The Showboys - Drag Rap (Triggaman)

[tearsoftechnology]

The music in this song is the theme from dragnet from the 60's......watch?v=Hj-qhIGTXdU

[tearsoftechnology]

I have the 12 inch in mint condition....dope track.

[AlexWerkmeister712]

Tech N9ne's "Planet Rock 2K" and "Planet Rock 2K (Down South Remix)" samples this beat.

I knew I recognized it from somewhere.

[tearsoftechnology]

@AlexWerkmeister712 almost every bounce track in nola samples this beat.

[AlexWerkmeister712]

@tearsoftechnology

Yeah, I've found a few others.

Tech's is probably my favorite, though.

[mnypwrrspkt]

[minimsp]

Young Money made the song "Where's Wayne" wit that beat :) <3

[pookermit]

[Ronlg1]

The best way to describe this song is like this.

Rue to Gumbo.

Drag Rap to New Orleans Rap.

It is the Base in which those things flow...ha ha ha

[tiltwolfe]

[MA3POLO]

That dude said something about Queens. Who made this beat? Someone said it was Mannie Fresh, and he's from New Orleans. Where are the Showboys from?

[saintdenis11]

This beat was made by The Showboys from Queens.

[nolachik504]

This song, which was made in 1986 did come from the Showboys, who were from New York. In 1991-2, MC T. Tucker and DJ Jimi and DJ Irv sampled this song for the first New Orleans bounce song "Where Dey At." That is why we used the Triggerman beat.

What ppl dont know is that there are 3 types of beats, in which Mannie Fresh later made one. He did not however make Triggerman.

[Ronlg1]

@nolachik504 YO!!!! Thank you SOO much for posting that!!!! What was soo funny was when I got to New Orleans (Dillard Univ) in 1991 and this was the NUMBER ONE song on ALL of the countdowns. I was like wait a minute, didn't this come out in 86??? You could not TELL them that this wasn't a new song back then!!!

[nolachik504]

your welcome.

im a true new orleanian and i love to research the history of my culture!

kudos on dillard- ill be graduating in 2011!

[Ronlg1]

You at Dillard now? If so, cool. I wanted to come back for the DU/XU classic, but it aint happening

[J4s0n3r]

Yes original release 1986...The 12-inch has been repressed in 1991 (Profile Records)...think that was the reason people thought it was a new song...

[osp80]

yeah,they were from queens but the the song didn't really take off in in the north east but it blew up in the south

[gemini19662007]

& that's a good deal because the south knows how to party

[soulreal2000]

@MA3POLO new york. but this song is like NO anthem

[bonusb923]

does anyone know how i would clear a sample of this if i wanted to sample this commercially? do they even care?

[RandomentalTV]

If you plan on selling it commercially, I'd recommend finding the composer or artist and asking for permission. Considering that they're not with big labels, they probably would let it slide. But some people are greedy so you never know. You could try and sample it and if they ever run into it you can handle it with them then. I've already made 2 beats sampling this track.

[rammzee72]

The Most Technical Rap of all Time . . . Track, Lyrics, Presentation, Production, Performance.

[ctyson504]

yall goin back in the day huh? i remeber when this first was relased...i cant believe i still know all the fuckin words after all these years

[souphtc]

I remember hearing this on Q93 in New orleans. I wish I could get a list of the songs they played during this era of music. It's tough looking for songs like this. They used to do so many Saints songs adapted from hip hop songs too. Damn I wish I could get my hands on that stuff.

[Lilprodful]

IN MEMPHIS rap.....sampled this music

[dudurty504]

100% Classic. I still, 'til this day, listen to this (Drag Rap), "Armed Robbery" by 8Ball & MJG, "Balls and My Word" and "Scarface" by Geto Boys all the time.

[SinistaMinista666]

i think every last part of this song has been sampled by at least 99% of the south manne, but the original still goes hard

[dave54303]

This came out when I was young as fuck damn! lol

[rodivus]

Classic south shit....Gangsta walk and get buck music.

[smt705]

Yes Indeed... I luv it!

[dreadlocks713]

They used to play this in whispers and discovery for hours!!!!!!!!! Triggaman come on you know it was going down, ya heard me

[datfire213]

[charvez12]

Triple Six and G Style from Memphis started samplin this from tha Triggaman song first

[BBooker2]

By the way, at 1:53 in the background that's the beat that Three 6 always uses.

[BBooker2]

I was born in 84 so I def dont remember when it came out. My cousin gave me a tape w/ this song on it when i was like 6 years old. I brought that shit to college (around 2002) and not a single person ever heard of it....they were all too busy listening to 50 Cent's piece of garbage CD. I turned about half the dorm on to it though, small victory i guess...

[stank11187]

1986 if you'd like to know.

[williamwordz]

haha quite small. but Victory is victory.

[thepienears]

Hahahaha. Thats crazy. Nicely done.

-Bob E. Harvard

[pazzmatt]
