Popular bounce artists have included DJ Jubilee, Partners-N-Crime, Magnolia Shorty and Big Freedia. Structure Bounce is characterized by call-and-response-style party and Mardi Gras Indian chants and dance call-outs that are frequently hypersexual and controversial. These chants and call-outs are typically rapped over the " Triggerman beat", which is sampled from the songs " Drag Rap" by the Showboys and "Brown Beats" by Cameron Paul. The original recording sampled by Paul was "Rock the Beat" by British rapper Derek B, produced by Simon Harris and released in early 1987 on the Music of Life British hip hop label in the UK. The sound of bounce has primarily been shaped by the recycling and imitation of the Simon Harris produced " Drag Rap" beat: its opening chromatic tics, the intermittent shouting of the word "break", the use ...
