[mkl062000]

LMAO@ mbc had the more"melodic" version of big ballin lol obviously you havent heard the actuall song lol nothin very melodic about it ...ppl say the darndest things these days ...

[561lild]

hey homie just because you played it first doesnt mean you the best lol just take a look at the NBA players now a days doing stuff players back then would wish to accomplish.

[TOPFISH04]

MBC? Sorry, never heard of em

[gradyboi91]

[muzikizlyfe1010]

That is the BIGGEST lie I have ever heard... well read!!!

[GodzRicko]

Yup.

[Chris121091]

deaf???

[Chris121091]

Where have YOU been?

[blkplaya9891]

Check some of their clips and you will.

[BWB2006]

Hey my man. Just for the record,this is NOT a copy of MoB's Big Ballin. This piece indeed has 2 moving parts,but there's no riff in the B section unlike NSU and MBC version. Oh ,by the way,this the arranger of the piece coming at you.

[blkplaya9891]

No this is not MBC's version, but I must say that when MBC played Bethune back in the day, Big Ballin was one of MBC's signature songs long before Bethune started playing this. Check some of the old clips of MBC vs Bethune. The MBC version is more melodic than this one, though this one is good too. Jackson State plays a nice version this as well and just as loud if not louder, but in Jackson's version, the drums are more distinctive throughout the song.

[naak908561]

No MBC's version is not better then COOKMAN's!!!!!!!!!! COOKMAN's is way better!!!

[blkplaya9891]

Everyone is entitled to their two pennies, even you. Don't equate loud with better. Cookman has one of the loudest versions of Big Ballin and they play it well, but it's a simple version. Go back and listen to MBC's version, theirs is a little more musical than Cookman's and to me, that's what makes it better than Cookman's.

[jhstiger]

Where is Morris Brown now? Out of the picture so how about we leave them there and when they come back we'll deal with it then ok?

[SHINE912]

They will be back 09 buddy to digg in that ass again trust that

[jhstiger]

They won't be the same!

[jhstiger]

Right they were in a movie and still went down! Cookman isn't the same band any more this isn't the 80's or 90's

[SHINE912]

A movie have nuttin to do with losing your acritdations. And MoB got in BCU ass in 2002 at Herndon Stadium and trust and believe MoB wont be the same.

[jhstiger]

Look fact is MB WAS a great band but even if they come back once again Cookman had CHANGED! Cookman has been putting bands down and MB will be no different!

[SHINE912]

LMAO what band has Cookamn put down beside ASU?But ask Cookamn why they have MBC arragement of Big ballin? LMAO enuff said

[jhstiger]

Same reason all the SWAC neck sound alike because THEY SOUND THE SAME! BCU makes it sound better. Famu, SU, Grambling, Hampton, NCA&T, NSU, SCSU, PRVU, Morgan, oh and can't forget about MBC. Thats just to name a few lol.

[SHINE912]

None of them have the same Necks nor the Same big Balling in FAMU big Balling they have 3 moving parts in BCU they only have 2 same with MBC who was the 1st College band i heard arrange that song listn to 1:29 moving part on BCU and then listen to it on FAMu you will see FAMU have arrangement has 4 3 layer moving parts

[jhstiger]

I said FAMU as one of the many bands that Cookman put down, I know FAMU version is different, but it seems no one likes it and to be honest it's probably my favorite version and ALL of the SWAC bands version of neck sound the same listen to SU, ASU, The only one that sound different is TSU but the SWAC sound the same.

[playboy03]

@jhstiger Well I am alumnus of TSU, and BCC's is my favorite version of this song! I really like the brass break with that chord...evil sounding, and I LOVE IT!

[PHSMustangSAXPlayer]

@jhstiger ASU jacked SU's haha... JukeBox's is original lol.. but ASU has a new one now so oh well

[SonicBoomC98]

@jhstiger None of the SWAC arrangements of NEck sound the same even AlaSU changed theirs so it doesn't sound like SU's

[jeremyhbkdx]

thats not true brah...a mellow player made this arr. up in the stands at a game back in the day....i think lol

[wildcat10]

Since when did we play mbc arrangement of Big Ballin???

[SHINE912]

well since i found out yall arrangement it in 96 i will retrack that statement

[wildcat10]

[DJTPT]

dang look at all those tubas!!!

[redancymbals]

I Kno Right

[born1914]

instantly became a Powerhouse band arrangement .......... For years to come there would be imitations of my original version which is an exact version, Chords and all, of BIG BALLIN. But it was never duplicated ............which is why 10 long years later its still in "THE BOOK" @ JSU !!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THE BOOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tubalucy7]

I understand you are as old as the book, however arrangements are based off the writers style, BESIDES COOKMAN WILL WAX DAT ANYWAY.....BCU

[born1914]

There is no freakin way that this arrangement was better than JSU's ................... for one JSU's version was written by me back in fall 97-98 back before most people even knew about CASH MONEY or LIL WAYNE for that matter. I was the first person to write Big Ballin' and it

[babyphat009]

omg, the horn solo just make tingles crawl up my spine!!

[BWB2006]

Hey the arranger of this picee is a mellophone player.

[tmantam]

thats btones too ..

[NAB4]

Sounds a lot like the one in NSU's arrangement...oddly enough.

[AtlDweller]

MAN SHUT THAT SHYT UP! I was bein sarcastic, its about 289 of us, 265 on the field, and every single member of the marching wildcats is enrolled in Bethune Cookman University, which is more than we can say bout SOME universities!

[atlien]

there was never no 5,000 people n this band let alone 900, the student population at bcu is only 3,000 in something. but then again i do kno ya'll use those high school students to play with ya'll. I aint knock'n BCU, I'm their greatest fan. But don't try o put the band on a bigger platform then they really are. Sure they are the heavyweight champions of hbcu marching bands!!!

[krislockett]

just shit roll bruh

[bobthemunk]

i like this arrangement better than JSU's, it's got some more chordal stuff going on rather than just brute force.

[Tigerwarhawk]

I agree wholeheartedly. JSU's arrangement IS about brute force, just like most arrangements they play. JSU, just like Grambling, need to check their history and take notes from it. Both of those bands sounded better in the 80's and back.

[SonicBoomC98]

@Tigerwarhawk You gotta be kidding me. 1. This arrangement got nothing on JSU. 2. JSU plays all kinda different songs and dynamic variations. 3. No band sounds like JSU did the 80s including every MEAC band. Bands just don't arrange their songs that way. JSU and a lot of schools played in lower keys and a different style from today. And I'd take a 90's Boom over and 80's. Don't hate cause every song all play is boring. Some of JSU songs are straight Power. But others are pretty and others mix

[taybezzy123]

yeah dem piccolos are awsome bcc is awsome period

[jazziegal97]

how many people were in the band that year, you guys are huge.

[AtlDweller]
