DO NOT FORGET TO USE: The divided South: Why is crunk music so successful?The southern region of the U.S. map is booming in hip-hop and generating a buzz unlike ever before. But, what drives this success? How does the South differ from the East Coast? Is the South considered legitimate? These questions plague southern rap artists and is reflected in some of their music. Unfortunately, the mainstream success of "crunk music" has damaged the reputations of other aspiring southern rappers that possess deep meaning and a real voice.
