Summary:

In the early 2000s, Atlanta was solidified as a node of US hip-hop, spearheading a Southern hip-hop boom that would define hip-hop of the 21st century. Crunk, its signature hip-hop subgenre at the time, came to represent the city's stylistic and performative intervention on the national hip-hop scene. 'I Bet You Won't Get Crunk!' analyses Atlanta's hip-hop party culture framed through Atlanta's history of aggressively surveilling and silencing black youth. In response to patterns of targeted policing, Atlanta's black youth created party cultures and music that explicitly focused on being loud and taking up space, yielding a kind of resistance through performance and participation
