Bounce music is an energetic style of New Orleans hip hop music which is said to have originated as early as the late 1980s.[2]
Structure
Bounce is characterized by call-and-response-style party and Mardi Gras Indian chants and dance call-outs that are frequently hypersexual. These chants and call-outs are typically sung over the "Triggerman beat" which is sampled from the songs "Drag Rap" by the Showboys, "Brown Beat" by Cameron Paul, and also Derek B's "Rock The Beat".[3] The sound of bounce has primarily been shaped by the recycling and imitation of the "Drag Rap" sample: its opening chromatic tics, the intermittent shouting of the word "break," the use of whistling as an instrumental element (as occurs in the bridge), the vocoded "drag rap" vocal and its brief and repetitive melody and quick beat (which were produced with use of synthesizers and drum machines and are easily sampled or reproduced using like-sounding elements).[4] Typical of bounce music is the "shouting out" of or acknowledgment of geographical areas, neighborhoods and housing projects, particularly of the New Orleans area.[5]
History
Bounce music came from the rhythms of a beat called "Triggaman" from The Queens, New York group The Showboys. The Triggman beat sampled from the 12" single "Drag Rap" on Profile Records. The song became a hugely popular DJ spin in New Orleans and will become a major signature sample of New Orleans bounce. Bounce music became popular in 1991 due to Dj jimi song "Where they at" and "its Jimi". In 1993 Times-Picayune music writer Scott Aiges writes two cover stories for the weekend "Lagniappe" section on local rap and the emergence of bounce. That same year DJ Jubilee hit single "Jubliee all" became popular. The song would become one of New Orleans biggest bonce song in history and would also be the first song the word Twerk was used in. [6] Bounce music is often played at block parties in New Orleans specifically in the housing projects which was where it was originated.[7]
