I started listening to Bounce music about two years ago and, over the past couple years, have acquired a pretty extensive collection of CDs, MP3s, and records of this really rich music. For those unfamiliar with Bounce, it is a fairly unique strain of club-oriented hip-hop that originated in New Orleans sometime around 1991 with MC TT Tucker’s “”Where Dey At.”” Almost 20 years later, Bounce still dominates the urban club and block party scene in New Orleans with very little major label backing. Just as Baltimore Club is based on the Lyn Collins’ “Think” break and the Gaz “Sing Sing” break, Bounce beats are based on samples from The Showboy’s “Drag Rap” (aka “Triggerman”) and Derek B’s “Rock The Beat” drum break (more commonly known as “the Brown Beat”). The best club music seems almost always to thrive on calculated simplicity, and Bounce is no exception, relying on MC work that is based on simple call and response chants, straightforward rhyme schemes/patterns, and repetitive dance refrains. My buddy Noz has helped me learn a lot about this music and several years ago (right after Katrina), he put together a really great collection of earlier Bounce songs that you can download here. Also, the first podcast on New Orleans rap has got some good stuff on it as well.

In contrast to Noz’s collection of songs, I made my mix as an effort to put people onto some more recent New Orleans Bounce songs and artists that they likely aren’t very familiar with. As you’ll notice pretty quickly, I’ve kept the mixing and DJing to a real minimum and tried to move pretty quickly from song to song to fit in as much stuff is possible. There isn’t a real rhyme or reason for most of the selections on here. They’re mostly just a bunch of Bounce songs I really like, and I’m hoping some of y’all will enjoy this stuff enough to go and support some of these artists. I’ve provided links wherever possible to help make that search as easy as I could because a lot of these folks have a pretty strong presence on Myspace. Please hit these dudes up on their Myspace, support their events, and buy whatever you can from them.

Ok, so this is a few weeks old now. But if you are a dj who plays hip-hop and/or classics this is an important mixtape to dl. It’s got 50 rhymin over looped up intros of a lot dj set staples (if you’re from philly or uh… nyc) that could be extremely useful if you are going back and forth from raps to classics etc.

My favorites on the mix are the Prince jawn, Before I Let Go, and Rising to the Top. On other tracks he spits over Heartbreak, Be Thankful, and even a Stevie Wonder joint. In other words- ALL TYPES OF ILL SHIT.

This is a lot of fun, and while he’s not destroying tracks, he still manages to remind me of him back when he was truly nasty.

Jamaica Queens in here!!!!

So yeah, I listen to a bunch bullshit waiting for new Jeezy material but this is the one. You know, the one that actually has some tracks from the upcoming album. It’s heat and my mans that’s known for stickin’ to the script did just that. It’s only 12 tracks, so you won’t be skipping through lot of guest verses with up and coming rnb youngs and lils. I been waiting for this. Some highlights:

“passengers a red bone, her weave look like some curly fries,
insides fish sticks, outside tartar sauce,
pocket full of celery, imagine what she telling me,
blowing on asparagus, realest shit I ever smoked,
riding to that trap or die, the realest shit I ever wrote,
they know I got that broccoli, so I keep that glock on me…”

Hungry? I mean we heard the food metaphors before, but this has to be the first time someone made hair weave appealing by comparing it to some curly fries. Don’t worry Jeezy, I’M RIDING!!!!!

But yeah, Jeezy is funny at times but mostly he’s just killing it.

GRAB THAT YOUNG JEEZY “PRIME MINISTER” MIXTAPE

This is a couple years old, but obviously its a timeless mix. This guy is my GOAT, so I tried to put my favorite shit on there and spread my love for him. There isn’t really a theme to it as he is an insanely multi-dimensional artist. But it does have more 70’s shit on it than music from any other era. A lot of people have made Stevie Wonder tapes that focused on his more obscure stuff but this is mostly obvious. There is even some scratching on there. Can’t beat that. All vinyl mix cuz I’m real like that.

GRAB THAT ISH HERE!!!

PS- PARTIES ARE GOING DOWN THIS WEEKEND FOLKS!

Linked below is a pretty thorough mix of Philly rap that Bo and I did that reaches from Cool C and the Tuff Crew, through the State Property and Roc years, all the way up to new-comers like Joey Jihad and Meek Millz. We completed this about two years ago so there isn’t much new stuff, and it’s really impossible to be exhaustive when making mixes like this–you’re bound to leave someone disappointed with what’s been included and what’s been excluded. But, that being said, since we never wound up doing anything with this mix and we’re both still really happy with it, we figured we might as well post it on the internets for the world to download.

Big shout outs to Cosmo Baker who was a big influence on this mix (he was the reason we put “40 Barz” up on this ish). I know he’s been talking about working on a Philly rap mix of his own for several years now and Lord knows if he ever completes it, it’ll be light-years better than this one. Hopefully you’ll enjoy this though. By the way, yes, we know the Krown Rulers are from Camden.

Philly, stand up!
