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.

"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.

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.)

Much like Onyx, the Ink Spots are proto-crunk.
― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Thursday, 11 December 2003 20:31 (twenty years ago) link
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 crunchy and funk, or crass and a monk!

whoooooa
― Spottie, Monday, 17 March 2014 18:08 (ten years ago) link
yeah it's even crazier than the one for "Pon de Floor" (though quite similar really)
― frogbs, Monday, 17 March 2014 18:41 (ten years ago) link
about a week ago I heard "Turn Down For What" in the club and I turned down and left

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.

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
― imago draggin' (The Reverend), Monday, 17 March 2014 20:00 (ten years ago) link
yeah no i'm with you i don't think i would turn up to that song either
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Monday, 17 March 2014 20:10 (ten years ago) link
i would
― perfect puppy (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 17 March 2014 20:10 (ten years ago) link
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
― grindie cindy (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 15 May 2014 16:38 (ten years ago) link
Like this samples Slayer and was directly inspired by Suicidal Tendancies' "Institutionalized."

"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
