Kings of Crunk

Keep Yo Chullin' Out The Street!

Review Score:

(10/10)
No ones going to disagree that Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz are truly the Kings Of Crunk. Lil Jon, aided by Lil Bo & Big Sam, has dropped an album that's hype from start to finish. You wanna fight, get ya 'Kings Of Crunk'. You wanna get ya adrenaline pumpin', get ya 'Kings Of Crunk'. You wanna show ya boys that the south's really on top, then pop ya 'Kings Of Crunk' into the changer. This album is a southern classic. It's showin' the world how people do it in the south, and there's nobody more south than these three.

And what a click album! Almost everyone from the south's on this album, so your getting a real taste of southern music. Pastor Troy, Jadakiss, Styles P., Too $hort, Mystikal, Krayzie Bone, E40, Petey Pablo, Bun B, 8Ball, Big Gipp, MJG, Devin The Dude, Trick Daddy, Fat Joe, Ying Yang Twins, T.I. and the list goes on! You also get some of Lil Jon's BME crew, such as the viscous Chyna Whyte, the soulful Oobie, Bo Hagon and The BME Allstars. This line up makes the album worth it on it's own.

And that's even before you get to the tracks! If you've been alive since Lil Jon blew up, you'll have heard 'Get Low' with the Ying Yang Twins. This a pure club joint and never gets old. 'Knockin' Heads Off' and 'Throw It Up' are amazing, because Pastor Troy, Jadakiss and Styles P. all drop amazing verses over amazing Jon beats. 'B****h' is perhaps one of the nastiest tracks I've ever heard, and Chyna Whytes just nasty on the mic. Her verse is sick, but there's something that keeps making you play it. 'I Don't Give A...' is another cut everyone should have heard and Krayzie Bone rips this to shreds.

Other hot tracks include 'Push That N***a, Push That H*' which is another pure club, crunk joint. Big Gipp steals the show on the incredible 'Keep Yo Chullin' Out The Street' which has one of Lil Jon's best ever beats. 'Diamonds' is great, 'The Weeman' is funny and has a really crunk beat, 'Play No Games' is ripped to shreds by Trick Daddy and Fat Joe, and Cuban MC Pitbull rides out a hot beat on 'Pitbulls Cuban Rideout' and the final track, 'BME Click' is the posse joint, but The BME Allstars seem to be crunker than Jon!

Overall, this album is amazing. Pure riding. This is music you can join in with rather than just singing the hook. Lil Jon's chants are so easy to pick up that it's fun just to play the album straight through over and over again. As expected, the beats are highest point of the album and are off the chain. What else could be expected of one of the premier producers in the south? This is a five star classic. If you don't already have it, get it. Recommended.
