Showboyz - "Triggerman 2000"

[llieske]

Ahh yes.... the good old violent roots of hip-hop.

[felineeyes35]

If u play this in the club now in Memphis, everybody running to the floor gangsta walking. It's still hot in Memphis after all these years.

[johnsonricardo80]

My friend it reached the south before 5 or 6 years. I moved from LA to Memphis when I was a teenager back in the eighties. I remember listening to this song on K-97 in 85 in memphis. Now it might didnt reach the west coast till later but we had our own music back then that didnt reach ny till 5 or 6 years later. W-side fo life! know yo history.

[BensonBee]

Drag Rap baby this rugged track was Born in N.Y. PORFILE Records same company and the same guy making RUN-D-MC`S beats. Cameron Paul made this Hot Hot track for Orville Hall (Bugss Can Can) Phill Price aka ( Trigger Man) sorry it took 5 to 6 years to reach the south but hey, there was no internet back then life was slower then. your talking about 1985 86. OLD SCHOOL BABY AND ITS STILL BETTER THAN LIL WAYNES. TRIGGERMAN 2000 WILL BLOW THE ROOF OFF YOUR HOUSE. know ya history 

[BensonBee]

HELL YEA!!! Back n the day i was about 15 when Drag Rap stepped out in the streets philly while my boys slept on this Hot Hot classic. little did they know they where listening to the future of HIP HOP. thats OLD SCHOOL baby.still got the 12 inch and still play it. Wish I was back in promotions cause these Boys need to be doing shows. Buzz Can Can, Trigga Man, and Elloit Ness, when Hip Hop was classy

[xInfectionx3]

Where could i download this at?

[Rholt71]

I sorry I meant to say DJ Jimi was from new Orleans not Memphis, tn

[Rholt71]

This song was originally released in 1985 by the Showboyz who happened to be from New York!!! I still got the original 12 inch record from 1985. I was 14 years old in 1985. Lil Wayne wasn't even born when this song first came out. DJ Jimi from Memphis, tn. Is the reason this song exploded In the south!!! Trust me. Mannie Fresh got the sample "who" from trigger man (drag rap)

[Rholt71]

Whats more interesting about the history of this song is the Showboyz were from New York, but it wasn't well received. The song was a flop in New York in 1985. I'm from Nashville, tn and I remember the song in 1985. A underground radio station at a local college used to spin this song for awhile in 1985. The song was ahead of it's time and it was a precursor to the dirty south sound of today.

[Rholt71]

This is a remake but the original song was called "drag rap" by the showboyz and was released as a 12' inch record only in 1985. The song didn't do well and it quickly fazed out in a few short months. Then it resurfaced in 1990 as a part of the rap masters compilation series. That's when the dirty south dj's got a hold of it. Then DJ Jimi from Memphis, Tn. Sampled it for his now club classic, '"where they at". This song is a dirty south anthem classic.

[Flockaveliaaron]

If you play this song right now in new orleans, people will go.... Banana's.- Lil Wayne

[JohnCousin37]

AM-94 WYLD used to play the shit out of "Drag Rap"! I miss "The Rap Connection Station"!

Brings back the memories of staying up late and watching BET uncut haha on man.

[SLUGOTHEPRINCE]

I just watched that Nardwuar Lil Wayne interview. Heard Weezy say this song

[RachaelBooks]

I just watched that Nardwuar Lil Wayne interview. Heard Weezy say this song makes everyone in New Orleans go off, it's NOLA's song, etc. I barely remember this song! Of course that beat is in a ton of shit... Not saying it wasn't important, just saying I think New Orleans goes off more for DJ Jubilee or Partners N Crime. "New Orleans Block Party" is what's up!!!

[finisher3x]

@RachaelBooks Umm . . you do know that the PNC's "New Orleans Block Party" ( Hot Girl Bounce ) uses this beat . . right? And most of Jubilee's bounce tracks used this beat too.

That's why Wayne said what he said. This song is the basis for just about everything when talking about the New Orleans Bounce soung.

[stephen65la]

[charvez12]

Memphis buckin

[BBooker2]

Jesus they fucked this song up bad. They still sound good lyrically, but they're just rappin about stupid shit like gettin jewels and money, instead of rappin about tying ropes around peoples feet and dragging them to a river. Rap really sucks now...all I gotta hear is one more song about lollipops to confirm it.

[kingmomo010]

[ccperkins21]

NO Bounce music would not have existed without this one song, lol.

[mantagrae]

without this 1 joint? for real??? wow...

[ccperkins21]

Real talk dawg, this triggerman beat is the basis of all New Orleans bounce music. Thats where it originated from.

[hollisprophet]

wow mann....they must get mad love when they come to da N.O...i wonder if they still perform tho

[DDDWHATITDO]

@ccperkins21 MEMPHIS STARTED THIS SONG

[Judahite]

@DDDWHATITDO ................You trippin hard.... T.T Tucker was the first to flip this beat DOWN SOUTH back in 1991!!! Do ya research sargeant, its all ova Youtube jack....like dat dea'

[DDDWHATITDO]

@Judahite did my research and we both right memphis had its version just other cities like new orleans had their bounce version. i luv both.

[Judahite]

@DDDWHATITDO ....no doubt, memphis did they thang, but they wasnt flippin this in 91 pimpin....thats all Im sayin... If you can find one memphis rapper with a song to this beat b4 1991...post the link ya heard me........ps. much luv to m-town though...

[azoe3upt]

@ccperkins21 U SUER BOUT THAT!

[M4RC14N0]

this song is so funny because its horrible

[LilM0]

Damn they fucked up a classic. :(

[LahgikLyfe]

wow even though this is the original song for this beat, its still hard to listen to it without thinking of it as a bounce song.

504 all day, hum bruh!

[CrunkHyphy]

actually the show boyz were from new york. bu for some reason the song only took off in memphis and new orleans and oklahoma

[BHBSTL]

I read that in a Scratch Magazine article!! They're originally from Queens!

[thisishonsysaccount]

I'm a lil comfused r the Show Boyz from Memphis or New Orleans, cuz both citys sample the beat heavily, and bounce music beats are comprised of samples from the OG version of this song??

[BHBSTL]

Neither nor, they're from Queens, NY! After the original "Drag Rap" or "Triggerman" however you wanna call it flopped in NY, it made it's way down to the cities of Memphis and New Orleans and from there spawned movements from each city (N.O.: Bounce, Memphis: Crunk)

[blacmob]

somebody please post the original!

memphis and new orleans been makin gutta musik 4 so long... this brings back alotta memories... i remember standin outside of club 380 cuz i was 2 young 2 get in..lol

[AdorzAaliyahSince94]

wow, this brought back MAJOR MEMORIES... anybody here remember how wild the Trigger Man dance was? you literally had to get out of that person's way or you'd get knocked over by a whole line of ppl doin that dance.. I didn't know they did an update to this song! DJ Spanish fly 'a worrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd!" boy, I had so many of his mixtapes back in 91 and 92 when we 1st heard this song! There used to be a gangsta walk for every hood in Memphis, back then too! the memories~!

[Gypgy5]

Oh I Miss New Orleans , Old Flash Back Oh This Shit Goes Way back!:O

[BeYouBeTru]

Yes I do remember this tune from a mix cd from the N O. Do u know if the mix is on UTube?

[beraquesso]

I remember seeing this on Uncut back in the day. Even have some videos on tape.

[VIKILLER2]

yeah i remember recording this off bet uncut back in 2000

[Supadave7]

Bugs Can-Can and Phil D "Triggaman" AKA The "Showboys" are from New York. But the original never took off in NY. However, down south in Memphis & New Orleans it became instant classic. It influenced bounce in the N.O. and the foundation of Gangsta Walk music.

[undagroundtv]

Dude Super Dave is correct 100%. Yo my name is LC and I produced and directed this video.

[10toesdown]

Dig dat... Who is the cat doing the dancing in this vid?

You ever thought about putting some of that old UGTV footage online?

[sn8keeyez]

It definately influenced bounce music.  u could evidently see that every early bounce song sampled it, but i would have to say dj spanish fly had more of an influence on buck/gangsta walk music than the showboys

[lpoursoi]

triggaman and brown beat.

[mayornas]

tru dat!!!

[jrdubeau]

I hate to be a hater but this guy ain't going far...

[mayornas]

if u mean showboyz they come hell a far

[shecloudhops]

dey use to show dis on bet uncut

[rich504]

trigga man 4rm new orleans huh

[10toesdown]

Jone there doing that dancing is an *authentic* gangsta walker.

[DSKING]

I wouldnt jump to say its the authentic. But ya it sure as hell looks old school style, like g-style but more of a hitch wit the knees. I like it, tight! Jookin changes over and over again. this son gis a classic, the beat reminds me of Dj Squeeky & Zirk.

[10toesdown]

I'm sure this is some old head with a renown name... I just don't know who the cat is.

...split second at 0:25 -- that shit is authentic right there. lol

[DSKING]

Ya lol R u from memphis mane? I mean u got sum shit dats off sum g-force DVDs and Joe Gottis DVDs. I ask u this bcuz i read 1 of ur comments on Mike.D jookin and u didnt know who he was but u said he had "sum years under his belt" he was wit NAWG back den. if u were form memphis i think u would know dat.. not hatin, just wonderin mane.

[10toesdown]

WHAT??.. this pretentious ass shit. Ain't you from Canada or some shit? How the hell you gone try to question me because I don't know who that cat is? If YOU was from Memphis you'd know that the dude you speaking of ain't no legend of nothing... you talking like he BoBo or some shit.

Don't get ahead of yourself, cuz.

[DSKING]

I know u just didnt say dat shit. bcuz Mike D would rip bobos lame ass into 3 pieces n piss on da lame knicca. look at the clips u have, lil black? why dont u upload da lil daniel part huh? then ppl would see wuts up foo. I been bumpin dis memphis shit for 8 years, I know dis jookin shit. If u aint jookin den da fuk u talkin for? fuk bobo n blac, dey style is stiff n lame, just bcuz dey in a 3 6 mafia vid does not mean they r 1 of da best, ur blind if u think dat.

[DSKING]

Besides, da fuk u tryin to prove, just bcuz u got UG shit upload doesnt mean shit, I have all ur shit plus 1000 times over. Music videos, DVDs, Memphis junts, tapes from 80's-90's. Fukin right imma get ahead of my self, I know my shit and dats my Memphis shit Playa! I believe Mike.D is spoken of as a legend bcuz he is UNDEFEATED in battles. Although he dont battle no more he been jookin for 10 years!

[10toesdown]

[DSKING]
