Survival of the Crunkest

concert crowd with red lights shining

It’s all adrenaline.

 

Katie and Yves snap their fingers … and give crunk and snap music their due credit.

Crunk music. Snap music. They go together like Atlanta and hip-hop.

For the brief and delightful time that crunk and snap were in the limelight, hip-hop felt so carefree (and chaotic).

Katie and Yves take a trip back to the aughts to pay homage to the two genres that brought people together — in real life and on the internet.

Some burdens were taken off of our shoulders so we could move them freely.
— Yves, "Survival of the Crunkest"
 
It was like the hood’s iambic pentameter.
