here is link to the mix/muxtape i threw together. http://crunk205.muxtape.com/
It was somwhat difficult for me to compile this mixtape, not becuase of technical problems, but because rap, much less cruck music isn’t my favorite. Im quite unfamiliar with the whole subculture beside what get shoved down my throat by the media. While names like lil jon and the eat side boys stood out, i really had to look for other artist in order to put together the tape. As i began picking and choosing music, most of which i didnt think i had hear, i found it to be the opposite
case. I had heard these songs, probably from clubs and parties. I def felt a better connection when i realized i had been a part of the crunk music culture, even tho i thought i was far removed. A good part of the sosngs are by lil jon and the ESB, but i also have some by Bonecrusher, youngbloodz, Ying Yang twinz and Petey Pablo. I feel the tape does a good job of encompassing the themes and popular qualities associated with crunk music. Namely drinking, sex, partying, and overall energy. Almost every music video had some part filmed at a party or club, where crunk music most closely relates with its listeners.
