Lil Jon being the king of Crunk has everything to do with everything.If Lil Jon is the undisputed “King of Crunk” by his peers in Southern rap and by the fans that support the music then he; at the very least, represents the majority of the Crunk music hip-hop sub-genre. And if Lil Jon (being the representative of the majority of Crunk) says the music is for the clubs, only for the clubs and that he could really care less about lyrics, complexity or anything else that doesn’t get the club excited then it is a fair statement that the majority of Crunk music is devoid of those musical and artistic elements the artists themselves admit aren’t there.
You have argued with me tooth and nail about that. For what?, it is a true statement. Now is ALL of “Crunk” music like that? Maybe not (I’ve never heard otherwise but I’ll take your word for it) and is all of southern rap lacking the musical elements that Crunk admits to lacking? Abso-fucking-lutely not. That’s my entire point.
Now when we talk about g-funk being (or not being) comparable to Crunk all I’m saying is g-funk contained more musical elements and is more dynamic in versatility than Crunk. That’s it. Is g-funk better? No! No one can answer that it’s a musical preference. Could g-funk be played in a wider variety of listening venues? Well, I would argue that point is debatable. That’s all.
It would seem to me that you are reasonably bright and have a fair working knowledge of hip-hop and rap. So why reduce yourself to arguing for the artistic merits of a musical sub-genre its own artists admit it lacks?
I’ll concede your point that more than likely not every single artist making “Crunk” records is as homogenized as the majority, that’s fine I can see that. But the reality is that the majority of Crunk as a whole is in fact designed for the clubs and limited in that regard. Lil Jon said it, he is the undeniable "King of Crunk" and the representative for the majority and that’s just how it is.
ROFL? i did not even debate you, nor do i need to. So sad how your now attacking me after i question you. Someone is a little sensitive. Mr smart guy just cant take a simple comment here n there? How was i trying to converse anything? you wanna defend a topic beyond anything i mentioned. Eh, but sure you are right, im a huge idiot. lmao
I would like to know SGV, whats real rap/hiphop according to you?

SGV...i don't care about the SOUTH AS A WHOLE, and I do not care about the Origins of crunk or get buck music itself. I really don't give a fuck.
SGV won
lmao all bcuz i dont wanna join YOUR topic im uneducated? wow...you're really good at this.
It's not worth it man. Every time Crunk is brought up SGV starts talking about southern rap in Atlanta or Brooklyn or whatever nonsense he regurgitates from his defjam history of hip-hop book. Notice how he keeps bringing up southern rap as a whole when no one is talking about it? Go back and look at his history of posts search the word "south" and "g-funk" the guys a fucking mess, talk about a hater lol.
The bottom line is southern, but primarily "crunk" music is the lowest common denominator in appealing music; overly simplified, consistent instrumentation with lyrics devoid of anything that evokes sentiment, cognitive processing or reflection. When a person hears this type of music they react to it the same way you would the sound of the ocean or a busy city: soothing or jarring. It’s why so many Crunk artists yell and make animal noises, its because it doesn’t require any mental processing for the listener to absorb. In essence it’s easy listening hip-hop music, and while it may be popular it will never be remembered for the things it isn’t: highly musical, artistically redeeming and creatively innovative.
Go back and look at your history of posts and look how stupid you've looked each time. You're a fucking mess. Talk about being an idiot. lol
