Lil Jon Crunk With MTV Newlywed

Lil Jon is currently one of hip hop’s most sought after producers and now, he’s becoming a wanted man in the world of pop music. The King of Crunk is expanding his musical touch, branching out of hip hop and is set to collaborate with pop princess Jessica Simpson.

"I was doing a remix for [Simpson's 'These Boots Are Made for Walkin'], and when I did the beat, I was like, 'This beat is too hot for a remix,'” he told MTV.com. "I sent the beat to her and they liked it for her album.

In addition to Simpson, Lil Jon is also reworking a Madonna (yes, Madonna, of “Like a Virgin” fame) track for Hillary Duff.

“Hilary Duff, we did a song for a soundtrack. She has the 'Material Girl' movie coming out and we redid [Madonna's] 'Material Girl.'"

Fans of Lil Jon need not worry about him straying too far from his roots. Look for new albums by BME artists, Trillville, E-40, Lil Scrappy and newcomer Bohagen. According to MTV.com, he is also scheduled to contribute tracks for new projects from Ice Cube and Too Short.

Biography of Madonna
Madonna was born on the 16th of August 1958 in Rochester, Michigan, USA. Her family lived in Pontiac, Michigan at the time, but were visiting grandmother in Bay City when Madonna decided to appear in the world. She was christened Madonna Louise Ciccone, but her family used to called her 'Little Nonni'. When she was only five years old the mother she loved died of breast cancer. Madonna talks: "One of the hardest thing I've faced in my life was the death of my mother and that's something I really haven't got over to this day." Madonna learnt to be strong and independent early in life and she carries a clear memory of her mother's courage: "She tried to keep her fear deep down inside and not let us know - she never complained".

When the mother died the Ciccone family was torn apart. Madonna and her brothers and sisters were sent to live with various relatives until, after a couple of years to Madonna's horror, her father Tony married their housekeeper Joan Gustafson- a real disciplinarian. Her father insisted that the children have to call his new wife 'mother' but Madonna found that very hard to do. In fact, she never called Joan mother. Madonna was the oldest girl of eight children and that is the reason she caught most of the responsibility. Madonna remembers: "As the oldest girl in my family, I felt like all my adolescence was spent taking care of babies. I think that's when I really thought about how I wanted to get away from all that. I saw myself as the quintessential Cinderella." And about his father Madonna says: "If we didn't have school homework then father find us something do to around the house - he was very adamant about us being productive." And also, "If my father hadn't been so strict I wouldn't be who I am today."

Quotes:
"I came to the realization that a strong female is frightening to everybody, because all societies are male-dominated--black societies, poor people, rich people, any racial group; they're all dominated by men. A strong female is going to threaten everybody across the board...I know the majority of Americans think I walk around my house [with] jodhpurs on and a whip...that I eat men for breakfast and send out my limousine driver to pick up bushels of young men and women, and I let everybody else make my business decisions for me. Even really successful, intelligent men are so fucking scared of me and buy into the hype." --Spin, January 1996

"I'm not going to compromise my artistic integrity."

"I don't trust any man who hasn't kissed another man."
