Bouncin' Back

y'all ain't ready yet for the rap, bouncin' back for the beat. or shake ya ass.

Danger (Been So Long)

i have vivid memories of washing dishes at my first job in '98 and the kid i worked with blasting "That's The Nigga" (aka the clean edit "That's The Rapper") and rapping along all the time, gotta give that the nostalgic vote.

bouncin' back

a while back i thought about doing a Mystikal poll that was just No Limit era vs. Neptunes/post-No Limit era but i guess this works just as good

my fave memory of 'bouncin' back' is seeing the Soul Rebels Brass Band for the first time (in '02) and the dj dropped it right as they finished their set, it was perfect.

One time when I was a teenager my dad was driving me somewhere in his truck and "Shake Ya Ass" came on the radio. Every time the words "Shake Ya Ass" appeared, my dad would reach over and shake me, until I finally did it back to him. Both of us were dying of laughter.

lol.

also bouncin' back has a fake second line in the video.

Remember when music critics totally overplayed this "He sounds like James Brown!" angle?

I think throughout the 80s and 90s the media just got used to constantly propping someone up as the next JB and having them perform with him at some awards show -- Michael Jackson, Hammer, Usher, etc.

well he does sound exactly like james brown!

"bitch ride a dick like she makin a baby!"

impossible to choose

love this track: http://www.imeem.com/mzphattylisious/music/Uhc2ehe5/mystikal_pussy_pop/

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

"Bouncin' Back", but "Been So Long" is massively important to me as well.

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

Shit, how'd I miss this? Would have voted for "Bouncin' Back" w/ "Danger" as my #2 so I guess it's fine.

"Bouncin' Back" is one of the great singles of the decade, IMO - kind of weird and off-kilter and not exactly a song that's touched my heart but the beat is just so great, still startles me to this day, so EMPTY in this way like some of the tracks got deleted at the last minute. And then you have this rap which covers all this great angry, paranoid ground that just happened to line up really well with 9/11 and so on ("Stuck inside, scared, watchin' C-N-N! [...] Tell my friends to call 'cause I ain't acCEPtin' no letters!") etc.

I knew one guy who thought the hook was:

'Til you seen me,
You ain't seen Bounce Attack

and another who thought it was

'Til you seen me,
You ain't seen Busta rap

(The latter thought this song was by Busta Rhymes, which would make this version kind of brilliant.)

ain't that a bitch

This was a rarely OTM poll result but it always disappoints me that "Oooh Yeah" wasn't a single.

I would've voted for Danger.

this poll woulda been way more fun w/ guest verses and collabs, "Neck Uv Da Woodz"/"Stutter"/"Move"/"I Don't Give A Fuck" was a pretty incredible run.

has there ever been a rapper with as many or more hit singles that had as unique/weird of a rapping style?

the last two verses of "danger" are closer to slam poetry (no hooso) than rap

Eminem's style seemed pretty weird and unique when he first came out.

I am really ignorant of post-breakdance era hip hop. But "Danger" and whichever one where he says "watch yourself!" a whole lot really caught my ear when they came out.

damn, tarantula (the album) is really amazing. why isn't this in southern 00s rap canon alongside like, trap muzik & stankonia?

ha, proto-letz talk abt gucci mane in the middle of this thread This is the thread where you can talk about Mystikal

for starters, it was kind of a flop compared to his previous albums. haven't heard it, but i love Let's Get Ready. (xpost)

gonna get to that one soon

damn, tarantula (the album) is really amazing. why isn't this in southern 00s rap canon alongside like, trap muzik & stankonia?

^^^ Definitely. Only realised this when putting together a top 100 albums of the 00s list and thought "this must be on there!!"

i keep meaning to go through the albums, but this might be my favorite hits comp ever:

otm. "Pussy Crook" has such a groove to it. I rate this album jut slightly under Let's Get Ready.

also I didn't vote in this but I woulda voted for Bouncin' Back so otm ILX!

My is "Shake Ya Ass" underrated here? That is one of my favorite songs ever.

just cuz of the tough competition. "Shake Ya Ass" is a classic, also one of the best Neptunes beats evar

i'll cop to being indifferent to "Shake Ya Ass." it's cool, but i feel kinda like i never need to hear it again.

i def think "danger" & "bouncin back" are >>>>

Bouncin' Back is the best. everything about it.

i def think "danger" & "bouncin back" are >>>>
