Bounce rap/ Cash Money: Classic or dud?

I'd add unreserved recommendations for Nelly, Ludacris and Mystikal (but only his last album).

cash money should move there market to a wider audiance like the UK you never hear about them in the UK it is masuuve in the US even thought they still sell amillionm records that i think would make them even more better than mos def.

cash money have good songs by the hot boys e.g tuesday and thursday and i need a hot girl i think thought B.G leaving cash money with turk who right now is in prison will loose some fans and juvi i think leavin for a.t.f records his on componey will not do so good for cash money.

overall cash money is relevent to hip hop its new and it should last with new rappers like Mach 10 and TQ and new albums like lil wayne 500 degrees.

Now, someone tell me, should I buy their Platinum Hits best-of album? Or would that just be silly?

there's a new hot boys cd, too. you should download 'my section.' it's got a spooky mannie fresh under-part and deep drums and it bounces and it's pretty good.

there's nothing that sounds consistently like cash money stuff at all. all of the big songs that are supposed to play in clubs or in cars or wherever sound more like no limit stuff now. no limit plus alligators and guns and explosions. like, the same singy rap thing and the melodic thing and all that.

all of the new bounce stuff that i've heard seems to be built around a massive hook. like, the hook goes through the whole thing and people just rap over it every now and then.

in the new xxl lil jon has a thing about how he does his songs. he writes the hook first. like, 'put yo hood up' has no rapping, really. it's a lot of shouting and stuff that's all part of a massive hook.

and the stuff like choppa, where it's mainly singing rhyming stuff. it almost sounds like dancehall, the clicky beat and the singy rapping. 'choppa style' sounds exactly like a dancehall song.

or the bonecrusher 'never scared' one. or the other one, 'crunk in da club.' it's all the singing and the massive hook and the bouncing, clicky beat.

Cheeky Blakk - Twerk Something

Kilo - The Ward Song

^^^ who dat call the police?!

!!!!

^^^ triggaman on that 1200!

the 1986 track that started it all, Drag Rap (Triggerman) [and sync'ing that DMX to the 808, pre-midi]

I feel like I know the sample at the beginning of the trailer from the bounce film (not "Triggaman", the electric piano chords and stuff) from some recent r&b, but I can't pinpoint it.

Rev, I hope you do. Those chord changes are where I'm at today!

This is where I got on board with Bounce (after Ninja Crew/Gregory D & Mannie Fresh in the late 80s, and Bustdown in 1991).

1992: Jimi!

I didn't know about DJ Irv's 1990 original until years later.

"Ha" sounds triumphant in this setting

Kinda wish they gave Trombone Shorty a moment to blow, but glad they didn't give Jon Batiste a melodica solo.

oh fuuuuuuuuuuck, "Slow Motion"
