Lil Wayne in his Montreal TV interview say Queens New York is New Orleans. Real shit I agree I am from Houston & New York is the South. Now the South has pull over NY but NY started it all.
On the cool these dudes are lowkey New Orleans celebrity and hood royalty Shout out to the Showboys Triggerman IS the heart of hip hop New Orleans!! Plus Cameron Paul "Brown Beat" is the heartbeat of the NOLA streets.... Real talk other people sampled that jawn after New Orleans put it all the way on the map...but aint do it like us.
As a 38 year old from PA who has been listening to southern rap as far back as I can remember, and only learned about this beat very recently, this is one of the most fascinating stories I’ve heard. Forget just New Orleans, y’all are game-wide rap royalty. Much respect.
NEW AWLINS BOUT IT TO THE FORE FRONT.WHEN SHOWBOYS DROPPED THE RECORD IN “86”,THINK ABOUT WHO WAS CONTROLLING HIP HOP (NYC).THE RECORD WASNT A HIT TILL LIKE “90” WHEN T.T TUCKER AND D.J IRV SAMPLED THE RECORD FOR WHERE DEY AT,WHICH WAS THE BIRTH OF BOUNCE DOWN YERE AND THE REST IS HIS/HER STORY.GO ON RU-vid & PULL UP EVERLASTING HITMAN,DADDY-YO,MS.TEE,PIMP DADDY,UNLV,D.J JIMI,D.J JUBILEE,MAGNOLIA SLIM,JUVENILE (BOUNCE FOR THE JUVENILE)THATS JUST SOME OF E.M.OH CAN’T FORGET B.G DISSED MYSTIKAL WITH A TRIGGA MAN BEAT ALSO.CHEEKY BLACK,LIL ELT (GIT THE GAT) LIL SLIM TOO BRO
I remember when Drag Rap was released in the early or mid nineteen eighties. The song was and is a Hip Hop gem. Listen to the lyrics carefully, and you'll hear a strong story about organized gangsters and references to FBI agent Elliot Ness. It's amazing how the song is making more noise now than it did when it originally dropped.
@@bergytc24 right on...but looks like you said they are the orginators of bounce....they never even knew about bounce until we turned that shit into bounce....see what Im saying?
@@videosurfah Yeah but I meant the groove so they essentially made the beat that gave life to the New Orleans genre! I know who T Tucker is and everything!
Brothers, that sample was used in 1991 with tt tucker & dj Irvine where dey at. Long before Manny fresh, big freeda or drake !!! Your song was awesome, but tucker & irv made the bounce concept.
this is beautiful. i love you guys so much. i've been in love with new orleans culture and it's contribution to hip hop since i was a child and you guys play a huge roll in that. blessings to you brothas
Sir with all do respect, TT Tucker and DJ Jimmie was BEFORE Mannie and Big Freedia. Thanks for allowing us to TWERK with dat Triggerman Beat in the late 80's😁
Mind blowing how Oriv says this beat became some what sort of the foundation of NO Bounce Music & Lil Wayne in his Montreal TV interview says Drag Rap is the foundation of NO Bounce. He says Queens NY is NO
Actually, the Artists that made it explode in New orleans would have been DJ Jimi & T. Tucker, both releasing their own versions of the song "Where they at", using this record as the backbone of each. This was like in 1990..or 91'. Waaaaay before that Mannie Fresh story in 95'. Both versions of the song 'Where they at', are considered the foundational roots of New Orleans Bounce music....along with Cameron Paul's 'Brown Beats'.
mannnie was using that beat long before 95. they were all using it around the same time. listen to early cash money records from 92/93. and mannie was already a bounce pioneer even before that.
TT Tucker made that beat and that saying where dey at popular in N.O. before anybody on a nightclub recording.1st on the radio.everything else came soon after,but still after.If yo listen to Tucker now it might sound crazy but you had to be around.It was playing everywhere that had speakers
I was asking what year the original group came out where they were from and what happen to them so this was a real blessing thankz ShowBoys to clear all the answers.
C2k Ent. The first thing any producer would have to do b4 a lawsuit is present their composition without any samples of any other published record. Unless he can do that he cannot sue.
When I first heard this it was on a Mr Majic Compilation Album. To this day I still bumo this song. It has been used in so many songs over the years it's incredible. This was a timeless beat and the rap over the beat was incredible as well. CLASSIC!!!
Drag rap was my moma favourite song when she was pregnant with me in 1988 people still call me triggaman i got n alot of trouble jus cuz of da name at school "triggaman did it" i didn't hear da song until 2001
They really didn’t get the props they deserved everybody use their music hip hop pioneers never seen them on Rap City 🌃 or Yo MTV Raps much respect which they had a video back in 86”.
I remember hearing this in 86 I was living in the 6th ward, shot out to the Show Boys for creating this tracking definitely built the rap scene in the City, I'm bout to be 42 and it's still used to this day, check out We Outside by Tru M Eleven
How I pray to God they post so much Orv being the OG he is & Triggs being the G & DJ he has always been. How I pray there would be so much more about them. They are truly hidden 💎'$$ Hollis Queens always been nothing but love & friendly. I met Triggs sister Lay here in the H with the Blacked out Range true story. She had all the pictures & stories about Queens Holis to be exact.
Mannie Fresh just took it and put some straight magical touches on it and brought us some fire ass straight live ass bangers using This Triggaman Drag Rap beat. When Mannie Fresh placed his very talented touches to it UNLV's - Drag Em From The River was birthed and changed the game up. Mystikal even did an interview on RU-vid with Heit The Great saying how fire that track was and still is and called it a timeless classic track. Mannie Fresh even sampled Mystikal and used Mystikal in the background of the entire track. He used Mystikal's voice on a track that's dissing Mystikal now that's truly dope and unheard of. The best was so dope they used it once again on Juvenile's hit single. (Set It Off) with the Mystikal sample and all. That's just a dope ass track and beat. UNLV - Drag Em From The River & Juvenile - Set It Off
DJ Jimi used that sample in a song called where they at long before Mannie Fresh did back in 1992. Mannie Fresh was just mimicking what DJ Jimi was doing.
Did they put the pack out yet? I am a Christian Hip-Hop Artist out of New Orleans and my music has some influences from this record which we labeled as New Orleans Bounce. With that being said, I use this record in some of the music that I produce and I would love to reach out to them and have their permission to use it the proper way. If not, do you have a contact on them so that I could reach out to them and ask them for their permission.
I love this record. One question that I have to ask is you had mentioned that you lhad made this record in 1984. You had gotten your story telling from and beat box sound from Dougie Fresh and Ricky D song "The Show". The Show didn't come out until middle of 1985. How did you write this a year earlier
It's like a 1 or 2 bar loop. And what many southern producers/DJs don't tell you is that they all had to sample from New York rap beats because they didn't have a sound of their own. LMAO!!!
Don't make this into some East Coast vs Down South bullshit dude. Those same producers/ dee jays you're braggin about from New York didn't tell you they sampled a lot of southern artists' soul and blues records to make those 1 or 2 bar loops and sequenced kicks, snares and vocal riffs too, using either an sp12, fairlight or cheap, short seconds sampling rack-mount trigger units.
@@drfangaz-pronouncedlikefan4019 U made a good point. I actually happen to like 3 6 Mafia, Cash Money, No Limit and UGK and the southern 60s/70s soul blues. But guess what. Mantronix showed early hiphop southern producers how to rock the TR-808 & TR-909. Slow your roll.
@@itsrelativ3967 I'd say only for a few, but it was Afrika Bambaataa & Arthur Baker plus The Egyptian Lover from Southern California for the majority. Kurt inspired southern producers to emulate how he used the sp12 turbo for sampling James Brown drum breaks, it's functions like multi-pitching Tr 808 snares and one shot multi leveling. Another thing I'd like to point out. How could anyone outside of NY reproduce the same type of music if all of the deejays kept everything a secret ( 45's and LP were covered on purpose )? Plus the Hip-hop law was "no biting" allowed. So, if anyone did the same thing you got called out for breaking the law in the culture. Technically, anyone after DJ Hollywood or DJ Kool Herc was biting if they collected the same songs to play at the rec or at the block parties. If any producers used the same drum breaks or scratched the same vocals of instrument riffs, technically that's biting. So why would anyone from NY act funny and diss if no one's production or lingo outside of their city sound like theirs? It's a contradiction. No need to slow up. Don't get uppity.
@@drfangaz-pronouncedlikefan4019 The south all had to sound like acts from NYC to get radio play. 2 Live Crew sounded like Run DMC & Rob Base DJ EZ Rock. Geto Boys sounded like Eric & Rakim with some Kool G Rap. New Orleans bounce producers all sounded like Mantronik with a small dose of SoulSonic Force. Kris Kros had to be like EPMD with a little bit of Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. Other than that, 3 6 Mafia stood out the most. I mean who would of ever thought of pitching samples down and using a 70 to 75 bpm with hypnotic chants, rolled hi-hats, and distorted 808 bass. Yea I may be contradicting myself since 36 Mafia has influenced even what NYC is on today. The point is early on the south had to sound like acts from NYC to get heard. You made your point. I made mines.
U cant sample without permission,Period,and Most of the time u have heard that sound in a beat,it was sampled from their beat...So its the SAME beat,just with pieces added to it...
I remember the showboys drag rap came out 1986 I was 14 93fm wzak Cleveland Ohio use to mix the hell out of this jam then triggerman 2000 love the beatbox mix with the beat drag rap
