The first article is just a Q & A with Lil Jon. I foiund it interesting because most of what i’ve heard him say is just “Whhhat?” and “Yeeaah!”. It was intersting to see how he talked outside of the crunk atmosphere. He really cares about how he is percieved by others. On more than one acount he makes the point that he is quite intelligent and that you must be to do what he does. Another interesting move of his is creating a wine business (mentioned in the article). This next article talks about the winery. What struck me the most is that Lil Jon cares a lot about the quality, managment, and reputaion of his wine business. This just proved to be an interesting view into the life of one of the biggest crunk hiphop artists alive.
