Talk:Crunk

Other contemporaneous usages
If I'm not mistaken, Conan O'Brien used to have a gag promoting "crunk" as a nonsense word to replace censorable language, and there was a character on the "Justice Friends" segments of Dexter's Laboratory, called The Infraggable Krunk. As far as I know, these usages were unrelated (even to each other); but I have wondered if it wasn't just a coincidence, since the music seems to have developed and become popular roughly around the same time as episodes of those shows first aired.

Source for Conan/Late Night Link
Additional Source - Robert Smigel discussing "Crunk" as a pre-Late Night (1993) submission by prospective writer Dino Stamatopoulos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPE_5fx-AIQ

Per Dino: The word, made up to get around censors by Dino as "Cunk" to sound like "Cunt" was part of his 21 submissions to Smigel to become a writer on Late Night. This idea stood out to Smigel as his favorite, and was changed to "Crunk". Similarity to Rap scene Crunk was a coincidence.

Also, I know there's an interview of Snoop Dogg during the 93-94 time frame where Conan "introduces him" to the word Crunk (where it is I don't know), much like Lil Jon explains Crunk to Conan on his current TV show ( http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xi2pun_211411234321_webcam ), saying "he's heard this word for years but doesn't know what it actually means," which supports that the word on the Late Night show was just a comedy writer's imagination.

If this is significant enough to Wikify, have fun.

Rename Crunk to Club Music?
The term "Crunk" is definitely out of style. Ariesk47 (talk) 22:19, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

This article refers to the term of its title. Club music is a much more generic term. I vote no.Voila-pourquoi (talk) 00:33, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Crunk
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Crunk's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "PopMatters": From Flockaveli:  From Goodies (album):  From Radioactive (Yelawolf album):  From Promise (Ciara song): http://www.popmatters.com/pm/review/ciara-ciara-the-evolution/ From Blunderbuss (album):  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 01:57, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
