this shit is flames!! bringing back that cybotron shit. My sources say this will be big.
Oh well. Off topic I guess, I just cant ever pass up a chance to praise Uncle Luke.
I smoked a doobie with Shy-D in the Skyywalker Studio parking lot. Mike Fresh rolled it.
The real title of this thread should read "Will bass music blow up IN NEW YORK just like crunk shit did?" Because NYers were the only people that weren't on the shit in the heyday, but insist on their 20/20 hindsight.
That track is hot, but it's an anachronism... seemed like bass started to die around the time Master P blew up. Now the dudes that are still around from that era are all doing crunk. I've been thinking that doing a throwback bass tribute track would be a good idea for Ludacris for a few years now.
There are a few good songs on local radio as of late: Got It Sewed Up by Mike Jones being my current favorite, supplemented by Trillville's Some Cut, TI's You Don't Know Me (this was a hit in the ATL at Thanksgiving), Ying Yang's Wait, and the big-hit-of-the-moment here in Austin right now Akon's Lonely.
Get past all of the 50 Cent worship and that's not a bad little line-up.
"Some Cut" is still making noise? That and "You Don't Know" seemed to be the biggest records when I was down in Atlanta over Christmas.
Some Cut is one of those records that seems tailor-made for Austin audiences. It will still be getting play a year from now. And I'm not mad at that at all.
Yeah, I really like that record too.

Invented instrumental hip-hop
Yes.

As a DJ in Louisiana starting out in the early 90's, MC Shy-D
gets much love.
"Shake It" is a straight up anthem. I have rocked every kind of crowd
you can fathom with that cut. Mixed it into Smokey Johnson
at a Mardi Gras ball this year, and all the 30-sumpthin upwardly-
mobile, downtown-dwellin' white folkkks EXPLODED.
Miami Bass never died around here. In fact, KJ and Da Fellas
are playing at some strip club here this weekend.
Get Retarted!!!!
Man, the first time I heard "Some Cut" on the radio it was Nov/Dec, it was the mixshow live from The Supper Clubb and the deejay started cutting the record in and out for the crowd to chant along to it... but he was met by silence. The host started going "they don't know that one yet man, they don't know that one"
But obviously its gotten really big here recently. "U Don't Know Me" got really huge recently too
I really look forward to hearing "Sittin Sidewayz" on the mixshow though... that is my SHIT for real
But yeah, um... Pretty Tony
I also like to do my own thing like "IIIIIIIIIII SAID D! I SAID D-I! I SAID D-I-Z-Z-YYYYYYYYY" yeah.
Geaux West Bank!
In florida it would kind of be a joke... everybody still remembers miami bass / electro too well. It never went away. Every guy was cutting records with titles like "2 titties and a dick" trying to get a hit with bass & nasty lyrics cut a la luke. In fact it's hard to find good hip-hop collections because they're 99% luke and magic mike productions.
And seriously, Booty Bass is on some free-love-ebony-n-ivory steez
fo realla tortilla.

I just have two 12"s by them but they are nuts
There is a lot of electro/bass stuff out nowadays.. most of what I know is kinda outside the center of that genre (i.e. "hipsterized"):
Ciara: "1,2 Step"
A lot of Missy's past stuff
Swami: "Desi Rock"
Baile funk stuff from Brazil
M.I.A.: "Bucky Done Gun"
Fannypack
etc.
I DJ'd a night with some guys who do a regular gig at a local bistro last month. One dude is Greek, one is German, one was American. I brought mostly vintage disco & electro, but those dudes played almost strictly electro stuff, albeit less on the south/dirty side and more on the euro/techno side.
Certainly electro has a limited visibility in the mainstream. But in the clubs, has electro ever really fallen out of favor?
HELL NAW!!
For me, electro(Bass Music, really), is always the go-to genre
when things aint poppin' on the dancefloor. Euro's dig it
cause it has techno elements, Yanks dig it 'cause it talks about
bonin', all bases covered.
Look out for their LP, Marco--it's really good and you should be able to get it cheap. Like $3 cheap.
Send all raers to Salary Diz plaese.
Finding bass out here isn't impossible, but not nearly as easy as i bet it is out in FLA.
The sucky thing is, Luke and Magic Mike get me amped, but I cant dance to anything that fast, so I wind up doing a weird headbanging, bouncing, charlseton type thing that doesn't really work. All in the comfort of my own home of course. and also while drinking.
There's a downtempo cut on Magic Mike's 1991 Ain't No Doubt About It LP called "Slow Draggin'" that always makes me think "This is exactly what all those Mo' Wax dudes were aiming for except it's not boring."
Same goes for Dynamix II's Purple Beats.
A - you should be a step ahead then. There's certainly records in those collections that are or will be valuable.
Its funny, because if I came up on a few boxes of that shit I would be stoked, but I bet after a few years in florida its like "enough already".....
"Every guy was cutting records with titles like "2 titties and a dick" trying to get a hit with bass & nasty lyrics cut a la luke. "
Why do I get the feeling that would never get old to me?
