Robin Thicke’s 5 Best Pre-“Blurred Lines” Songs The World Ignored

“Shakin’ It 4 Daddy” featuring Nicki Minaj (2009) “Shakin’ It 4 Daddy” is perhaps the greatest single that never was. The song appears on 2009’s sexually charged Sex Therapy, and while Thicke explained the crux of the project was about regaining his libido with wife Paula Patton, this song was more stimulating than sensual. The star of the show was Nicki Minaj, who delivered a pair of the hottest verses in her career. Perhaps that’s why, in the 11th hour, the song was canned as being the third single. (It was more of a Nicki song anyway.) Still, Robin Thicke promoted the song everywhere, and even actress Michelle Trachtenberg released a viral video of her rapping along to Nicki’s verse in the car with James Van Der Beek. You know it’s a hit when Georgina Sparks and Dawson Leary are all over it.
