Apparently there's a pre-Concentration Camp Young Bleed song called Much Love which was Bleed's first song to get radio play in Baton Rouge, and which uses a sample of You Can't Run Away by The Bar-Kays. Alas, it doesn't appear to have ever been uploaded to the internet, but someone out there must have it on a manky old cassette tape.
On the plus side, searching for the Bleed song online sent me down a rabbit hole where I discovered that Level recorded a remake of MC Nero Baby's Baton Rouge classic I Gotta Lotta Respect.
Mello Buckzz kinda looks like a different person in all her music videos. Rap equivalent of Zarana from The Dreadnoks or wot?
Back in 1996 Busta's Woo-Hah!! really made my day. Here in 2024 that song still kills shit like O.J. One of the greatest debut Rap singles of all time with a video that's the Citizen Kane of Rap-Hands.
Gutted to see that the music channels on British Freeview TV are all closing at the end of June. I'm a big fan of channel-surfing between Kiss TV and Kerrang TV before bed, and flipping between songs like GloRilla's Yeah Glo!, Willow's Transparent Soul, Benzz's Je M'appelle, Turnstile's New Heart Design, and Tinashe's Nasty is an enjoyable way to wind down the evening.
If Talking Pictures closes too, then we riot.
ReplyDeleteGo wild like rock stars and smash TVs.
ReplyDeleteI love Tinashe and am glad her career is doing well since being independent but i don’t get the hype with “Nasty”.
ReplyDeleteIt was a grower for me.
ReplyDeletefor me "nasty" is what's hopefully the beginning of tinashe's velvet rope era (the single art seems to suggest this theory)
ReplyDeletealso that willow song is kind of a banger! i like this one too https://youtu.be/eiNTcWmGZCc
Yes! Definite Velvet Rope vybz.
ReplyDeleteThe Willow & Avril Lavinge single is somewhat of a Kerrang TV classic too.
music videos are the best tv show <\3
ReplyDeletehow long til avril works with tyga thooo?
Better Tyga than Vince Staples, obvs.
ReplyDeleteI knew that story about the Young Bleed song rang a bell, a couple years ago that blogger dude conducted a bunch of in-depth interviews with a slew of older Baton Rouge rappers, Bleed, Minelli etc:

Here's the Young Bleed one and it's a must-read! No trace of said song though, I just had a quick look on soulseek just because but nothing showed up.
http://www.lebronjames.co/?page=4 go there for some more Louisiana rap itvs, and there's a buch of Texas rappers on another page. I know reading long articles like that on a screen isn't optimal, but he really got some great answers out of all those dudes.
Anyway, gonna have to jam your C Camp Compilation from a few year's back for tonight's soundtrack.
I found that Bleed interview when I was searching for the song. Not seen the others tho so cheers. Gonna read the Max Minelli one now.
