Lil Jon Needs To Fall Under A Truck

http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0340/eddy.php

But wait....who are the Surf MC's? The hip hop equivalent of....http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drc400/c422/c4226570233.jpg ???????

I like all of the random, nonsensical attacks on Alex in NYC you've been spouting lately. It's like you're drunk at a dinner party.

:-(

etc.

"The album even beat out such stiff competition as Dr. Dre's rap classic The Chronic at the Soul Train Awards for Best Rap Album that year [1993]."

It sounds great in the living room alone too, though!

i think this is the kind of question that answers itself.

does anyone know when crunk became a noun? i'd never heard it used like that until southern rap became 'big' again this year.

You tell me.

Does anyone else remember this or am I just cr8zy?

Lil Jon, according to Chris Weingarten who interviewed him a couple weeks ago, has apparently always been a big Dead Kennedys and Ramones fan. Which might in part explain the mosh pits at his concerts.

Sorry I didn't mention yr Bone Crusher piece, Sterling; I also left out Yancey Strickler on Killer Mike, Kandia Crazy Horse on Bubba Sparxxx, Tony Green on LOTS of stuff, etc. (I was only thinking the past month or two. But the Voice's crunk-consciousness is indeed nothing new.)

(From Vibe.) (The pattern of every single music magazine article on new Southern rap-- Lil Jon is the crunk-is-the-future guy and then David Banner says 'Well, we aren't all about the crunk stuff' and then the T.I./Killer Mike/Youngbloodz interview. And then the sidebar explaining the slang.)

I guess that makes sense too.

Much like Onyx, the Ink Spots are proto-crunk.

but it's not quite "crunk"
the way Lil Jon, Ying Yang are,
neither is Banner

also, from the "playahata.com" dictionary:

Crunk/Krunk: Slang, adj (1)To be enjoyable, usually in reference to a party. (2)to become excited and/or agitated. Primarily used in the Southern, United States.

or maybe like an elephant trunk noise.

or maybe crunchy and funk, or crass and a monk!

meaning it's great! awesome! I'll go out and buy it right now!

(stronk?)

and why I hate rap
and why I am "indie-rock"...
oh, hell, never mind.

as a matter of fact, you can think whatever you want to about my musical tastes. here, I'll even float a link to my T.I. review in PopMatters so you can understand why I like that record and what I got out of it. I'm done here anyway. Shit like that. What the fuck.

ROYAL Pimp Cup !

This is our best, top of the line pimp cup with MAD extra trimming all over the cup, up on the base. This
cup also has way more faux gem stones than our regular pimp cup. If you are the main pimp on your
block then you gotta show it off with this ROYAL pimp cup! You get diamond trim on the top and bottom
of the cup as well as multi-color faux gem stones and of course up to 5 letters of whatever you want!
Your choice of Gold or Platinum Style cup. These cups are made of plastic and you should not
drink out of them. Please write what you want your cup to say in the comments section when you check
out. Please note that, because pimp cups are custom made they take an extra 7 business days to make."

What do people think about "Naggin'" by the Ying-Yang Twins. I think the lyrics have some depth that's not usually seen in Crunk.

can anyone give me an honest answer as to what is supposed to be in a pimp cup (and don't say "pimp juice")? is it for alcohol, holy water, fruit punch, or what?

My own brief mini-review of the album (along with Lil Jon's and Youngbloodz' albums) is at the Licks link upthread.

but ultimately
too much similarity
knocked it off my list

Lately I've been rocking Obie Trice's album and The Love Below like Homer rocks Duff.

I love how Haikunym loves crunk rap *and* country. He's like my poetic twin!

my thesis has been
that country IS hip-hop now
but no one agrees

Trust me.

HIPHOP SUX ASS AND SO DOES LIL JON

"Okayyyyy!" "Wha'????" "YAY-ahhh!!!" I love it.

Imitating Lil Jon = classic.

Unfortunatley, you can't tell the difference any more. Ergo,

imitating lil jon = dud.

The best thing about IcedOutGear, though is the Search By Price--->Bling Under $10 feature.

How fucking stupid. There's a lot of great death metal. Lil Jon, however, sucks, from everything I have heard.

Confusing that terrible trash with real rap is a joke.

This is why people think rap sucks nowadays, because all they get exposed to is crap like Lil Jon, and miss out on the good shit.

Oh well.

Perhaps I shouldn't separate rap into "real" and "false", because that's fucking stupid on a "true metal/false metal" level, but if you're insinuating that there is no rap above the bottom of the barrel aesthetics of Lil Jon, then you are by and large a fucking idiot.

but that lil jon/usher thing is kind of amazing.

Lil Jon and Tori Amos to play SXSW

Lil Jon and Tori Amos will play La Zona Rosa on Thursday, March 19 as part of the Universal Republic Records showcase.

love them both :D

Duet?

I thought "crunk" was an adjective that implied "crowded, happenin' and hoppin'," as in "we're the type of people who make the club get crunk".

You tell me.

just replace "and" with "ft."

Never been down south? I'm Third Coast Born like C-Note. I've been getting paid on these H-Town streets since I could walk. I've rolled with Keke, Pookie, ESG, Flex, everyone. I bought the first UGK tapes out of the trunk of Pimp C's Grand Prix when they did shows at Club Venue in Corsicana. Get your mind correct, you wannabe Athens thug. I've been to Athens. I know how you bitches roll. Come to Acres Home or Cloverland if you think you're hard and you want to learn how the shells burn.

The first time I heard Lil Flip was on an episode of Fastlane. I'm fucking lame. I drove through the Midwest once, when I was a kid. I mostly remember the hotels. I saw the baseball stadium in Chicago, on the way through, just from the highway. I love expensive running shoes. I have more Radiohead CDs than UGK ones. But sometimes I just want to pretend! "Don't rap about what you saw in the Scarface movie, nigga, when you can't even spell Uzi, nigga. We live this."

that crowd will be hilarious

"good album but too many skeets"

lil jon would still find a way to survive...

where are we discussing the "Turn Down for What" video because uhhh wow

whoooooa

yeah it's even crazier than the one for "Pon de Floor" (though quite similar really)

about a week ago I heard "Turn Down For What" in the club and I turned down and left

lol

the whiney will not tolerate anyone badmouthing turn down for what

If anyone wants to explain the appeal of these country-ass, bellowing morons, please go right ahead.

I'd say "never change" but he didn't

is Turn Down For What considered trap? the Harlem Shake kind, not the Lex Luger kind. I think I'd have to experience it in its normal context to properly loathe it.

ummm, just watched the video and that was something

lil jon gave us so much joy i'm fine w/ him getting EDM money

truuu. It's not even that I don't like "Turn Down For What" (it's aight) so much as it's not the vibe I want when I'm out

yeah no i'm with you i don't think i would turn up to that song either

i would

is anyone in the video really completely comfortable with the vibe either?

very into the "turn down for what" remix

banger

it is amazing to me that a metalhead like phil would hate probably the most metal-influenced mainstream rapper of the 21st century

Like this samples Slayer and was directly inspired by Suicidal Tendancies' "Institutionalized."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEE5_yfNbFg&feature=kp

"turn down for what" is probably my song of the year. figures jon would come in and hop on a lame trend (what do we call this, EDM?) and do it better than any of these jokers

he's been doing edm guest appearances for years now

lil Jon is seriously amazing on turn down for what

TD4W is incredible

no avoid the truck Jon pls
