Lil Jon & East Side Boyz

Kings of Crunk

CRASH N' BURN!

Review Score:

(2/10)
This oddity is quite possibly the WORST piece (...) I've been exposed to. Yelling, yelling, and well...even more yelling is all that you'll hear on this album with no lyrical and melodic flava (substance) what so ever. Obviously trying so hard to sound like death metal punks with a hip/pop twist. Oooh, it's BAD. I simply can't believe that the same hip/hop charts that had Public Enemy, NWA, Wu Tang, EPMD, and Eric B. and Rakim got replaced by these no good "evil doers" (ex: Lil' Jon', Ying Yang Twins, Ludacris, etc...) who even claim to be artists. And you just have to love that bland flat monotonous cussing today's music has to offer...

Example 1: "You ride up to the club n****, I don't give a f***! Shakin' yo' a** in the club b***h, I don't give a f***!"

Example 2: (Today's cutting edge love song)
"i fell off in the club (shawty)
not lookin' for love (shawty)
but i'm lookin' for a gul (shawty)
onw i could cut (shawty)"

Try comparing these hooks to something like "You see me in 3-D when I let the rhythm hit another M.C. lyrics made of lead enters your head" and you'll know exactly how inferior this record is. Rap has been much, MUCH, more than flaunting a few ebonics, drugs, cussing, murder, bling, and getting laid. A long time ago in the pre *NSYNC days, rap was about lyrical flow and doing your VERY BEST to rhyme and add an excess amount of poetry (a-la similies, metaphors, alliteration, etc...) and IT STILL IS! Now you got these IDIOTS (Like Lil' Jon and his Eastside posse) who brainwash half minded birdbrain idiots who at least think MTV and radio has good taste in entertainment. Well, if it weren't for you believing TV and radio at all times. Music as a whole would never be as bad as this. OK, I admit a few songs on the second half of the CD has some good beats, but the lyrics and Lil' Jon completely destroy the potentially good songs.

BOTTOM LINE: BOYCOTT THIS RECORD AT ALL COSTS!!! HE AND HIS CREW DON'T DESERVE FAME AND MONEY IF THEIR LIVES DEPENDED ON IT. AND STOP BELIEVING THE TV AND RADIO ALL THE TIME AND EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS ONTO SOME REAL RAP MUSIC, PLEASE!

Oh, and if you have a friend who FORCES you along with him/her to listen to this music at all times while in the car at FULL BLAST! (complete with head banging and yelling) I pity you!
