I like Crunk because it's so energetic. Lil' Jon has a shitload of energy, and adds a lot to songs where he's featured ('Yeah', 'Let's Go, 'Girlfight', etc.) 'Moment in the life of Lil' Jon' on the Dave Chappelle Show is really funny.
It was funny up until 12 year old fat kids with zits all over their face kept saying "WHAT!?!" "OKAY!?!" every other fucking word.

I personally don't see the talent in it, the same beat is used for every song, and there is no lyrical structure either to many of the songs. It's a fad and will die out soon, The only artist in this "genre" that seems to have any talent is Ciara.
I have to say that Lil' Jon isn't a very good lyricist I know that people think that Ciara is crunk'n'b, but her style is totally different than lil' jon. Did lil' jon produce 'goodies' (the song)? What do you think the definition of 'crunk' is? Is Lil' Scrappy crunk?
I would never proclaim to be a crunk expert, I just think every thing that came out recently that involves Lil' Jon sounds the same, I mean it's so bad to the point where I don't know the difference between any of the songs and like I said lyrically in my opinion there is nothing there; it doesn't take a genius to scream "yeah!" or "what?" every 3 seconds lol, but you asked for opinions and you got them. If you like it that's cool I respect that, just giving my two cents though; I've seen some bands I like trashed on these forums.
I wasn't trying to disrespect you, and i agree with your points and respect you opinion. The questions i asked weren't directed at you. And i don't consider myself as a crunk expert. Petey Pablo's 'Freek-a-Leek', do you think that it's 'crunk'?
If so: 1. the best of it isn't played on the radio 2. the tangents and crossovers are better than the original 3. someone really respected will sell out (or the inverse of selling out?) with a "Black" album
LMAO @ the people that are complaining about the lyrics. Crunk is for the clubs, its for dancing to and shit, you don't need good lyrics . Just some banging shit so you can go crazy to, and thats exactly what Lil Jon does.
As against rap as I am, I don't change the station when Lil Jon/Trick Daddy/Petey Pablo/other Crunk type music comes on. I don't know why. And I am SO one of those white boys that screams "YAAAAAYUH" at the top of my lungs.
i think crunk music is just a fad. hip hop goes in its cycles.. crunk music wont be around forever and once its dies off, people will wonder what they were thinking listening to that stuff back in the day.. i like some of that music though.. i dont care for the lyrics or whatever but some of the music is good.. lil jon knows what hes doing with this music.. people like to move to this stuff..
Crunk is terrible in terms of having a wohle album of it like Little Jon and the Eastside Boys. But I dont mind some of Lil Jon's featuring songs like Yeah and Quick to Back Down with the Bravehearts. But other than that Crunk is terrible. Especially that Ciara chick who labeled herself as the Queen of Crunk. eesh
