This is an exclusive interview I conducted with Orville “Bugs Can Can” Hall and Phil “Triggaman” Price of the legendary rap group The Showboys. They talk about the history of Bounce Music, Drake sampling their music, 50 cent before the fame, Irv Gotti, Beastie Boys, Run-D.M.C. and Jam Master Jay etc..

[@justincarr8178]

I am from the U.K and I have loved and studied Hip Hop since the early 80s.I remember when this came out an I loved it and had a copy of it on Profile Records.Then when Southern Hip Hop trickled across here I remember hearing all the tracks using the bonus beats off TriggaMan thinking "What?How is this tune still so big out there ".Ace

[@therealflamelit]

then you should know that DEREK B(RIP) had a lot to do with Bounce music too

[@justincarr8178]

Hold This L. Debarge I remember Deric B from his time on the Music Of Life.(and I remember seeing him live,he was supporting someone from the U.S but I cant remember who)He was the biggest UK Hip Hop artist for a while.But I am not aware of his connection to Bounce music

[@therealflamelit]

Justin Carr the stabs and breakbeat in His rock the Beat song have been also heavily sampled in Bounce

TBH them niggas gave the direction to and gave rise to the south music,whether you call it buk ,crunk, bounce all of that shit was inspired by bucks nem 1 song triggaman..And I'm down south nigga! And to this day the south ain't really deviated from the formula! That's why the south winning right now! Them boys came up with some original shit that was alien to NYC that's why it didn't catch on there,the south recognized it..They were ahead of their time.

Get your money showboys......born and raised in New Orleans I can tell you there's money on the table....I know nothing is like home being a person that relocated after Katrina but to have you all in New Orleans pushing that bounce sound I'm sure every label owner and producer of bounce music will be crawling over each other for the opportunity to work with the true originators of the genre

[@xoacatl]

Brother mane you reached out for this one! The Showboys are a dirty south hip hip history! If you dont believe me just play triggerman at any party in Memphis! I dont care what age group it is everbody gets on code with that one!

[@TheKaluha88]

Actually, LL was the first to release a record for Def Jam in 84. I Need a Beat was recorded and released in 84. I still have the original 12 inch of that record I bought as a 15 year old kid. I’ve always been a hip hop fanatic. I also have the original copy from 85 of the Hollis Crew. I had to cop their record on the strength of Run Dmc shouting them out on their songs. Also Hollis crew and Jimmy Spicer released the same year in 85. Jimmy Spicer record is called This Is It and Beat the Clock. Info Minds, dope interview. Thank you for shining light on the Showboys because they deserve it and much more. Shout out to the Hollis Crew and all of Queens. Oh yeah we most certainly can’t forget about the legendary Live Squad. Shout out to Maj. peace info minds.

[@justincarr8178]

Also in the mid 80s there was a DJ called Mike Allen.He did a weekly 2 hour Hip Hop radio show that was syndicated all over the country (for most of the country outside of London,Manchester, Birmingham &Bristol where there were pirate stations it was the only place where you could hear any Hip Hop ) on a Sunday night.It was essential listening(and taping) for all the B Boys.Drag Rap /Triggaman was a massive tune on that show for weeks.That was where I first heard it.

Got my blunts ready another great chapter buzzo#

[@MidTierVillain]

It wasn’t Lil Jon, it was Triple Six Mafia “Tear Da Club Up”. I live in a Memphis, and lived through that era too.. Bruh Memphis did NOT get Tear Da Club Up from New Orleans.. 3-6 Mafia came up with that because everybody(dope boys & rappers) had clubs in every part of the city, and Shake Junts(stripe clubs).. along with that there was a lot of killings, shootings, and fights in clubs due to certain songs that were for certain parts of the city.. North Memphis, South Memphis, Orange Mound, Black Haven, 3rd World, etc.. they would get to fighting, and shooting in the clubs.. you think Memphis niggas went to New Orleans and saw that? Hell naw, it was here already.. why even say that? When New Orleans was known for bounce on some 2Live Crew type of vibe.. same with ATL.. we wasn’t on that, we had Gangsta Walking, and Buck’n, Jook’n.. the strippers had the bounce tho in the clubs..

[@deeleoking8084]

[@gwayne74]

Um from Memphis an D.J. Paul an Lord Infamous(R.I.P.) are my 2 second cousins an the Show Boyz came to a club called No Name an thats when there era of the gangsta walk began. An Memphis had more heat back then than ATL could ever come with. ATL stole alot of out shit cuz of Freaknik. All ATL had was booty shaking music.

Sorry :-) The Hollis Crew came out with "It's The Beat" in (1985) the first Def Jam Release was LL Cool J - I need A Beat (1984)

So basically the New Orleans and Atl beef been going on for years. Its a weird animosity between the 2 cities lol.

It was just P and Pastor Troy had a issue, and Saints fans and Falcons fans always going at it. But other than that, N.O. got love for ATL and vice versa. Its all love lol

[@jpswerve182]

profile records did them dirty as usual in this business. They collected royalties from all of the sampling but never gave them the money

[@stickshiftdriver1832]

Great song. How was this song written in 1984 but Dougie Fresh's The Show and La Di Da Di did not come out until 1985 which were story telling wraps?

[@DionsCartoons]

Learned alot of hip hop history here

[@Chris-zt5nh]

Quality site I love it much respect

[@stickshiftdriver1832]

I think that the reason that the song disappeared after a few months is because the threat that this song was going to cause violence especially during concerts. Run DMC was under the radar in the middle 80's because of gang violence happening at some of their's and other rapper's concerts especially around 1985. This song, eventhough spoofy, mention guns and violence when groups like Run DMC stayed away from mentioning guns in their rap songs

It's debatable whether It's The Beat is the 1st Dec Jam.The catalogue number is DJ 007 there were 6 tracks out before that.L.L Cool J "I need a beat " being the 1st (DJ001 ) and even before that TLA Rock "Its Yours " was a co release between Party Time & Def Jam records. (I am being polite it's no debatable it's flat out wrong)

[@GeeMoney843]

I agree. Russell was probably mad at Run for signing to Priority and gave his beat away. They probably recorded it first but when u have LL and T la Rock ready to be pressed up to vinyl "Its the beat" becomes #7.
