I've seen some negative reviews on the CD and I have to wonder why. When you purchase the CD you should know what you are getting. How many songs have you heard Lil Jon rap on alone...EXACTLY, none, so don't get this expecting to hear Lil Jon spit. He's not Jay-Z, he's not Nas, or Jada. His music is intended to get you CRUNK, hence the TITLE of the CD. I LOVE IT. It's something that has something for everyone. "Lovers and Friends" will be a #1 song in 2005 as soon as they put out the video, trust me on that one. Jon even gives props to GO-GO with "Skeet Skeet" with DJ Flex out of DC. For all the haters and negativity towards this CD all I can say is that don't expect anything than what you've been getting. Lil Jon knows what he's good at and keeps to it. He makes beats, great beats and has his own style and sound. So don't expect him to veer away from that. THIS IS A GREAT CD for people who know what Lil Jon is and is about. I have no complaints.

Who's idea was it to give this guy a mic, his voice is so annoying. Dont buy this garbage

I can't believe rubbish like this goes platinum. Rap today with a few exceptions is a joke. People like Chingy, Nelly, Ludacris, Ja Rule, Lil Jon and any other idiot with Lil in their name are ruining rap and making it look like a joke. What is really getting me angry is how so many people don't give any respect to real rap legends like Tupac and Biggie, and give tons of respect to all these clowns. People are thinking this is the sort of stuff rap fans listen to. All these people talk about is money, bling bling and sex. Rap used to be about the streets now its just all i've got so much money and stuff. If you want a real rap CD then get one of the following.
NWA - Straight Outta Compton
Ice Cube - Amerikka's Most Wanted
Dr Dre - The Chronic
Snoop Doggy Dogg - Doggystyle
Nas - Illmatic
Tha Dogg Pound - Dogg Food
Tupac - Me Against The World
Tupac - All Eyez On me
Tupac - Greatest Hits
50 Cent - Power Of The Dollar
Biggie - Life After Death
You get the picture.

My little brother bought this CD and I couldn't believe he wasted his money on it. I tried to warn him that "Crunk Juice" was going to be wack, but he didn't want to listen to big sister. So after listening to "Crunk Juice" for a while, he finally agreed that I was right and sold the CD. I have to tell you that when I first heard "Crunk Juice" I laughed so hard that tears were coming from my eyes. It was so stupid that it was funny. But after hearing it again and again, it's still stupid as well as downright annoying and no longer funny. All it is is a bunch of shouting, cuss words, and electronic beats. How many times is Lil' Jon going to shout "YEE-AH!" "WHAT?!" "MOTHERF*CKAS!" and "P*SSY A** N*GGAS/B*TCHES"? Matter of fact, he looks like that pink dreadlocked Muppet named Clifford who was on "Muppets Tonite," looking like a beat up catfish. But, you know, it's a shame that hip-hop has hit an all time low with Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boyz. Maybe that's a good thing. I was listening to some KRS-One the other night and I thought to myself, "Why can't hip-hop be like this again? Rappers actually rapping about something important?" But, I don't know. When you have immature grown men like Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boyz making tons of money just acting stupid and angry, you know for a fact that these are definetly the last days. Don't you dare support Lil' Jon and his crappy "crunk" noise!

I am a huge rap fan and i think that is why i dont like lil jon. Rappers like lil jon are the reason why rap is falling apart. All i hear him say is yeah what ok and its annoying. I admit his beats are okay but i love rap and the crap today will have rock take over. And lil jon is the main reason why rap is crap today. But if you want to get "crunk" get this album.

I actually dont own the cd but ive heard enough of his stuff to want to rip my f#©kin hair out. Yeah he pretty much sucks all around.

I remember the days when you have 2 amazing types of music, HIP-HOP which was usually dancy and light, yet thoughtful and intellignet sometimes, or just plain dancy with rapping vocals such as Black Eyed Peas, Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, and even some of Puff Daddy's fun 80's and 70's samples were fun to dance to.

On the other hand we had Rap or Gangsta whatever. The Beats were usually downplayed by incredible flow, aggresion and energy that was usually political, rebellious, social or intimate. Music Like NWA, Ice T, Ice Cube, WU-Tang and all their variations, and may others. This was aggressive and dark and in your face.

Nowadays all you have is pure LAZY beats and trite cliche' lyrical content that is about being the best, because they can drink, and smoke and do more hoes then you. Even Female Rap has gone down the tube What happened to Queen Latifa and Salt N Peppa. Now all we have is Lil' Kim and other's rappin about how fast and hard they can please a man and call themselves Beotches and Hoes.

Eminem and 50 tried to bring aggression back, but fill their stuff with too much EGO Potty Humor and death without the political agenda. You can't talk politics one song, and fart or puke in the next, you sound like a hypocrite. And 50 has one of the worst rhymes ever with "I am on you like a fat kid on cake." Horrible who cares if you are in jail and you have sex visits in prison with you ex.

Now onto Lil John. First of his lyrical content is horrible and cliche'. Now I have no problems with harsh language, when it is done with a purpose like NWA. But Using language like that to describe how you are gonna beat up guys in a club because they are flirting with your hoes is pointless. It seems as though he is so ignorant that him and his crew have no other words to fill their raps but meaningless four letter words

His delivery is also so choppy and loud and downright annoying that you might as well listen to Mudvayne's nu-metal, you here the same thing. He has no flow infact, I would call it anti-flow it is so choppy.

His beats are so annoying. Everybody says what a great producer he is, but this is not dancey, or aggressive or important at all. I could not dance to this in a club I am sorry. It sounds like he recorded a dentist drill, a semi backing up and a construction site and distorted it to different pitches and speeds which make it sound worse then ever, on top of horribly repetitive generic bass loops.

Overall, Stuff like this has ruined a great style of music. Worst of all it did this just to make rap go commercial. Screw commercial, go buy WU-Tang stuff they are still releasing, as well as common, Mos Def, Talib and all those artists like that for true meaningful hip hop and rap, not this so-called music. This has no purpose other then to to make them money to put more gold on all their "lil" teeth. What happened to Porcelain???

I'm just posting this because I'm so sick of hearing "crunk" in everything. I'm sure someone on American Idol will do something "crunk" soon enough because practically all music nowadays is from the factory........ You know, BritneyBackstreetSyncDiddy-like! I might be a little less annoyed if the crunk sound has some diversity to it. But it always has lots of bass, some cheap keyboard sounds, "Real N@#$!s don't give a f@%*! or "tear da club up" or "slap yo' mammy" or some dumb sh*& like that for lyrics, and.........OKAYYYYY, I'm through complaining.

I decided to go out and buy this cd, and I took it home immediately and called up some of my friends to play some street hockey. I hadn't even taken the case out of the plastic yet, so my friends and I proceeded to play hockey using this cd case as a puck! The best thing is, as a car was coming, we moved the nets and stood to the sides of the street, and I had the notion to take my stick and slide the cd case right in front of the car. Needless to say, the car smashed it to bits and we all cheered as if we'd won a championship or something! It was a sight to behold. Today was the best day ever!
