BIA BIA!!!!!!!! I think Lil Jon is kind of a one trick pony, but the trick is still hot. See "Presidential" by Youngbloodz.

And right now I'm really feelin Three 6 Mafia's "Stay Fly Remix"... Its got Trick Daddy, Slim Thug, and Project Pat on it, plus that hook is genius. FLAAH-AH-AH-AAH-AH-AAH-AH-AAH-AAOW!!!!!!!!!

After ATL blew up, all these other states came out of the woodwork (North Carolina, Kentucy, Tennesee, TEXAS!) with many flavors of crunk... especially the whole Chopped up Houston thing --have we moved into a POST-CRUNK era already?!?

Crunk For Thought.

KNUCK IF YOU BUCK!

"stay fly" is the shit... the transformer scratch on that hook is so ill... viva serato!

alot of people don't consider Triple 6 crunk, but to me they are, especially early shit like "tear da club up"...

anything Lil Jon produced from like 96-01 is crunk... Bia Bia, Put Yo Hood up, Who you wit, uhh ohhh, are all jams...

"tight whips" by 504 Boyz kills me everytime i hear it...

bun b is the don, i wouldn't really classify him as an up n comer or anything, he's been doing his thang for a while now... go to any online vendor and check out this one 3 CD set called "the best of bun b" or something like that, it's a comp of guest spots and original material.... absolutely flooring in his consistency.

the houston shit is running it for me right now, especially a lot of the dark codeine sippin stuff, for some reason all the tunes bigging up drank are really fucked up and dark, lots of chopped up orchestral fanfares and bells (reminds me of some wiley 'colder' type material at times). the best mixtape i've heard out of houston in a while has got to be the grit boys "on the grind", i would seriously recommend it, it's also got this one tune they did dizzee rascal that's too much....

lil jon seems pretty consistent still, even if his production style doesn't quite have the shock of the new.... for me though atlanta is too much of a force to discount, they have such a developed industry i can't quite see them falling off anytime soon, and lil jon's productions are always kinda interesting to my ears

also excited about the new david banner material, anyone check out that tune he did with rodney p and durrty doogz (i dunno about this 'goodz' stuff)?

not all southern rap is crunk music....

this is very true, i was gonna mention this as well. 'crunk' is pretty much a slang term (i remember hearing it on old cash money shit) that lil jon exploited for branding purposes. it's kind of a questionable genre, not as clear cut as say, screwed music.

Ny track names for dark sizzurp tunes that are big right about now, as your description sounds great?

Also, is there anywhere I could get audio of those sets Dizzee did on Houston radio back in April or whenever it was?

Just found this comment on one of the Houston blogs too:

"If you all feeling that Dizze stuff, u should check out DJ Semtex's last mixtape on BBC 1Xtra's website. Some sick grine & crunk mixes with like Mike Jones over some Wiley beats...BIG.

bbc.co.uk/1xtra/hiphop and click to listen to semtex's show"

Sounds incredible...

xxpost, plus, a lot of the aggressive, ultra rowdy, bar-brawling stuff branded crunk was being made by guys like 3-6 mafia before lil jon too (not saying lil jon copied them, just that 'get buck' music was already an established style in the south before lil jon decided he would credit himself as the inventor of crunk). most rappers these days say lil jon is the only one who makes actual 'crunk music' as in Crunk The Genre (TM)

The spark right now is coming from the kids of ATL.

Check Maceo's "Sit Down" & "Nextel Chirp", D4L's "Laffy Taffy", BMF, Mac Bre-Z & GA Girls.

Noah's Destiny's Child rerub "Decatur 2 U" is fuckin hilarious.

Also Alabama's 334 Mobb, recently signed to Def Jam.

laffy taffy sounds like grime if it was made on a commodore 64 instead of a play station...

don't forget "white tees"...
