So What Is This?
Welcome to the dopest site on the internet! White Folks Get Crunk is a site dedicated to the remix/mashup culture that seems to have consumed a portion of our generation. From B’more club tracks to 80’s/Rap mashups this site was built to showcase the talents of DJs and Remixers from across the globe and bring their work to the forefront. WFGC has evolved during the past 2 years from an idea to a slogan to a music blog and now an online user community.

About the name. No we are not racist. Every once in a while I get that question from somebody who just doesn’t get it. And honestly it is always a white person who is not at all into the music/lifestyle promoted on the site. Its really sort of just a play on words. Crunk derived from dirty south rap for cranking it up long ago. Then one day Lil Jon brings us a whole bunch of tunes in the same style that make it to top 40 radio and the crunk genre is born. We could argue now about the state of the actual genre of crunk music but it no longer has the presence it once did on pop radio. Remember when you heard Usher’s ‘Yeah’ every single day? In its passing Lil Jon has moved on somewhat and if you notice his last few big records, even sense the inception of this site, have been heavily dance/electro influenced. Check out Pitbull’s ‘The Anthem’ (Samples Calabria which has wound up in even Wal-Mart commercials) and ‘Go Crazy’ both featuring Lil Jon and are pretty much loops of classic tracks. My bet is these trace back to Lil Jon or Pitbull’s notice of the whole mashup culture which are also a large portion of this site. Go Crazy samples the same record, ‘Cream’, following the uber-popular mashup with Soulja Boy’s ‘Crank Dat’ by Dave Nada. The list goes on and on with these songs being made both mashup style and now released commercially. Also you will find a slew of Lil Jon voice samples in probably about 40% of B’more remixed tracks these days. It is almost as signature as the drum samples used. So in conclusion 1) We are not racist 2) I have never ever had a person with any skin color other than white think it was inappropriate (every black person’s reaction I have received actually was quite good!) and 3) White people get crunk to a different kind of music. This site shows you what it is, now have some damn fun with it people. Dance like an idiot if you want to, who cares who is watching!
