YoYoYoYoYo is the debut album by rapper Spank Rock. The album was released on April 18, 2006 through Big Dada. Three of the songs on YoYoYoYoYo were featured in video games; "Backyard Betty" in Madden 07, "What It Look Like" in Need for Speed Carbon and "Bump" in Gangstar: Miami Vindication.
YoYoYoYoYo was notable for its hypersexual lyrical content. "Sex is all over this record, appearing on nearly every track," an Allmusic reviewer wrote.BBC Music joked that "YoYoYoYoYo makes Fiddy's "Candy Shop" sound like.. well, a sweet shop." The album also featured a number of 1980s samples. "Many tracks feature drum hits and samples that are more than two decades old, but Epton makes sure to keep his nostalgia a safe distance away from cliché." Rapper Naeem Juwan was described as "one of the brightest young American talents", while it was noted that XXXChange's "series of deep bass hits, digital claps, and the occasional cougar scream" were "all performed so perfectly". The producer was praised for turning "a whole album of aural porn" into "one of 2006's essential releases."
YoYoYoYoYo was ranked No.24 on the Tiny Mix Tapes top 25 albums of 2006, and was nominated for the 2006 Shortlist Music Prize.
All songs written by Alex Epton and Naeem Juwan except where noted.
