Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Lil Jon i nā mea pā ma ke ʻano he "King of Crank". ʻO kahi kālena multifaceted hiki iā ia ke kapa ʻia ʻaʻole wale he mea hoʻokani pila, akā he mea hana keaka, mea hana a me ka mea kākau kiʻi o nā papahana.
ʻO ka wā kamaliʻi a me ka ʻōpio o Jonathan Mortimer Smith, ka "King of Crank" e hiki mai ana.
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Jonathan Mortimer Smith ma Ianuali 17, 1971 ma Atlanta, USA. He mau limahana kona mau mākua ma ka hui koa ʻo Lockheed Martin.
Ua noho haʻahaʻa ka ʻohana a hānai i ʻelima keiki. Ua mālama ʻo Jonathan, ʻo ia ka hiapo, i kāna mau kaikaina. Hāpai nā mākua i nā keiki i ke koʻikoʻi. I ka ʻike ʻana i ka makemake maoli o ke keiki hiapo i ke mele, kākoʻo lākou iā ia.
Ua loaʻa iā Jonathan Smith kāna hoʻonaʻauao kula e like me ke ʻano magnetic ma ke kula kahiko loa o ʻAmelika i kapa ʻia ma hope o F. Douglas. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ke kula no nā haumāna ʻAmelika ʻAmelika mai nā ʻohana ʻilihune. Nui nā poʻe puka o kēia kula ma hope mai i lilo i mau mea pena kiʻi kaulana, nā loio a me nā kālaiʻāina.
ʻOiai ke aʻo ʻana ma ke kula, ua lilo ke kāne i hoaaloha me Robert McDowell lāua ʻo Vince Philips. Ua hoʻohui ʻia nā ʻōpio e ka makemake maʻamau i ka skateboarding. Akā, pono nā kāne i ke kālā, a hoʻomaka lākou e loaʻa kālā keu ma kahi hale kūʻai mea haʻuki.
ʻO ka hana mua ma ke mele Lil Jon
ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona o ke ʻano magnetic o ka hoʻonaʻauao ʻana he loea i wehewehe ʻia. Ua lilo ʻo Jonathan i hoihoi i nā mele uila. I mea e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ai i kona mau akamai, ua lilo ʻo ia i mea hoʻonohonoho i kahi pāʻina mele kūikawā Old Engand Chicken Partyes.
Ua hele mai nā ʻōpio makemake i nā mele uila e hoʻolohe iā Jonathan. ʻO ka manaʻo o nā mākua e pili ana i nā'ahamele a kā lākou keiki: "ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi ma lalo o ka nānāʻana o nā mākua ma mua o ka heleʻana ma nā alanui."
ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ua neʻe ka DJ akamai mai ka basement i nā hui hula o kona kūlanakauhale. A laila ua hālāwai ʻo ia me kahi kanaka nāna i hoʻoikaika i ka biography mele o kahi mea pena ʻōpio.
ʻO ka kamaʻāina me Jermaine Dupree (ka mea nona ka So So Def Recordings) i kōkua iā Jonathan e komo i loko o kahi hui mele. ʻO kēia kahi i hoʻomaka ai kāna huakaʻi mele ʻoihana.
Nā pae o ke ala hana o Lil Jon
I ka manawa ma ke keena hoʻopaʻa leo, loaʻa kahi kanaka akamai i kahi kūlana kiʻekiʻe ma ke keʻena kūloko o ka hui.
Ua kākau ʻo Jonathan (Lil Jon) i ke mele i ka makahiki 1993 i kona 22 makahiki.
ʻO ka papahana mua o ka mea hoʻokani a me ka haku mele i ka makahiki 1996 ʻo ia ka album Def Bass All-Stars. Ua kōkua ʻo Atlanta rappers iā ia e hoʻopaʻa i ka hōʻiliʻili. Ua hōʻoia ʻia ka album i ke gula e ka RIAA a ua ukali ʻia e nā pūʻulu LP.
E like me kēia, i ka makahiki 1995, ua hoʻokumu ka mea hoʻokani i ka hui ʻo Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz. Ua hōʻike ka inoa i ke kumu a me kahi i noho ai o nā lālā o ka hui. He poʻe kamaʻāina lākou a pau o ka ʻāina hikina o Atlanta.
I ka makahiki 1997, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i kā lākou papahana mua, Get Crunk, Who U Wit: Da Album. ʻO ia ka mea i hoʻolaha i ke ʻano hou o ke mele crunk (crank). He 17 mau ʻāpana mele i loko o ka album, a ʻo kekahi o lākou ʻo Who U Wit? ua kaulana loa ma Atlanta.
Akā ʻaʻole mākaukau ka poʻe hoʻolohe no ke ʻano hou. A i ka loaʻa ʻole o kahi hui hoʻolaha, ʻo ke kūʻai aku ʻana o ka album he "hane".
ʻO ka album ʻelua a ka hui, ʻo We Still Crunk! (2000) i loaʻa i ka hopena like me ka mua. ʻOiai ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia ka hāʻule ʻana, ma hope o ia mea he kūleʻa ʻike ʻole ʻia. Ua kākau pū kekahi ʻelele o ka hale hoʻopaʻa leo o New York i kahi ʻaelike me nā mea hoʻokani pila. No laila, ua hoʻolako ʻia lākou me ka hoʻolaha ʻana ma ka pae ʻāina.
ʻO ke kolu album, Put Yo Hood Up! (2001) (kākoʻo ʻia e TVT Records) kaulana loa a hele i ke gula. Ua komo ʻo Bia, Bia mai kēia album i nā mele 20 i hoʻoiho ʻia e like me ka pūnaewele kūikawā.
Ua puka mai ka album Kings of Crunk i ka makahiki aʻe - pālua platinum. A ke kani mau nei ka mele Get Low i nā hui kaulana honua. ʻO kēia hana ka mea kani i ka pāʻani kaulana Need for Speed: Underground. I ka pau ʻana o 2003, ua komo kēia album i ka papa inoa o nā 20 mea kūʻai maikaʻi loa ma ʻAmelika.
ʻO ka album Crunk Juice, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma 2004, ʻelua platinum.
"Hoʻomaha" i ka hana a Lil Jon a me kāna hoʻomau
Ma hope o ka lanakila nui, ua hoʻomaha ka mea mele i kāna hana no 6 mau makahiki. ʻO ke kumu o kēia he paio me TVT Records. ʻO ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā kuleana ma lalo o kahi ʻaelike me kahi hale hoʻopaʻa leo, ua hoʻokuʻu ka mea hoʻokani pila i ka haku mele Snap Yo Fingers. A laila ua haki ka ʻaelike ma waena o lākou.
Ua hoʻi mai ʻo ia i ka makahiki 2010 wale nō me ka papahana solo Crunk Rock. Ua hoʻopaʻa ka mea hoʻokani pila i kāna album ma ka Universal Republic Records studio recording.
ʻO ka "breakthrough" maoli ʻo ia ka Turn Down for What, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma 2014 me DJ Snake. Ua loaʻa i kēia mele mele he 203 miliona mau manaʻo ma YouTube. Ua lanakila ka duo i ka MTV Video Music Awards no ka Luna Hoʻokele.
A laila ua hōʻike ka mea hoʻokani pila i kahi album hou ʻo Party Animal ma 2015.
He aha ka mea i ʻike ʻia e pili ana i ka ʻohana o Lila John a me kāna hana aloha?
Ua male ʻo Lil Jon iā Nicole Smith. ʻAʻole lāua i hoʻokumu i ka pilina no ka manawa lōʻihi. I ka makahiki 1998, ua loaʻa iā lāua he keikikāne, a i ka makahiki 2004 ua hoʻokumu lāua i ka pilina. Ua ʻike ʻia ke keiki a kahi makua kāne kaulana i ka lehulehu ʻo DJ Slade. Haʻaheo loa ka makua kāne a me ka makuahine iā ia.
ʻAʻole hoʻolaha ka mea hōʻike i kona ola pilikino. Ma ka Pūnaewele, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa nā kiʻi a me nā ʻike wikiō e pili ana i nā hana ʻoihana a i ʻole nā hana aloha o ka hōkū.
