booty is a term that is applied to a genre when lots of
sexually explicit vocals or samples are dropped over very 
club friendly techno, house and electro. you were probably
listening to a form of booty house/electro on the detroit 
radio. i've heard that's a popular style of music in d at the
moment. some booty-type artists include.
