I'm 43 and I used to try and follow my sister she's 53. But we used to go to porter gym dances and she would let me hang with her and dance to this until she said time for me to go home.
Old legend I am a original gangsta walker remind of music sown south of everybody free to express themselves with dignity fun laughter unity once upon a time
for those who really want to know. these guys are still at it. They still live in Hollis, Queens, New York. Here in memphis about 3 years ago there was a old school show and they were here doing "DRAG RAPP" AND TURNED THE PLACE OUT.
The ShowBoys Was a big influence for every legendary New Orleans Hip-Hop artists like Juvenile, Lil' Wayne, Mannie Fresh, Baby, Master P. and The No Limit Soldiers, & of course the one & only Big Freedia.
Bugs Can-Can and Phil D "Triggaman" AKA The "Showboys" are from New York. But the original never took off in NY. However, down south in Memphis & New Orleans it became instant classic. It influenced bounce in the N.O. and the foundation of Gangsta Walk music.
True, they are some NY cats but after they blessed New Orleans with "That Beat" we flipped the whole game for the south. But we do say thanks to the Big city for the luv. Respect!
My friend it reached the south before 5 or 6 years. I moved from LA to Memphis when I was a teenager back in the eighties. I remember listening to this song on K-97 in 85 in memphis. Now it might didnt reach the west coast till later but we had our own music back then that didnt reach ny till 5 or 6 years later. W-side fo life! know yo history.
wow, this brought back MAJOR MEMORIES... anybody here remember how wild the Trigger Man dance was? you literally had to get out of that person's way or you'd get knocked over by a whole line of ppl doin that dance.. I didn't know they did an update to this song! DJ Spanish fly 'a worrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd!" boy, I had so many of his mixtapes back in 91 and 92 when we 1st heard this song! There used to be a gangsta walk for every hood in Memphis, back then too! the memories~!
the original dudes from Queens . they surprised their song made it big down south . there are several interviews of them they talk about their famous song heavily sampled. they old school cats from Queens NYruclips.net/video/oEeDCCwQJRw/видео.html
Maybe 1990ish I remember watching these guys perform this version in a New Orleans club... they ran it back like 4 or 5 times and boy was the dance floor poppin on all of them... I miss those simpler times
Much love hope y'all got yo money, cause I heard at least 20 versions of this joint, in da 504, before dat I smoked much and drunk many 40's to the original,
FR, the furthest north Bounce goes is Richmond, Virginia... Look up DJ Sir RJ, he's the northernmost Bounce artist... And even then has only put out like 2-3 singles in 20+ years.
So, some New York cats are the" God fathers" of what is now known as "bounce music"??? That's crazy because cats in NY never heard of the "Show Boys". The first time I saw them was on BET late at night, and I would have never guest that they were from New York!!!
@RachaelBooks Umm . . you do know that the PNC's "New Orleans Block Party" ( Hot Girl Bounce ) uses this beat . . right? And most of Jubilee's bounce tracks used this beat too. That's why Wayne said what he said. This song is the basis for just about everything when talking about the New Orleans Bounce soung.
@DDDWHATITDO ....no doubt, memphis did they thang, but they wasnt flippin this in 91 pimpin....thats all Im sayin... If you can find one memphis rapper with a song to this beat b4 1991...post the link ya heard me........ps. much luv to m-town though...
I just watched that Nardwuar Lil Wayne interview. Heard Weezy say this song makes everyone in New Orleans go off, it's NOLA's song, etc. I barely remember this song! Of course that beat is in a ton of shit... Not saying it wasn't important, just saying I think New Orleans goes off more for DJ Jubilee or Partners N Crime. "New Orleans Block Party" is what's up!!!
It definately influenced bounce music. u could evidently see that every early bounce song sampled it, but i would have to say dj spanish fly had more of an influence on buck/gangsta walk music than the showboys
@theblackvictornewma MAN!!! i JUST posted that on the ORIGINAL "Drag Rap AKA Triggerman" beat. This song is like the RUE to GUMBO!!! It IS the base in which all bounce music flows!!! and i aint even From the N.O. I just went to college there....D.U.!!!!
The original version is way better. It was the beginning of the New Orleans Bounce craze. Mystical, Partners in Crime, & many more would follow. Damn, I miss the 90s.
if you dont know da real TriggaMan in New Orleans, you better ask somebody if you dont know. My tattoo is da real deal. Grim Weeper in Red holding 2 smokin' guns with da words Trigger Man on My arm..... got My tatt off St Claude in da 9thWard. How you like ME now.
@DDDWHATITDO ................You trippin hard.... T.T Tucker was the first to flip this beat DOWN SOUTH back in 1991!!! Do ya research sargeant, its all ova RUclips jack....like dat dea'
lol, what are you, like 15? The original version of this song was a campy, damn near cartoony, story stylistically borrowing from the 40s gangster era told in a way similar to the dialog you'd expect to hear in 50s television crime dramas like The Untouchables or Dragnet.
Please but anybody please don't look at this video to cause gang violence and don't take this video too seriously , you up and coming teen's that belong street gang's should get out of them it's artist's like this who learned their lesson earlier in their life to make money from their past life by creating music like this. But why should you get out in street's in your town to kill other's and rob liquor store's.. The showboy's are making cash from song's like this from their past mistake's of the time from the pen that 1 or the other was doing gang member's please stop the violence and get a real job in society. Because the jail or the state or federal pen isn't your home
Don't go talking on subjects you don't know about. I don't know you, let alone your age, but ANYONE who came up in NOLA during the early 90s is beyond aware of the literally hundreds of songs that sampled the original 1985 version of this song. This newer version, however, is a pale imitation of the original. Seeing all the forced-in T&A shots makes this feel like Poison tried to cover Led Zeppelin the way that such an undeniable classic has been reduced to being nothing more than a cash grab.
I worked for the folks at Studio G back when the Showboys we coming to Memphis all the time in the late 80s. Loved seeing the video here since it is so much like what I wanted to do for the cover of Gangsta Walk but we couldn't afford the photo shoot back then.
I was there in da flesh! Club Memphis on Park ave Im 53 now & still love this song
I'm 43 and I used to try and follow my sister she's 53. But we used to go to porter gym dances and she would let me hang with her and dance to this until she said time for me to go home.
Thanks to these guys, you wouldn't have the blueprints to Crunk, Bounce, or Trap. Much respect!
This song is definitely not the only ingredient to any of those genres but it is detrimental to New Orleans Bounce.
.
If u play this in the club now in Memphis, everybody running to the floor gangsta walking. It's still hot in Memphis after all these years.
I swear mane I hate I can’t buck “gangster walk”
New Orleans too
When triggerman comes on you cant help but do the Gangsta Walk...
imaqtee1 im bout to get wrote up at work for buckn in the workplace
What's the gangsta walk?
Memphis shit gangsta walking is a memphis dance.
Old legend I am a original gangsta walker remind of music sown south of everybody free to express themselves with dignity fun laughter unity once upon a time
....Even at my wedding
for those who really want to know. these guys are still at it. They still live in Hollis, Queens, New York. Here in memphis about 3 years ago there was a old school show and they were here doing "DRAG RAPP" AND TURNED THE PLACE OUT.
That's awesome!
So is the original group from New Orleans or New York?

Vaughn Baskin. Love my people. Memphis Tennessee. Old-school. Love see them Sunshine
They don't know who the showboys is lol
DJ Jimi too
Only people that were born around the 60’s and 70’s knows so much about trigger man,not the 90’s or 00’s babies
We made these boys relevant, we took that beat and ran with it.............New Orleans!!!
Still my favorite #BETUNCUT VIDEO

Had to come back to this cause I heard dj screw listening to this in an interview
Noimmm sayinn. His last days. Puttin it down
True, they are some NY cats but after they blessed New Orleans with "That Beat" we flipped the whole game for the south. But we do say thanks to the Big city for the luv. Respect!
i love the style do this music video, wish more artists made it like this
The beat goes HAM!!!
My friend it reached the south before 5 or 6 years. I moved from LA to Memphis when I was a teenager back in the eighties. I remember listening to this song on K-97 in 85 in memphis.

Man New Orleans took this beat and flip that thing major shout to the showboyz
All of you should hear the original from 1986! Glad you can appreciate old school artists from Queens!
So they are from Queens N.Y. but repped hard asf in Memphis. That's dope!
Yea they even did a maxi single tape & vinyl in Memphis in 1991 named "Gangster Walk". I dont think the songs are anywhere on youtube, sadly
DIS DAT GOOD STUFF
Triggerman 5/7/2022 still 🔥
this song forever be hot in memphis & louisiana
Hold This L. Debarge For real. I bumped this hard when it came out.
the original dudes from Queens . they surprised their song made it big down south . there are several interviews of them they talk about their famous song heavily sampled. they old school cats from Queens NYruclips.net/video/oEeDCCwQJRw/видео.html
Memphis ❤
dont 4get, Nashville
Brings back the memories of staying up late and watching BET uncut haha on man.
Dj screw had this in the mix
I remember rocking this in the late 80's (the original).
Such an iconic beat thats been used over and over!
Maybe 1990ish I remember watching these guys perform this version in a New Orleans club... they ran it back like 4 or 5 times and boy was the dance floor poppin on all of them... I miss those simpler times
I like the song shake it like a salt shaker. I was like 6 years old in the early 90's dancing to that song.
Much love hope y'all got yo money, cause I heard at least 20 versions of this joint, in da 504, before dat I smoked much and drunk many 40's to the original,
Crazy how they went to Memphis to do this video
lol i remember this was on BET Uncut
I remember seeing this on Uncut back in the day. Even have some videos on tape.
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW THIS WAS THE ORIGIN OF BOUNCE MUSIC... AND IT WAS STARTED IN QUEENS NYC
And NY Showboys took the concept of Drag Rap from Dragnet, a WEST COAST LOS ANGELES show. NY didnt know jack shit about bounce. Still dont.
FR, the furthest north Bounce goes is Richmond, Virginia... Look up DJ Sir RJ, he's the northernmost Bounce artist... And even then has only put out like 2-3 singles in 20+ years.
wow mann....they must get mad love when they come to da N.O...i wonder if they still perform tho
damn sicker than the first version...love me some bounce and my Nawlins....
Zondalyn Noble 😘
It's just a sample that Memphis and NO DJs flipped and put they spin on it
So, some New York cats are the" God fathers" of what is now known as "bounce music"??? That's crazy because cats in NY never heard of the "Show Boys". The first time I saw them was on BET late at night, and I would have never guest that they were from New York!!!
