A final word on crunk. At the end of the 19th century, the country gave the city blues music; in return, the city gave the country the most important musical form of the 20th century, Jazz (born 1927-died 1969). At the end of the 20th century, the city gave the country hiphop; in return, the country bumpkins (or rural idiots, as Marx would have it) gave us crunk.
