Hell Yeah (Ginuwine song)

"Hell Yeah" is a song by American R&B singer Ginuwine featuring rapper Baby. It was written, produced, and arranged by R. Kelly for his album Chocolate Factory, however in the wake of his sexual misconduct allegations, it ended up being sold to Ginuwine fourth studio album The Senior (2003), because of its hedonistic lyrical content. Released as the album's lead single, the song became a top 20 hit in the United States, peaking at number seventeen on the US Billboard Hot 100, and reached the top thirty in the United Kingdom. The official remix features Baby and Clipse along with Kelly and Clipse. A music video for "Hell Yeah" was shot in Las Vegas and includes a cameo by rapper Snoop Dogg and comedian DeRay Davis.[1]
