Intro

Crunk

Tends to be at a lower tempo than other styles of hip-hop. It features drum machine rhythms, layered synths, heavy bass, and shouted vocals. It frequently incorporates call-and-response. Crunk is a party-focused form of hip-hop, and its lyrics are typically simple and hedonistic - Crunk rarely addresses the deeper social themes prevalent in many other forms of hip-hop. Crunk originated in the 1990s in the American South, and was first played publicly at African-American strip clubs in Memphis, Tennessee. It was extremely popular throughout the first decade of the 21st century. 'Get Low' by Lil Jon and the Ying Yang Twins is an archetypal Crunk recording.
