LIL' JON feat. THREE 6 MAFIA - ACT A FOOL

by Bootleg Al

Oh great just what we need, another frat-boy anthem courtesy of everyone’s favorite pimp chalice swirling master of Crunk Lil’ Jon and the Three 6 Mafia. Released as a sneak album preview via MySpace (damn you Murdock) on Halloween, why Halloween? Fuck knows, probably to soundtrack all those Halloween college parties that we see so accurately portrayed in American teen comedies.

God I can just see it now, a whole room of jocks ‘chugging’ Bud-Light as they rap along to the fantasy of getting ‘gone on Patrone’ and ‘loose on Goose’. This is SUV rap of the highest caliber. Rap music that glamorizes a lifestyle where your main aim is to ‘ball till I fall. Drank till I cant/Put it on my black card I got money in da bank’. Hummm yes, well. And the thing is these idiots probably do actually aspire to these lifestyles. I’m all for fun and fantasy in music but when it results in the entire (American) football team ‘standin on the table with the weed fired up/drinkin out the bottle. Mothafuckin’ Crunk’ it just becomes pathetic.

The only intelligent one here is Lil’ Jon himself. That dude is a smart motherfucker. Rapper, producer, designer, entrepreneur, Lil’ Jon has his mind firmly set on making as much money out of a made up word as he possibly can. I’m talking about Crunk. The true origins of the word Crunk are open to much debate however the most popular conception is that it stands for the combination of being ‘chronic’ on marijuana and ‘drunk’ on alcohol. It’s stupid, it’s childish and its worth millions. Lil’ Jon has managed to turn just one word into a plethora of records, a soft drink with apparent aphrodisiac qualities, a wide variety of clothing and even a planned fragrance, mmmmmm the smell of Crunk?! And to the haters writing off Crunk as a fad that’s already passed Lil Jon’ declares adamantly that ‘Crunk aint dead bitch, you see the chain/And I’m the king, Fool. Ya know my name/Party like a rockstar, fuck like a pornstar/I don’t giva damn. Ima buy the whole bar”. And you know what, he probably is, and you’re the dumb shits paying for it.

To Lil’ Jon I salute you, milk it, milk it for all its worth then run as fast as you can. To the other 1 million, yes that’s 1 MILLION of you who have already downloaded the track, congratulations, you’re a marketing mans dream, an easy mark. Put simply, you’re an idiot. Now get Crunk motherfucker.
