Before DJ Khalid, It was Lil Jon who was running shyt. I remember how big these dudes were in the South going back to when I first heard BIA BIA for the first time at a club in Greensboro. Their first album was solid, Their 2nd album Kings of Crunk catapulted their popularity and Crunk Juice was where Lil Jon peaked. He was EVERYWHERE. Lil Jon knew how to produce R&b tracks as well. He was actually talented behind the boards.

This album had some BANGING ass production for starters. Get Crunk, Get BLow, Whatcha Goin Do, White Meat(8ball and MJG featured) were heavy trunk rattlers. But what is baffling to me to this day was that They didn't shoot no video for Lovers and Friends featuring Luda and Usher. That had potential to be the biggest song of 05 because Usher had dropped Confessions, Luda was still popular and Jon was riding a new wave. What the fukk happened with that?

Some unnecessary beef between Lil Jon and Usher over money. Word is they tried to play each other since both believed they were what made Yeah! work and thus should get a bigger cut. They never worked out the deal and that's why the single never really got pushed.
