-Benz car by 50 Cent: shots of their journey are alternated with ones of Tony Yayo and 50 Cent standing outside the car, rapping parts of the song. Following the car briefly being stop-searched by the police, the rappers drive to a mansion and enter a party attended by several artists of G-Unit, including Lloyd Banks, Young Buck and Olivia.

During the party, Tony Yayo enters another room of the mansion and removes a painting from one of the walls, revealing a hidden safe: after opening it and removing a silver necklace, a woman (Buffie Carruth) who has followed him from the party enters the room and the pair begin to embrace. At this point, the police suddenly enter the room, searching for Tony Yayo, although it is shown that he has escaped just in time through an open door in the room. Reunited in the Mercedes-Benz with 50 Cent, Tony Yayo gives the necklace to 50 Cent: at this point, Tony Yayo abruptly wakes up, in his jail cell, showing the preceding events of the video to have been a dream. [32]

The music video on YouTube has received over 20 million views as of April 2024. [33]
