Jonathan Smith (born January 17, 1971),[1][2][3] better known by his stage name Lil Jon, is an
American rapper, music producer, entrepreneur, and occasional disc jockey who was a member of
the group Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz. Lil Jon formed the group in 1997, and the group released
several albums between then and 2004. He then went solo and released a new album in 2010 called
Crunk Rock.
Early life
Lil' Jon was born and raised in LaGrange, Georgia. He graduated from LaGrange High School.[4]
[edit] Career
[edit] Early career
After working as a DJ for Atlanta night clubs, he started working for So So Def Recordings
between 1993 and 2000.[5] The group signed to the Atlanta-based Mirror Image Records and were
distributed by Ichiban Records. In 1997, Lil' Jon & the East Side Boyz debuted with Get Crunk,
Who U Wit: Da Album. It included singles "Who U Wit?" and "Shawty Freak a Lil' Sumthin'", the
latter of which came out in 1998. Both singles charted on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs
chart at #70 and #62 respectively.[6] In 2000 Jon took part in starting up his own label BME
Recordings and signed a distribution agreement with Norcross, Georgia based Southern Music
Distribution. There he released his break through album titled We Still Crunk. Among the tracks on
that project was the hit single "I Like Dem Girlz", which reached #55 on the R&B chart and #3 on
the Hot Rap Tracks chart.
After hearing feedback that Lil' Jon was "the new guy" from street team people in the markets
where he was attracting his biggest audiences - namely Atlanta, St. Louis, Memphis and Dallas A&R at TVT, Bryan Leach, went to one of his Atlanta shows and was blown away by the immense
energy of the experience.[7] Leach told HitQuarters: "It was like early Beastie Boys, when they had
the energy of a rock group but they were rapping, and ... that energy is what crunk music is all
about."[7] Lil' Jon & The East Side Boyz signed to TVT Records in 2001 and debuted there with Put
Yo Hood Up, which combined previously released tracks with new ones. The group's first nationally
played single was "Bia' Bia'", which featured rappers Ludacris, Too Short, Big Kapp, and Chyna
Whyte.[1] "Bia' Bia'" peaked at #97 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #47 on the Billboard R&B chart.[6]
In 2002, the group released Kings of Crunk. "I Don't Give A..." was its first single; it featured
Mystikal and Krayzie Bone and peaked at #50 on the R&B chart.[6] The group's next single, a

collaboration with fellow Atlanta hip hop group Ying Yang Twins titled "Get Low", became
popular in nightclubs nationwide and reached the top ten of the Hot 100.Crunk Juice followed in
2004, led by "What U Gon' Do" featuring Lil' Scrappy. "What U Gon' Do" peaked at #22 on the Hot
100, #13 on the R&B chart, and #5 on the rap chart; its follow-up, "Lovers & Friends" featuring
Usher and Ludacris, peaked at #3 (Hot 100), #2 (R&B), and #1 (rap).[6]
[edit] Solo career and production
In addition to leading Lil' Jon & The East Side Boyz, Lil' Jon has also produced many hit urban
singles. From 2003 to 2005, while still with The East Side Boyz, Lil' Jon produced hits like "Salt
Shaker" by Ying Yang Twins, "Yeah!" by Usher, "Freek-a-Leek" by Petey Pablo, "Shorty Wanna
Ride" by Young Buck, "Shake That Monkey" by Too Short, "Let's Go" by Trick Daddy, and
"Girlfight" by Brooke Valentine.[1] Lil' Jon entered the San Francisco Bay Area hyphy music scene
in 2006 with his collaborations with Bay Area rapper E-40: Lil' Jon produced E-40's single "Tell
Me When To Go" and had E-40 and Atlanta rapper Sean P on his own "Snap Yo Fingers".[8] In
2006, Lil' Jon severed his negotiation with record label TVT. He vowed never to record for TVT
Records again, alleging that TVT owner Steve Gottlieb was shortchanging him.[9] He also began
recording a rock music album, Crunk Rock; in May 2006 he began recording in Las Vegas, Nevada
because rock band The Killers was recording its upcoming album Sam's Town there and the East
Side Boyz signed a new deal with Rick Robinson aka Double R CEO and Founder of IMG
Recordings, which the album got pushed back to 2010.[10]
MTV News reported in March 2008 that Crunk Rock was taking more time to complete than Lil'
Jon already planned.[11] As part of TVT Records' 2008 bankruptcy auction, Lil' Jon withdrew his
multi-million dollar objection to the TVT sale proceedings and agreed to TVT’s transfer of his artist
agreement to The Orchard. In return, The Orchard released Lil' Jon from all future obligations and
returned the rights to the master recordings of Crunk Rock. Crunk Rock was finally released on
June 8, 2010 and it features artists such as LMFAO, Soulja Boy, Ying Yang Twins, Waka Flocka
Flame, R.Kelly, and many more.[12] In March 2011, Lil Jon took part in the fourth season of The
Celebrity Apprentice on NBC and was eliminated in the Final Four.[13] In July 2011, in a recent
interview has said that he is working on a new studio album called "Party Animal" and has released
a song with LMFAO called "Drink".
[edit] Musical style and influences
Jason Birchmeier of all music has described Lil' Jon's production as "bass-heavy" and his album Put
Yo Hood Up as having "a long and varied list of guest rappers to accompany the beats". With the
guest performers featured on that album much more than the East Side Boyz, Birchmeier remarked:
"The end result is an album that resembles a street-level mixtape rather than a traditional artistoriented album".[14] He was specifically influenced by 2 Live Crew, 8Ball & MJG, OutKast, Geto
Boys, UGK, Dr. Dre, and Sir Mix-A-Lot. Alex Henderson, also of allmusic, contrasted Lil' Jon's
style of "rowdy, in-your-face, profanity-filled party music" with other Southern rappers', those who
"have a gansta/thug life agenda" and those who convey "serious sociopolitical messages".[15] Lil'
Jon has also found influence in rock music, having worked with Rick Rubin and Korn.[16] He was
seen on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of All-Time program wearing a Bad Brains t-shirt and also used
to listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd growing up in the South in the 70s. For Trick Daddy's "Let's Go", Lil'
Jon sampled the bass line from Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train".[10]

Full Biography
Exuberant, loud-mouthed, and regularly adorned with a bejeweled pimp chalice at hand, Lil Jon
was the charismatic figurehead of the Dirty South crunk movement that arose from the Atlanta area
around the turn of the century. Born Jonathan Smith on January 27, 1971, in Atlanta, GA, the
producer/rapper began his rap industry ascension as part of Jermaine Dupri's So So Def label, for
which he worked from 1993 to 2000. In the mid-'90s Lil Jon began making a name for himself as a
producer with a knack for club remixes. Before long he formed his own group, Lil Jon & the East
Side Boyz, comprised of Big Sam and Lil Bo, in addition to himself.

Essentially a means of showcasing his production talent, and profiting from it as well, Lil Jon & the
East Side Boyz signed to Mirror Image Records, an Atlanta-based label distributed by Ichiban
Records. In 1997 the label released Who U Wit?, a CD single, and Get Crunk, Who U Wit: Da
Album; a second CD single, Shawty Freak a Lil Sumtin', followed in 1998. The regional success of
"Who U Wit?" brought with it plenty of outside production opportunities for Lil Jon, and so it
wasn't until 2000 that he returned with another East Side Boyz album, We Still Crunk, this one
released independently by BME Recordings. A contract with TVT Records followed, as did the
group's label debut, Put Yo Hood Up (2001), which boasted some previously released material (e.g.,
"Who U Wit?," "I Like Dem Girlz"), as well as "Bia' Bia'," the first Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz
single to get national airplay, thanks in part to the song's guest features (i.e., Ludacris, Too Short).
Led by the single "I Don't Give a @#&%," Kings of Crunk (2002) then capitalized on Lil Jon's
breakthrough, spawning the Top Five hit "Get Low." Featuring the Ying Yang Twins, "Get Low"
was a club phenomenon throughout 2003; Part II, a CD/DVD EP released toward the end of the
year, featured dancehall and merengue remixes of the song, along with additional material. Lil Jon's
production style became ubiquitous on urban radio thereafter, as "Salt Shaker" (a production for the
Ying Yang Twins), "Goodies" (Ciara), "Yeah!" (Usher), "Freek-a-Leek" (Petey Pablo), "Shorty
Wanna Ride" (Young Buck), "Damn!" (YoungBloodZ), "Let's Go" (Trick Daddy), "Culo" (Pitbull),
"Head Bussa" (Lil Scrappy), "Neva Eva" (Trillville), and "Shake That Monkey" (Too Short) all
garnered significant airplay in 2003-2004. By this point, the celebrity of Lil Jon was such that
comedian Dave Chappelle was memorably satirizing him (especially his signature "yeaaah!" and
"whaaat!?" expressions) on a couple episodes of The Chappelle Show.
Toward the end of 2004, "What U Gon' Do," a Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz single featuring Lil
Scrappy, announced the release of Crunk Juice, a star-studded album featuring guest features on
nearly every song. "Friends & Lovers," featuring Usher and Ludacris, became the most successful
single, reaching the Top Three of the Billboard 100. In the wake of Crunk Juice, Lil Jon put his solo
career on hold while his label went through bankruptcy hearings. He continued to produce hits for
others, including "I'm a King" (T.I., 2005), "Touch" (Amerie, 2005), "Girlfight" (Brooke Valentine,
2005), "Okay" (Nivea, 2005), "Presidential" (YoungBloodZ, 2006), "U and Dat" (E-40, 2006),
"Gangsta Gangsta" (Lil Scrappy, 2006), and "Dime/Tell Me" (Pitbull, 2006), among others. In 2010
his solo career was back in the forefront with the release of that year's Crunk Rock. ~ Jason

Lil Jon Gets Rowdy In Yelawolf's 'Hard White'
Video
First clip from Yela's upcoming Radioactive debut features a
debauched crowd in a gritty bar.

Bar fights, bikini wrestling and a Lil Jon guest spot — what's not to love about Yelawolf's "Hard White" video?
On Tuesday (September 20) Catfish Billy debuted the first visual to his debut album, Radioactive, which is
set to hit stores on October 25.
The Motion Family-directed clip starts with a pan from an outside parking lot, revealing bikers, truckers and
various riffraff who file into the gritty bar where the MC is set to perform. Lil Jon is the hype man, but Yela is
clearly the life of the party as he raps and pops champagne bottles in a tie-dyed hoodie. "You ain't gotta lay
down on your back to know you're already f---ed up/ Lettin' me in the motherf---in' club is like lettin' me drunk
drive in your truck," the Shady signee spits to set things off as partygoers keep their hands in the air.
The crowd is a mixed bunch — black, white, tatted up and gangsta — who seem to enjoy debauchery.
Women are passed out drunk in the bathroom, while Wolf slides his buddy across the bar top like a human
bowling ball, striking all the staged beer bottles in the process. The Gadsen, Alabama, lyricist isn't the only
entertainment in the staged nightclub, however. In the middle of the venue a kiddie pool, filled with some
type of lubricant, houses two scantily clad eye candies who wrestle and smack each other on the backside in
slow motion as the rowdy crowd cheers them on.
The song's hook ("Up in the club, don't give a f---") is a lyrical reflection of what fans see. Visually, "Hard
White" is dark, mixing hip-hop and punk elements seamlessly as Yela proves he is a musical force to be
reckoned with even before his boast at the end of the clip. "I ain't in the building, I own the building, bitch," he
exclaimed. And who are we to argue?

When Lil Jon was fired from Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice," the rapper-producer fell short
of the amount of money he wanted to raise for his charity.
That charity thought his efforts were just enough, though. On Tuesday, he was honored by the
United Methodist Children's Home for raising $80,000.
The proceeds will be placed in an endowment fund to help educational opportunities and refurbish
buildings at the sprawling 99-acre campus in suburban Atlanta. There will also be multimedia
studio named after Lil Jon to help launch a music and performing arts program.

Sporting a gray suite and a black bow tie, the normally energetic Lil Jon — who is known as the
"King of Crunk" — was at a loss for words. His voice trembled when the pointed out that today was
the birthday of his father — who died several years ago.
"I'm rarely speechless, but I'm speechless today," Lil Jon said. "The goal was to raise awareness to
this children's home. Through the show, a lot of people got to learn about this home. Through the
show, more people said they'll make more donations. I'm happy with that."
The 40-year-old said his initial goal was to raise $100,000. He was among the final four contestants
along with John Rich, Meat Loaf and Marlee Matlin.
Rich won the competition on Sunday, taking home $250,000 for his charity.
Lil Jon's tenure ended more than a week ago after he told a panel of past "Apprentice" winners that
Rich and Matlin should face off against each other rather than himself.
Terence Johnson, director of programs at the United Methodist Children's Home, said he wouldn't
have traded in Lil Jon for any of the other show's contestants. He said the rapper brought national
awareness to the UMCH, which opened in 1871 and was originally founded as an orphanage for
children who lost parents during the Civil War.
"It translates into hope," Johnson said. "You can't put a price tag on it. This is the spark that some of
these kids need."
Johnson said Lil Jon's ability to help others on the show look past the negative stereotype associated
with rappers, who are known for their harsh and obscene lyrics.
Lil Jon's mother, who was in attendance, said she was proud of her son's positive effect through his
charity.
"It brought back sadness," said Lil Jon's mother Carrie Smith-Williams, who was a foster parent. "I
was so happy to see him express that without even crying. They were so close. I was proud of him."
The charity efforts won't stop there with Jon and his "Celebrity Apprentice" counterparts. He, Meat
Loaf, Rich and Mark McGrath recently released the "Stand In The Storm," a song that will benefit
each of their charities.

Frontier Touring Company Presents
50 Cent
With G Unit, Lil Jon & The BME Click
+ Bliss N' Eso + Weapon X and Ken Hell
Wednesday 15 February 2006
On Sale from Friday 16th December 2005
50 Cent last blitzed through Australia and New Zealand in 2003 with a sell out run of concerts. In 2006 he’s returning
to our shores on the back of his debut movie and soundtrack album for his Get Rich or Die Tryin’ Tour.
Dogged by controversy since his first appearance in the music arena, 50 Cent has defied the critics and skeptics and
now holds the title of 2005’s highest selling album in the United States with The Massacre (Universal), beating out
fellow chart toppers Green Day, Mariah Carey and Kelly Clarkson. 50 Cent is also the first recording artist since the
Beatles (in 1964) to have four songs in the US Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
His debut film, also titled Get Rich or Die Tryin’, recently took US$12.5 million on its opening day in the States. Based
around 50 Cent’s life and directed by Jim Sheridan, the film will be released in Australia on January 12 (through UIP).
Over the last year 50 Cent has toured extensively through the US and Europe and has blown the rooftop off countless
venues.
For the Australian shows “King Of Krunk” Lil Jon & The BME Click will join the tour while Sydney trio Bliss n Eso and
Melbourne lads Weapon X & Ken Hell round out the night.
No stranger to touring alongside major international acts, Bliss n Eso have hit the road in the past with the likes of
Cypress Hill, Naughty By Nature, Jurassic 5 and The Roots. Already a favourite on JJJ and commercial airwaves, Bliss
n Eso are sure to win even more fans throughout the course of the 50 Cent tour.
Then there’s Melbourne lads Weapon X & Ken Hell. Without doubt, they’ve had a huge year. Not only have they
released their debut album SNEAKERPIMPIN AINT EASY (Illusive) but they also received their first ARIA nomination and
toured extensively on the massive Coke Live ‘n Local Tour 05.
All in all these concerts are going to be MASSIVE and with definitely just the one 50 Cent show only in each city tickets
aren’t expected to last for long. For his fans in Christchurch, Wellington, Adelaide and Perth this will be their first
taste of 50 Cent live!

This article is about the Lil Jon album. For the genre of music also known as "crunk rock", see
Crunkcore.
Crunk Rock is the solo debut album by American Crunk artist Lil Jon, released on June 8, 2010 by
BME and Universal Republic.[3][4] The characters at the bottom of the album's cover are Japanese
katakana characters, which read "Kurunku Rokku," the Japanese transcription of the album's title.
Background and recording
Work on the album began in 2005. In May 2006, MTV reported that it would be released late that
summer or in early fall.[5] At that time he announced that he was relocating to Las Vegas where the
album would be recorded, and that half of the album would be similar in style to his 2003 single
"Get Low".[5] In June that year, recording had started, and Lil Jon announced that he planned to
include collaborations with R. Kelly, Mariah Carey, and Snoop Dogg on the album, and the first
single from the album sessions, "Snap Yo Fingers" was released, reaching number 7 on the
Billboard Hot 100.[6][7] In January 2007, it was reported that Lil Jon was still in the studio working
on the album, and that recorded tracks included "Roll Call" featuring Lil Wayne and Ciara, and
tracks featuring R. Kelly and Nate Dogg.[8] The prospective release date at that time was Spring
2007.[8] At this time he was already indicating problems with the record label, stating that he "was
going through the drama with TVT Records".[9] By August 2007, the album's release date had
slipped again, with late 2007 the expected date. The list of guest artists had by this time expanded to
include Game, Ice Cube, P.O.D. and Kid Rock, with Jon explaining that "the concept of the album
is that it is merger of rock and hip-hop styles, utilising the different styles of the guest
contributors."[10] By November 2007, however, the album was reported to be "65 percent, maybe 70
percent done", with a release now expected in 2008, with Lil Jon taking time out to DJ and do
voiceover work in Hollywood.[11]
By March 2008, the problems with TVT had intensified, with record label TVT described by MTV
as having gone from "having money to burn to being on the verge of folding", and Lil Jon said to
have experienced legal issues with the label over money.[12] While work on the album was
interrupted, with Lil Jon citing the stress of the TVT situation as causing him to taking a complete
break from recording the album, he had worked with other artists such as Flo Rida and Pharrell
Williams, and had done production work on E-40's Ball Street Journal album.[12] The TVT label
filed for bankruptcy in February 2008, putting the album's release into doubt.[13] By August 2008,
Lil' Jon had freed himself from his contract with TVT, giving him the rights to the master
recordings for Crunk Rock, in return for dropping his objection to the sale of TVT's assets to The
Orchard Group.[14] He restarted work on the album and stated that he was considering a new 'World
Music' direction for the album and a possible change of title, saying "I'm touching so many different
kinds of people on this album as well as keeping my core fan base at the same time."[15] In October
2008, Lil Jon signed to Universal Republic and the album was re-scheduled for a release in early
2009.[4] In March 2009, two mixtapes appeared from Lil' Jon, Rockbox Vol. 1 and 2, with Rolling
Stone announcing that Crunk Rock was expected later in 2009.[16] Indeed, the second volume closed
with Jon stating "Crunk Rock coming sooooooon".[16]
By September 2009 a new date of November 24 was announced for the album's release, although it
was still unfinished.[17][18] Confirmed guests additionally included Roscoe Dash, Mariah Carey,
3OH!3, Whole Wheat Bread, David Guetta, Steve Aoki, LMFAO, Zuper Blahq, DJ Chuckie,
Laidback Luke, Elephant Man, Pastor Troy, Ying Yang Twins, Akon, Mario, R. Kelly, T-Pain,
Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, and Pitbull.[18][19] Another single from the album, the RedOne-produced "Give
It All U Got", was announced, with a promotional video filmed in Miami in September.[18][20] Lil
Jon stated the album would now be more eclectic than previously envisaged with elements of house

music, pop and R&B.[19] By October 2009, Lil Jon described the album as "80 percent done", with
all tracks recorded but "some final touches" still required, with the release date pushed back into
early 2010.[21] The new single from the album, the disco-tinged "Give It All U Got", was released in
November 2009. Lil Jon held a Listening Session for the album in 2010.[citation needed] Rap-Up
reported that the album is set for a June 8, 2010 release.[22] In an interview with Billboard in May
2010 he confirmed that Crunk Rock will be released on June 8.[23] The album was released in
standard and deluxe edition.[24][25]

Slant Magazine
USA Today
[35]
Upon its release, the album received generally mixed reviews from music critics.[36] Allmusic writer
David Jeffries gave it 3 out of 5 stars and called it "a scattershot set of tracks that just barely fit
together, but take into consideration the label problems and legal issues the producer has faced since
the album's conception, and it becomes a scruffy mess you just might cheer on".[30] Emanuel
Wallace of RapReviews gave Crunk Rock a 5/10 rating and wrote "If you're looking for lyrical
greatness, you'll be disappointed. If you want an album filled with nothing but trunk-rattling beats
you'll be disappointed".[33] Slant Magazine writer Jesse Cataldo gave the album 2½ out of 5 stars
and described its songs as "thick, silly concoctions, glazed with bass and defined by endless
repetition, whirlwinds of chants and shouts that circle like demented carousels".[34] The New York
Times writer Jon Caramanica commended the album's production, but ultimately expressed a
negative response towards Lil Jon's lyrics, writing "he retains his trademark ignorance and
indignation: plenty of the most salacious material here is his own... he’s back to noisily asserting
primacy through fight chants".[32] USA Today's Steve Jones gave it 2½ out of 4 stars and shared a
similar sentiment, stating "He has mixed more rock and electronica in with the thumping bass lines,
but the message remains the same: Get up and jam, or go home".[35] Slava Kuperstein of
HipHopDX gave it a 2.5/5 rating and in conclusion of the album said "With the kind of clout Lil
Jon has, it's disappointing he wasn't able to come up with a better supporting cast (especially given
his features in the past), which makes for an equally disappointing album."[31]

WU-TANG CLAN (BIO)
The Wu-Tang Clan is a New York City-based hip hop group. Wu-Tang Clan consists of RZA,
GZA, Raekwon, U-God, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, Method Man, Masta Killa, the late Ol'
Dirty Bastard, and Cappadonna (who was admitted into the group in 2007 by RZA, just before 8
Diagrams was released[1]). They were formed in (and are generally associated with) the New York
City borough of Staten Island (referred to by members as "Shaolin"), though some of its members
originate from Brooklyn.
One of the most critically and commercially successful hip hop groups of all time, Wu-Tang Clan
rose to fame with their uncompromising brand of hardcore rap music, and their success enabled all
10 Wu-Tang members to pursue solo careers, with varying degrees of success. They have
introduced or launched the careers of numerous other affiliated artists and groups,[2] often
collectively known as the Wu-Tang Killa Bees.[3] In 2007, MTV ranked Wu-Tang the 5th greatest
Hip-hop group of all time.

Exuberant, loud-mouthed, and regularly seen with a bejeweled pimp chalice at hand, Lil Jon is the
charismatic figurehead of the phenomenal Dirty South crunk movement that arose from the Atlanta
area in the late 90â019s. Without question, Lil Jon is responsible for the crunk movement elevating
from a mere contender in the hip hop race, to the leader of the pack, dominating the clubs and charts
in the process. Now, with 7 solo albums under his belt and a string of massive hits including
â01CSnap Yo Fingersâ01D, â01CLovers and Friendsâ01D and â01CGet Lowâ01D, Lil Jon is
bringing his energetic live show to Australia this October. Lil Jon started off his career as a DJ
spinning at house parties, but eventually graduated to the Atlanta club scene. His notoriety soon
landed him on the music-industry fast track, scoring him an A&R gig at Jermaine Dupriâ019s So So
Def Records as well as a radio slot on V-103 in Atlanta . Like many a hip-hop producer, Jonâ019s
Djing saw him eventually move into production. He formed his own group, Lil Jon and the Eastside
Boyz and released two successful albums, the first in 1997. In 2001, he released â01CPut Yo Hood
Upâ01D which featured the massive club hit â01CBia Biaâ01D that went on to break the Top 20
download chart. Just one year later, h

P.O.D., Kid Rock, Ciara, Ice Cube, and R. Kelly are among the stars lining up to guest on Lil Jon's
upcoming hip-hop/rock hybrid, "Crunk Rock." The artist hopes to release the TVT set before the
end of the year but a date has yet to be confirmed.
"I worked with the guitar player from P.O.D., Marcos, a punk band called Whole Wheat Bread from
Jacksonville, Fla., Kid Rock and a few others," Lil Jon tells Billboard.com. "My sh*t is real rock
guitars with my beats, not keyboard guitars with ghetto beats. It's gonna be a little different from
what you hear right now, but I think everyone will love it."
The half-rock, half-hip-hop set will also feature Remy Ma, Lil Wayne, The Game, Gucci Mane,
Fabo from D4L and Three 6 Mafia.
As far as other rap groups using rock elements in their music recently, Jon says he's pleased that
they can open their minds up to rock. "I've been doing crunk rock for the past two years," he says. "I
did a street record with Three 6 Mafia in October where I say 'Party like a rock star, f*ck like a porn
star.' Now everybody wants to be a rock star 'cause it's cool."
"One thing I like is people are opening [our] ears to the music, 'cause [we] tend to be closed-minded
to sh*t we don't know about," he continues. "It might make a motherf**ker that don't listen to rock
go listen to some Guns N' Roses."
