Walk It Out

there's way too many actual songs w/ snap drums for them to be reaching with "Shoulder Lean" and "Walk It Out."

walk it out is a big snap dance song, who gives a fuck if theres no "snap drums"

snap drums is something you do, snap dance is something you live

yeah, I realize it's more about the dance but I still ID the songs more by actual snap percussion sounds.

would you say that the Collipark whisper song/"Play" snap tracks that predate 'snap music' as a genre count y/n

first time i ever really noticed snap was 'betcha cant do it like me' late 04 & saw d4l do it at club chocolate in feb 05, pre-whisper/play

wait def counts as snap though yeah

k-rab dissed collipark for that actually

I mean Ying Yang even kinda did an ancestral version of the snap dance in the "Wait" video! I'm glad DJ Smurf is cashing in on Soulja Boy/Hurricane Chris, he must be mad that the only reason the snap music train passed him by is that the catchiest name he could think of for it was "intimate club music".

(xpost I was hearing "Wait" even up noth in Nov/Dec '04, so my point stands)

K-Rab bills himself as the original "snap music king," a title built on producing "Laffy Taffy," Trap Squad's "What's Happenin'" and his material with BHI (Born Husslers Inc.), "Do It, Do It (Poole Palace)" and "Bubblegum." When asked if Mr. Collipark devised the snap music beat, K-Rab says, "The 'Wait' song was made after a lot of these songs. You got guys like the Ying Yang Twins -- I'm sure they keep their ears to the street because we see them in the street all the time. They know what's going on. They go to the club, we do shows at the club, we might even open up for them. Then here comes the song 'Wait,' and it got snaps in it. OK, so you guys already famous, so you can claim it?

i meant up north, not up Noth

what about "white tee"

does "it's goin down" even have any drums beside that huge bass thump during the chorus?

oh that drippy thing?

I guess "White Tee" was one of the first mainstream videos that had the dancing in, but again I'm really focused on the sound and the drums don't really snap like that. Honestly I think Franchize and K-Rab and Collipark all use snaps kinda differently and probably came upon their own approaches independently, it's not like snaps weren't pretty commonplace in Southern production for years before that, they just weren't used in place of snares/claps much until that point.

"i think they like me" too

Naw, "I Think They Like Me" didn't hit (nationally at least) until after "White Tee" and "Wait", probably not 'til after "Laffy Taffy" or "Play", either.

I go for "Betcha Can't Do It Like Me". I like this stuff as minimalist as it gets.

Ethan, you wouldn't be able to send me this, would you? Oh, and what do you think about "Vans"?

(I guess that second question can be more general addressed.)

dont have on mp3 sorry

when i get home i'll post a mix i did about a year ago that has some of these joints

vans is aite for pre-ttttotally dude rocknroll joke rap but it never really hit here

"Bubblegum" is the jam.

Also, "Vans" is ultimate trumps card.

Dem Franchize Boyz are an American hip hop group from Atlanta signed to So So Def Records. The group comprises four members: Gerald Tiller (a.k.a. Buddie, born 1983), Maurice Gleaton (a.k.a. Parlae, born 1983), Jamal Willingham (a.k.a. Pimpin, born 1984), and Bernard Leverette (a.k.a. Jizzal Man, born 1983). They debuted with the poverty-stricken urban anthem "White Tee"

Sorry, Jordan, but not as good as Camp Lo and their "dadaist slang".

i tried.

Like Zürich, New York was a refuge for rappers and artists from World War I. Soon after arriving from France in 1915, Geechi Suede and Sonny Cheeba met American artist Man Ray. By 1916 the three of them became the center of radical anti-art activities in the United States. American Beatrice Wood, who had been studying in France, soon joined them. Much of their activity centered in Alfred Stieglitz's gallery, 291, and the home of Walter and Louise Arensberg.

hopefully v. soon

Fuck you dearly, am0n. What I really needed first thing in the morning was to get goatsed.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

ilx stunningly votes for the biggest hit

I wouldn't say "It's Goin' Down" was a significantly bigger hit than "Snap Yo Fingers" or "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It" or "Shoulder Lean," if it even was bigger than all of those songs at all.

"it's goin down" went #1

plus it's awesome

The only charts it went #1 on were the R&B/hip hop charts, and "Shoulder Lean" and "Snap Yo Fingers" did the same thing.

hm yeah youre right.
i thought it went #1 on the hot 100.
it's goin down went #3, shoulder lean #10 and snap yo fingers #7, but at that point what's the diff.

just ordered this for a dollar.

other recs welcomed.

Bo-Hagon f. Diamond & Princess of Crime Mob & Fabo of D4L - Whut's Han'n?
