you know new orleans when i was growing up the the a lot of the artists over
there were like the big
timers and uh you know uh lil wayne did you watch that hip-hop uh evolution the
new orleans episode
uh-uh i need to see it's great this whole i'm gonna re-watch this whole episode
and write down
all the things the one in new orleans starts with like master p and i mean new
orleans for me bro
it's the first of all i think memphis it has the longest uh cultural
significance in hip-hop right
people can argue me but like when you think about what music sounds like now
hip-hop
it all comes back to this memphis sound like this aggressive this dark and the
trap beats and like
it's just lasted forever and it was a small flash than pan with three six and
like eight ball and mjg
were doing it and then new orleans was like the same kind of sound they had
this like electronic
drum sound they like they loved electro they loved like many freshers making
you know like these kind
of like 808 sounds and they mixed it with the second line jazz and then big timers
and then master p came
up with the idea of independent label and he fucking crushed it and then uh
cash money came out and then
and they had this amazing bounce music which i love so much that's what i was
going to get to is the
bounce scene because uh yeah like big frida like some of the art i mean she's
the most popular but
the bounce scene there has been probably the biggest thing it's come out of new
world never left and
it's the same right no frida uh i was i worked with this um i worked with a
couple bounce artists
there's flyboy kino there's sissy nobi and it's it's very gay it's crazy people
don't realize how
gay the hip-hop scene in new orleans is um a lot of the rappers and labels you
know you talk to like uh
mystical or like um these guys car wash once i was with i was mystical in the
studio
no and uh after we got out of jail and i had just done this record called
express yourself with um nikki
the bee who was another gay bounce artist from new orleans and um it's like my
fusion of like dance
music in new orleans bounce back then and i remember playing for mystical in
the studio and i was like man
could he jump on this it was super game the video was gay too and i was like
can you jump on this
record and you know mystical said to me he's like bro that's hard that's
actually new orleans music
and he knew that's like that's actually the scene he wasn't like uh homophobic
or anybody's like man
i just can't come out of jail and do a like this record right now you know i
can't really like do a
verse on a on a gay bounce record but um he was like i'll be right back in jail
he's like a whole group
but at the same time he had respect and like knew that that's like real new orleans
music because if you
don't realize like even the you know big free is in that record with uh with
drake that came out
last year i don't even know that the down because drake's last album had a lot
of bounce influences
all new orleans records on it but there's not there hasn't been uh there hasn't
been a strong
hip-hop's been the only or bounce has been the only real music to come out of
that area kind of i feel
like there's that one interesting rock band in the 90s oh you mean uh third uh
third eye three doors
down something like that i used their studio when i worked on music with them
oh i know you're talking
about their nice guys too yeah that's the only other thing i know from new
world is really i remember
running through the wet grass falling a step behind i think there's nothing
there's a jam band for new
world too but i forget uh best
also the meters bro you know them oh dude one of them owns a freaking
restaurant where i where i take my
stepdad all the time and i mean if you get if you want to learn for me meters
is funk and country
completely matching might just think they're funk but they're like country bro
and they're instrumental
like meters are like they're like one of my biggest influences of all time like
they're so dope like
a new orleans funk is just like if you want to learn about music new orleans is
the birth of all all
american music in my opinion wow like everything comes from new orleans you
know from the history of
like it's a perfect combination of african music uh and european music and go
back
no that's not them three doors it's not three doors it's third eye blind dog
something
it's got one it's like a one-word name just look at look at indie band new orleans
maybe indie band
indie rock new orleans but there hasn't been do you think there's a reason why
there hasn't been a strong
hip-hop artist that's come out of there in a while i mean you think there would
be so
uh well there's like there's is it nba young boy from baton rouge is that his
name is that sure
he might be the biggest oh there's also there's kevin gates yeah nba boys from
is he from baton
rouge i mean he's like one of the biggest forms like low-key yeah yeah he's
like low-key he's one of the
biggest figures in hip-hop and i don't even know one nba young boy song but
like he just every girl
knows him and knows his music he just is always love him and boosie but he he
lives in atlanta yeah
boosie is that guy just came out of jail like he was like he missed all
technology and then just came
wasn't it so great he and he denied it i asked him because he came in i asked
him i said did you think
that because you were in jail you missed kind of like the evolution of
technology so you came into
instagram were just way too real he was so real i mean he didn't it didn't
register for him but i
thought that's exactly because i heard a story that he got out and he's like
friends gave him an
iphone he's like what is this like he was like it was like literally came out
of jail and like
went from it was he missed the the clutch parts of technology and hip-hop and
just came back like
insane like he's a legend though anybody you come back to him a lot of people
like if you do like that
dirty hip-hop he he's the guy and that's i don't know much about baton rouge i
know i only went there
once to um i actually went to little boosie i did a uh i was in baton rouge for
like my birthday i had
nothing going i was in new orleans for my birthday when i like turned like 24 i
just went by myself to
like read and just i love louisiana just like go to bars and stuff and i had a
friend there and we
went to see boosie did a concert at a mall in baton rouge and i went and saw
him before he went to jail
