Your favorite era of ATL music

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

No such thing as Atlanta bounce


Crunk era was GOAT IMO b/c it involved everybody at the city at one point. Jon was everywhere, Tip did Crunk/trap in between "I'm serious" & the "In da Streets" mixtapes. Jeezy, Killer Mike, Pastor Troy, Scrappy, Trillville, Big Oomp All Stars Even OutKast (moreso Big Boi) could jump on a Crunk record (ie. Kryptonite w/Purple Ribbon All Stars).

GOAT era for me

As an outta towner I'm not gonna sit here and correct legit atl cats. What would you two classify the sound i'm describing then? Especially the pre-yin-yang bankhead sound as given in the examples

I get what youre trying to say. I'd just describe it as 808/Atlanta bass/party music. DJ Collipark used to DJ with Luke & 2 Live Crew back in the early 90's & brought that sound to Atlanta & worked with Raheem the Dream & Kilo Ali of Atlanta to pioneer that party/player sound in the city. He then started working with Ying Yang Twins, JD, Lil Jon (who was an A&R at So So Def before he blew up). Collipark deserves a lotta credit for developing that "party" sound

BTW, Ying Yang Twins are from the Southside, Bankhead is the Westside. That party sound is all over Atlanta

The simultaneous buildup of jeezy, TI, and gucci mane was amazing...they made djs and producers' careers

We used to spin trap or die like it was the biggest release of the year.

By the way Atlanta cats, this is an appreciation thread... From me...

Didnt Atlanta basically jack crunk music from Memphis anyway?

I wouldn't say that, as we talked about...its more of taking Miami Bass and slowing it down. They did take the energy from 36 in Memphis, but if you combine Memphis energy Miami Bass and general Atlanta flavor you get crunk. I don't think there's anything really wrong with that.

Atlanta is kind of a transplant city anyway, lol

Funk >>>> crunk >>> early trap (like 04-08)

Crunk no doubt

Youngbloodz - Damn
Crime Mob - Knuck if You Buck
Dem Franchise Boyz - White Tee
Bone Crusher - Never Scared
Lil Jon - I Dont Give a...
Scrappy - No Problem

Bia Bia wasnt that big up here. Very small actually. If i was to rank the 5 biggest tracks as far as popularity:

1 Get Low
2 Damn
3 Knuck if You Buck (my 2nd favourite)
4 Never Scared
5 No problem or What they gon do

Honorable Mention: Usher's Yeah would be number 1 but it was a hybrid.

Very good era in music
