Bounce music is an energetic style of New Orleans hip hop music, taking off in the early 1990s, but dating back to 1980s. It is characterized by call and response party chants and dance call-outs typically sung over the "Triggerman" (from the song "Drag Rap" by the Showboys) and/or "Brown Beat" (from Derek B's "Rock The Beat") samples. The genre maintains widespread popularity in New Orleans, Louisiana, and the Southern United states, but has a more limited following outside of the Deep South. MC T.T. Tucker is noted as an early pioneer of the genre, and quite possibly its creator. The genre evolved quickly through the '90s. Throughout this decade the Take Fo' record label dominated the scene with artists such as DJ Jubilee, Da' Sha Ra', Willie Puckett, and Katey Red.
So WTF does the Bounce have to do with health? Well, it not only will make you smile, giggle and be happy just to watch the videos - but if you actually try to bounce you may just get the best workout of your life! Plus being that it is a sexually aggressive dance move it may improve your love life, especially when you show your partner that you learned to bounce at The Oko Box!
If anyone watches these videos and succeeds at learning to bounce please let me know...I am off to try and bounce...
