...come on let's picture the possibility...
I stumbled on this thread and must admit, a lot of interesting information. I've joined this site to give you my take on H Town..but first i wanted to comment about the Trill Azz Mixes. the 1st Trill Azz Mixes was put together by a dj from nashville named C Wiz, in conjunction with UGK. Pimp gave him a couple of pieces along with what he already had & he went in the studio & tracked it up. Bun B has stated in the past that C Wiz used to always be at them about doing one & after they did it, they were getting shows from it, during the time that they were having issues with bytchass Jive Records. Trill Azz Mixes 2 was done by UGK's dj Dolby D, which is how he got a couple of pieces that aren't available & he tracked it up as well. Jive Records didn't have anything to toss a dj track wise from UGK with the exception of "you don't know me" & an early version of "my bytch", which couldn't be released due to the sample clearance
this is the original version [screwed up]:
this is the version most people have heard:
As for Htown, it's unfortunate that the rap scene is the way it is here. For those who don't live here I will tell you Htown may appear to be this big city, but it's really made up of a bunch of towns & along with it is the country town mentality. There is no unity..just enough to get by. Everybody wants to be on top and control shyt. The North & the South are still split, just not as violent as they once were. the screw culture popularized by DJ Screw has dwindled down and is mainly supported by mexicans. Not only that but the people trying to do the chopped and screwed style are fukking it up so bad, nobody wants to hear that shyt. I was told once Hawk was killed, it made it harder for dudes to not only unify, but to get together within the Screwed Up Clique. The local DJ's are more concerned with playing anything from anywhere else. Yeah they might run thru a little 15 minute set of Htown classics then it's back to the bullshyt. In fact, the DJs who get all the big events are not even from Htown, but Dallas, and at one time were more concerned with pushing that bullshyt swag rap more than any Htown sound. They don't even really support UGK like they should..maybe take it off, maybe let me see it..that's it. As I am not from here I did my research and it seems around the time the all-star game & the Super Bowl were here is when the city blew up rap wise..then fell off. Other people try to emulate the sound of Htown, while Htown is trying to sound like the ATL, before that Dallas. I was shocked to find out Scarface was basically a bytch. He wasn't going to confront Lil Troy, he wanted no issues with dude & said he was forced to put that music out about him. I was also told Lil Troy can box and would put hands on face. I can tell you Slim Thug is visible everywhere and doesn't seem to have any issues with anyone, but also doesn't want anyone outshining him either. I made ESG & Trae both seemed solid, as did C note of the Botany Boys, altho he didn't seem too concerned with the rap game anymore.
I always wished Dallas had a huge break through artist back then. The only ones I remember making noise back in the day was Nemesis with 'Munchies for your bass".
Then Ron C especially when he got out.
You could say the D.O.C. but he was kind of seen as a LA rapper.
