Krump / Crunk
My post on Krump-dancing (see Tuesday, below) raises an important question, at least for this white boy: Now that I know what Krump is, what is Crunk?
I posed this question to Charles Mudede, who performed for me an amazing reenactment of the Crunk, which I wish I could post for all to hear. Alas, Wikkipedia’s definition will have to suffice for now:
Crunk (or krunk) is a specific type of hip hop music, based out of the southern United States, particularly Atlanta, Georgia. While most crunk-style music could be called “Dirty South” or southern rap, the reverse is not necessarily true. Eightball & MJG for example have a more “Southern funk” sound.
Not incredibly enlightenting. Anyone want to school me further on the nuances of Crunk?
