dear list: The perect style to mc over Jungle with is the so called
"country" style . This style was poneered by Midwest(?) groups like
Bone Thugs,Twista, and Crucial conflict. In the US Midwestern and
southern taste run tigether( MasterP babeee!) and they sound country ,
hence he term. ven big mik was using it on his last album as well as Do
or Die.. Since it involves rapping fast and the track uses a fast hi
hat pattern , The acapellas work over jungle and miami Bass and Do doo
beats( "tickle me elmo"). I have 2 Bone thugs accaapllas, 2 crucial
conflict , one big mike (in this style) as well as other Bone-like
"biters". Instead of dismising thes guys see this as opportunity to
amaze your D n B audience by putting this in your set. Next time you
see some back Mc trying to get on by copping the "bone thugs" steelo
instead of dissing him invite him up to your room and make beats for
him. The novelty of this in a dance context will make up for any
criticism that associaton with this most retrograde of afro american
rap styles might engender.
