I Bet You Won't Get Crunk! analyzes Atlanta's hip-hop party culture framed through Atlanta's history of aggressively surveilling and silencing black youth. In response to this history, Atlanta's black youth created party cultures and music that explicitly focused on being loud and taking up space, manifesting a kind of resistance through performance/participation. Kevin C. Holt offers an interdisciplinary exploration of performance and meaning in Atlanta hip-hop, specifically regarding the city's first hip-hop generation.
