Crunk Orgins, “get buck” music

This.

They helped popularize and spread what, as I understand it, was already bubbling in Memphis.

 

[Jaguar93]

Yes

 

[FlimFlam]

not only is the answer yes , Tennessee was fully aware of this. there was a bunch of shyt talking behind this too... just was never picked up by commercial media or turned into any real conflict

 

[Mugenight]

Nothing proto about it

It is Crunk.

A lot of folks back in the days in the M thought these was Memphis nikkas at first.
