"Crunk" is generally defined as a combination of crazy and drunk, a Southern expression for getting rowdy. The six members of Crime Mob are up to their ears in crunk on their self-titled debut, thanks to a combination of party-ready jams and a biting lyrical flow. Mixing it up with two female MCs and twice as many guy rappers, CM's smash "Knuck if You Buck" and its hard beats exemplify their first outing. Quicksilver rhymes are the rule of thumb, ranging from the ominous "If You Got Ana" to the neighborhood shout-out "Ellenwood Area." Not surprisingly, there's no lack of swagger as the threats and boasts fly throughout the self-explanatory "I'll Beat Yo Azz," before the guys give way to the ladies, who take front and center with the sassy and sharp "Stilettos (Pumps)," with its slow-rolling beat and hint of keyboards.
