Despite his eccentric style, Lil Jon is considered one of the smartest men in hip hop. He used his "crunk" style to his advantage and he dominated the charts for three years consecutively. Along the way, he helped revive E-40's career and reintroduce Too $hort.

Lil Jon was successful because he was willing to work outside of the box. While most rappers were focusing on clothing lines and shoe deals, Lil Jon was focused on Crunk Juice. He took his label, BME, to the top, but he did it with an independent distributor.

Along the way, Lil Jon also got into the movie business. But, he was not doing movies like most rappers. Instead, Lil Jon focused on doing porno flicks. These films were major successes and he wanted to put more together, as he is preparing his reintroduction to the game. But, his role on Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" has Lil Jon re-thinking his image.

For years, Lil Jon has been rugged with his image and now he is trying to tone things down. Currently, major corporate big-wigs are scouting Lil Jon because of his Trump connections. Because of this, Lil Jon is making himself look as professional as possible. The first move the Atlanta producer made was getting rid of his film ventures. Despite producing the Club Lil Jon flick, Lil Jon has cut all ties with the video and he has refused to promote it. The film company, however, will continue to promote it.

Nearly a decade ago, Lil Jon rose from seemingly nowhere to take over the rap game. T.I. had labeled himself the King of the South and teamed up with Lil Jon. Jon was also from Atlanta and he also called himself a king. For those who remember, Lil Jon was the King of Crunk.

Lil Jon had grown so popular he had his own line of drink, which was called 'Crunk Juice.' The Atlanta producer had risen to become a force in the game. He signed E-40 and helped him rise to mainstream fame for the first time in his fifteen year career. But, his 2006 run would prove to be his last.

It was not until Donald Trump called on Lil Jon did most fans realize the game had been missing something. Most of the post-2006 songs on the radio were lacking Lil Jon's trademark sounds of "WHAT!" and "OK!" Lil Jon turned heads on Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" series because of his sharp business acumen.

Many failed to realize how skilled of a businessman Lil Jon actually is. While wearing the goofy clothes and making outrageous sounds, Lil Jon was making an incredible amount of money. Most of his profits went back into his BME label, which had several artists signed under him. Lil Jon used the same business tactics for "Celebrity Apprentice" and did well in the contest. His team recently won and Lil Jon pocketed a total of $40,000 for being a part of the team.

Already rich, Lil Jon took these earnings and donated them to a children's home in Decatur, Georgia.
