Crunk is a style of hip hop that originated in Memphis, Tennessee, in the United States, in the mid-to-late 1990s and gained mainstream success around 2003 � 2004. Performers of crunk music are sometimes referred to as crunksters. An archetypal crunk track most frequently uses a drum machine rhythm, heavy bassline, and shouting vocals, often in call and response manner. The term crunk is also used as a blanket term to denote any style of southern hip hop, a side effect of the genre's breakthrough to the mainstream. |
