Well, 'Crunk Rock' doesn't mean rock. Initially when I started the album, I did collaborate with a bunch of rock musicians and producers. But as I started to have time to free my mind and catch different vibes, it started to mean something different.

For me, I put Mac Dre right up there with Biggie and 'Pac as legends who have since passed on.

Like when you hear Aretha Franklin sing - it touches your soul. Crunk music, it makes you just wanna lose your mind - just be free and wild out.

Nowhere else in America is everyone really ready to get outta their minds. No pun intended, like my song. Vegas is that place.

Sometimes I just got off of an international flight and people are like running up, screaming and hollering, and want to take pictures. They don't really understand like, 'Dude, I'm tired. Just say hello. Keep it moving.'

If the beat feels like it don't make you move right, I scrap that and go to another track. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes, sometimes it takes an hour to get one done.

Celebrity Apprentice' was something where you don't know what you're going to do the next day. Every two days, somebody goes home, and you don't know if the next day you've got to be the project manager or what's going to happen, so you can't really prepare. You really have to be on top of everything.

Zumba is world-wide, respected and it's about health. It's something that you really didn't expect from me. People have been blown away to find out that Zumba and I have partnered up.

We definitely have to take care of our teachers more. Raise the pay. Give them the tools they need.

Lil Jon

Teacher Car Tools

They let me put the Stanley Cup in my car. I got hookups.


Lil Jon

My full name is Jonathan.


Lil Jon

Yeah, I actually still have my crates that I used to DJ out of when I was first DJing - my crates that I would travel with and take to the club.


Lil Jon

The teachers teach the children that are going to take care of us. These are our future leaders, doctors, lawyers. So, they need to have everything in their arsenal to teach these kids.


Lil Jon

Ladies like to kiss.


Lil Jon

It's always shocking to people, because sometimes when I go on the road and I DJ, they think I'm just gonna perform, so to see me really DJing and playing their favorite song and really rockin', it's a shock to people, and definitely to DJs.


Lil Jon

I'm always on the road.


Lil Jon

I like a nice chicken taco. And of course fajitas.


Lil Jon

Yeah, I'm walking through the airport, I'm walking through the street, I'm driving in my car, people just start screaming at me - 'YEEEAAAHHH!'


Lil Jon

Well, 'Crunk Rock' doesn't mean rock. Initially when I started the album, I did collaborate with a bunch of rock musicians and producers. But as I started to have time to free my mind and catch different vibes, it started to mean something different.


Lil Jon

A lot of stuff that I'm involved in is about branding.


Lil Jon

I think Obama's done a great job.


Lil Jon

The word 'crunk' means energy. 'Crunk' is the past tense of crank. So if you crank something up, you are getting it started and getting it going. So 'crunk' is when it's going... when it's off the hook.


Lil Jon

I've been blessed. Every few years, I'll connect with somebody and put out a record with somebody that keeps me relevant.


Lil Jon

I've been coming to Vegas for so many years working in Vegas, so many years I might as well live here.


Lil Jon

I hate reality shows. It's funny because me and my wife be arguing all the time about reality shows 'cause she loves reality shows and watches them all day, all the time. And I be like, 'C'mon. No. No.'


Lil Jon

Everybody I see, that's the first thing they think of when they see me: 'WHUUUUUT?' or 'YEEEAAAHHH!' But they don't realize that everybody and their grandmother says that to me.


Lil Jon

I wanted to play drums and if I didn't play drums, I wouldn't make music and drums are the foundation for what I do.


Lil Jon

My music is party music. If you can make people party, you can always have an audience for that.


Lil Jon

I was into the Ramones, Bad Brains, all of that, when I was in high school.


Lil Jon

If you are having a hard week, turn on one of my songs. Some people are here for different things in life. My job is to make you forget about your troubles.


Lil Jon

I focus all the way on the club. That's why my music sounds the way it does, with the 808, heavy kicks. Every aspect of it is about the club, so I don't really care about the person who's listening on an iPod.


Lil Jon

When you put the guitars over the 808, it just makes it grittier and grimier. It's just different.


Lil Jon

I love Vegas cuz everybody who comes to hear me DJ is ready to party.


Lil Jon

You know, my era of DJing was the 90s. I think that was one of the best eras of music, period. From dancehall to hip hop to rock to pop to R&B to everything. I just like that era of music, so I just listen to a lot of 90s overall but definitely 90s hip hop.


Lil Jon

When I check in at the Encore, they're like, 'Welcome back, sir.' I'm back home, it's like my second home.


Lil Jon

When you have a lot of stress and negativity around you, when you cut that away, you cleanse.


Lil Jon

Before Lil Jon and The Eastside Boyz, nobody ever said, 'I'm a crunk artist. I make crunk music.'


Lil Jon

I guess certain kinds of jazz music could be Crunk. But the average jazz song, no, it's not Crunk.


Lil Jon

I'm the type, when I used to go to the record store I used to buy two or three copies of certain records so I've got a pretty large selection of a lot of 12 inches.
