Where They At: New Orleans Rap Scene Retrospective

[Long Live The Kane]

I got something of a Davis McAlary from Treme type fascination with the New Orleans rap scene from the early to late 90's...and I stumbled upon this site the other day named "Where They At: New Orleans Rap and Bounce in Words and Pictures" ...they have dope lil write-ups for a bunch of artists from that scene along with excerpts of audio interviews they did with them...i reccommend checking it out for anybody that's a fan of NO rap

Mia X tells a story of how she got inspired to rap by early female emcees and how she was first convinced to get on stage and perform by a dude that lived down the street from that dj'd, named Mannie Fresh

KLC used to have the dopest beats during that late 90's No Limit era...

Tim Smooth definitely one of the most underrated N.O. rappers

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Tim Smooth definitely one of the most underrated N.O. rappers

I think he gets so overlooked off the strength of coming out pre-bounce era and having more of a west coast influenced sound

 

[I AM WE ARE]

this needs to be sticky but n.o. rap influenced more than what people think and will never get credit for it

 

[H.I.M.]

Tim Smooth definitely one of the most underrated N.O. rappers

I been bumping this dudes songs for half my life and didn't even know who homie was until today...this song was a fixture on early 90's Memphis Underground mixtapes...and was sampled to death by DJ Paul/Juicy J and a bunch of others.



This song too

That pre-No Limit/Cash Money era of N.O. rap is underrated for it's influence on Southern rap.
