Lil Jon Album: “Certified Crunk [PA]”

Description :

Personnel includes: Lil Jon (rap vocals); Joe Corcoran (guitar); Ludacris, The Ying Ying Twins, DJ Smurf, Kool Ace, Hitman Sammy Sam, No Surrender. <p>Producers include: Midnight Black, Kool Ace. <p>CERTIFIED CRUNK is packaged with cover art simulating the low-budget "mixtape" CDs one can find populating the sidewalks of any city worth its hip-hop salt, a shout out to the spirit of the streets and the creativity of the DJs, putting out inventive remix and mix albums. Lil Jon did indeed start off as a DJ, and in that spirit, CERTIFIED CRUNK captures the flavor of the mixtapes and the feel of a party. The album compiles some of Lil Jon's earlier tracks (before he crossed over into the mainstream) and follows on the heels of his infectious and successful breakthrough, KINGS OF CRUNK. <p>That said, much of the record's beats are spare in the spirit of the genre--almost hypnotically so--and drenched in a haze that allows the band to provide some surprises. For an album immersed in sex and dance-floor shaking, the intro track, "Get Crunk," features a refreshingly progressive call-response imploring women to shout that they are neither "tricks" nor "hoes" nor "skanks," and men to scream they are not pimps. More of a collection (actually done without the input of Lil Jon) than an official album, CERTIFIED CRUNK offers a nice insight into the makings of these kings of crunk.

ok...this cd is mix of old lil jon joints and some remixes. as a lil jon fan, i was very disappointed. here is what you should do;

wait for the Part II cd to come out later this year, just keep enjoying the Kings of Crunks and all the cameos lil jon has out.

Most of it was okay. But the two stand out tracks are P***y N***A f/ Hitman Sammy Sam, 504 Boyz, and Da Jump Off f/Killer Mike, 404 Soldierz. The biggest suprise is that hitman sammy sam uses P***y N***a to diss Pastor Troy. The vere goes like I'm a georgia boy f**k Pastor Troy. Good crunk album worth checking it out.

Okay, this cd just came out right? Well then, why is the first track old? Why does Ludacris have a light voice? Is it because this is just junk they're trying to put out because they figure they're on a roll? Uh, yeah. If you got this, you know what I mean, and if you haven't don't pick it up. It doesn't sound anything like the real crunkness. Whoever certified this crunk must think 50 cent is god because I would sell this cd to anyone who wanted it for 50 cents. Garbage. Even the cover is dull. The eastside boys aren't even fat and lil jon doesn't have his expensive glasses or that annoying wine cup. Do yourself a favor and let this album flop. Lil Jon could use a reality check, especially after that sick youngbloodz cut.
