--- Quote from: Efrain on October 28, 2006, 07:44:01 PM ---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.

If you say that about Crunk, you'd have to say it about G-Funk, too.
One of you "real hip-hop" crackers answer me this: Why does G-Funk get a free pass for being all about partying and smoking endo, but Crunk, which is about sipping sizzurp and partying, doesn't?

STFU with that elitist bullshit. Have you heard Planet Rock? Wow that is one lyrical joint there, but it's regarded as a classic by everybody. What about Run DMC songs like Tricky? Another lyrical masterpiece, but it's regarded as a classic too, but you probably got into hip hop when Eminem came out so you don't know any better.
All crunk music is, or hyphy for that matter is party music, which has been a part of hip hop since Kool Herc. Study your history before commenting next time.
Juronimo:
And one other thing, before any of yall get on that elitist tip again, do you remember what people used to say about hip hop back in the 80's? For those of you too young, they claimed that it wasn't real music, that it didn't take any talent, it was a gimmick that would play out, etc. This was back when Erick B and Rakim and Public Enemy were in their prime, guys all of us regard as legends. Think about that for a minute.

1. Snoop and Daz don't make any music that require mental processing for the listener to absorb. So, why are they not the lowest common denominator?
And, I guess these lyrics evoke sentiment, cognitive process or reflection, cuz you have Kurupt in your sig, as well.
[Kurupt]
West coast shit nigga
Overdosage - imperial pistols ferocious
Fuck a bitch; don't tease bitch, strip tease bitch
Eat a bowl of these bitch, gobble the dick
Hoes forgot to eat a dick can shut the fuck up!
Gobble and swallow a nut up, shut up and get my cash
Backhanded, pimpslapped backwards and left stranded
Just pop ya collar, pimp convention hoes for a dollar
Six-Deuce in a plush, six-deuce impala
Pimpin hoes from Texas to Guatemala
Bitch niggaz paid for hoes, just to lay wit hoes
Relax one night, and paid to stay wit hoes
Captain Save'Em all day (bitch) well save this dick
Bitch nigga, you more of a bitch than a bitch
You ain't into hittin pussy, or hittin the switch
You into hittin bitches off of the grip, you punk bitch
You guys are just haters that's all. You know nothing about Hip Hop, which is why you say the ignorant things you do.
