Crunk as a word and as a music

All of us can now use the word "crunk" with legitimacy. Websters Dictionary has officially made "crunk" a word. "Crunk is defined as, "a style of Southern rap music featuring repetitive chants and rapid dance rhythms,".

I decided to take a hip hop point of view on the word crunk and spin it. My definition goes something like this-- " A word used three years ago to define hype music. Now, artist like Lil' John and Lil' Scrappy are old news. Scrappy has about a quarter in the bank and looks like a flash in the pan. Lil' John might make a comeback, but it won't be with Crunk Rock (check out here ). Basically, crunk needs a revival and it won't be with Lil' Jon claiming, "I beat the p#@@y up, and then stuck it in her butt."

Seriously Jon'... GROW UP!!

In all honesty, hip hop isn't dead, but crunk music under Lil' Jon's is. Nevertheless--just like everyone else from the south, I used to love crunk music... Glad to know it will be memorialized in webster.
