I’ve always said that Bubba’s Deliverance album is one of the best albums I’ve ever heard.. It’s flawless. Timbaland and Organized Noise killed the tracks and Bubba was dope on the mic ..
Classic hip hop album
I've heard a lot about that album but never listened to it
I agree
I want feeling it
I'm going to have to check out that album...I have been hearing it was and still is a good album
When He said “I gotta get it right” , I sung to Myself ; “Get it Right , Get it Right , Get it Tight”… 4x…😂😂😂
Don’t forget that horn in the back😂
“I aint choose to rhyme rhyming chose me.. so I hit the track running like a nosebleed” - BS
Sorry to be that person but that’s an iconic bar … u have to get it right if u gna say ; “I ain’t choose to rhyme , rhyming chose me … “
Man if you don’t stfu 🤣‼️
@@nighttimeheadquarters 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@GoatedCulturePodcast touché
It’s gone get ugly ugly ugly
That main hit from Bubba Sparxxx Ms. New Booty is still a hit to this day. I was a freshman in high school when this came out.
Mayne u ain't lie bubba was a household name back in the early 2000s. I was only 11 when Ms new booty came out but boiii if it ain't have our lil dances n shit lit asf🔥
that video was hilarious especially when Joel Osteen appeared in it
That Dirty song was low key 🔥
Man Bubba really was 20 years ahead of the times back then. Country rap is damn near its own sub genre now. It’s even some country artists using 808s & hi hats now.
And u can thank Pimp C for all of that. Not bubba fuckin spark 😂 Pimp invented country rap tunes. And Tow Down actually did the song Country Rap Tunes.
@@elcochino8139 u really reaching pimp c dosent rap about being from no country
@@elcochino8139 Pimp C is FROM the Country. He didn't invent thr COUNTRY RAP genre. By that logic, it's actually Geto Boys that invented Country Rap
@@curtisshamburger4387 you're tripping. Pimp C and Bun B did that over a decade before Bubba Sparxxx. Stop trying to re-write history and put a white guy's name onto a black guy's creation.
@@bruceleeds7988 Pimp C claimed "country" because that's how he felt they were seen in comparison to NY and LA. And in reality UGK was from Port Arthur which is by no means a big city. Bubba sparks may have had some guitar or harmonica samples but I don't think that makes it any more country than most hip hop. Then take into account that Pimp C was black, so "country" to him may have been the blues and church music influence that they did have.
"Country rap" as seen today basically means your white and portray a certain image. Not much else matters. Look at Jellyroll, he was a white trap rapper but now changed his image to be a "country rapper."
Timbaland on the production!!! & Bubba was a great duo! The early 2000s was fun with the music 🎶🎶🎶🎶 Nostalgic
That Deliverance album is STILL criminally underrated! I still bump tracks from that album to this day.
played it for my wife recently and she was shocked at how good it was. She dont understand how she never heard of it before.
Criminally!!
I'm sure u didn't bump that "coming around" though 🤣🤣
My favs was deliverance warrant and nowhere
Nowhere, Comin' Around, Take A Load Off, Overcome, etc were all fire to me.
Damn man. Such a great clip. Just the honesty about the addiction is so fresh and relatable. Wish him much love and happiness.
Bubba is the most humble/ down to earth artist I’ve ever worked or collaborated with FRFR!
And your mom is the most freakiest/nastiest woman I’ve ever worked with FRFR!
Awesome story Bubba, I really sympathize with people who struggle with addiction. These kinds of conversations can save lives. Godspeed brother! 💯
" I've been traveling for some time / With my fishing pole and my bottle of shine / On this long dark dusty road/ I'm looking and there's no where to go / " 🔥🔥 Deliverance was definitely a classic joint. Bubba had it 💯
The reason Bubba Sparxxx has had so much success is because his music is authentic. He built a loyal fanbase through focusing on his craft, and not being pressured into sounding like other artists. His success continues to inspire me. Hopefully one day my music can touch the masses such as Bubba Sparxxx. But as for now I’m just happy being a fan
Your my new favorite rapper
No doubt bro
Post a different comment bro.. don’t just copy n paste to each video that’s laziness.. if you really want to get into hiphop or music then you can’t be lazy like this 🤷♂️
white people just need someone to relate to stfu 💀
@@caper087 sorry I bought a cheap marketing manger in fiver he’s insane
I'm from Duval was living in New Orleans when this album was released and I remember the reaction my friends who were visiting me from Amsterdam for Mardi Gras had the first time I played Deliverance for them. Both of them bought a copy of the CD at Virgin Music on Decatur and took a copy back home the EU with them. Album is a classic start to finish.
Deliverance will never get the respect it deserves. An elite album
I'm so happy that Bubba Sparks is doing well. 🤗🤗🤗
Nice! Loved his honesty and testimony. Bubba, we need new music.🔥🔥🔥
If Vlad was interviewing Bubba, this would be cut up in 4 parts for 4 days! 🤦🏽♂️😂
Lmao
More like 2 weeks
With part 76 coming in May
And after Bubba would say something really personal Vlad would go "Ok..Ok, so when I made my first million"
Don’t forget at least 3 boosie flash backs 😂😂
I'm glad he recovered from his addiction. Hopefully he stays clean.
I agree with him the worst thing about withdrawal is the insomnia. At least with the flu you look forward to sleeping at the end of the day and wake up feeling a little better. With opiate withdrawal you're in pain all day, then all night, then all day again and then all night, for weeks sometimes. It's hellish. And on top of the harsh flu like symptoms you've got bad depression and anxiety.
yea im on suboxne and going a week without any is hell. The insomnia is the worst along with flu like symptoms and restless leg syndrome.
Facts FAM but left out the vomiting & diarrhea along wit the restless leg syndromes it's a horrible experience no 🧢 it's fucked up all the way around it's really not jus a mental drug but def a physical drug whereas sum1 on coke might jus have a mental thing along wit sum physical effects but opioids are def a total dif beast no lie 🤥
@@redmondisaiah16 how do u feel on the Suboxones? I've tried methadone but that really wasn't me but being that I get the pills from my Dr bc I do have actual physical issues that require them but I don't want to always wake up everyday needing something outside of myself to get motivated to start my day
@@804smiles subs the same as pills, need every day and give you crazy brain fog
Flu isnt even the best way to describe full blown withdrawals man its the worst. The sneezing is bad as well. I would not wish it on my worst enemy
Bubba? Yet ANOTHER super underrated rapper. This guy was a pioneer!! Still got mad love for this guy.
Wait pioneer of what?
You’ll have to clarify… a pioneer to what? Can’t be “hip hop or rap”? So, what can it be? Can’t be as a white rapper…. Beastie Boys, 3rd Base… Eminem… what?
@@kwasiaking1989 his second album was pretty much the first of its kind of country/hip hop that to this day you hear.
Actually he is a pioneer of white rappers who can be mainstream in the current rap genre at the time.
@@killakawi1 i have never heard any white rapper mainstream or locally said they they started rapping because of Bubba
That Comin' Round track is hard af. Them early albums really put his skill on display.
Hearing him talk about how Comin round came about feel so special to me, that song like the whole Deliverance album was and still is insane!
“Cause y’all be bullshittin!” My mom LOVED that line and was from College Park. She had mad love for bubba
Spittin that booty chatter💀
Sparxx had some bangers back then. Good to see him clean nowadays.
Bubba was just to far ahead of his time! That Deliverance album is still to this day one of my favorite! Respect Bubba K!
Hip-Hop is a culture and that is what most record companies don't realize! We as fans and supporters know damn well that Bubba and EM are 2 different artist!
Honestly there was WAY more competition between artists back before streaming.
“I didn’t know what the future had.” Excellent way to put it. always wanted Bubba to make it big & Im glad he’s still doing good. Good to see him on the platform. Keep it up Brotha Bubba that stopping point never 👎 happens you up ⬆️ and up 🆙 it till life comes down and hits you on the face
Deliverance was a classic album! Still one of my favorites that I jam to this day. He's right, that sound of the album was something never done before and represented what i perceived as Bubba's Roots.
I prefer his debut album however Deliverence is a good album.
@@MrEOM41 his debut was good to me however not as compact and focused as deliverance to me
Still bumpin hootnanny huh? Lmmfao 😆 🤣 😂
That album was terrible
@@UCUSmusic not that particular track
I get it that Timbaland wanted to give Bubba an authentic hick hop sound with Deliverance. But continuing the southern street hip hop sound along with his country raps like he been doing, that would've been the better move. That formula was working.
Being experimental on the sophomore album is how you get the sophomore curse. Nah, he should've made a Dark Days Bright Nights Part 2. Not actually call it that, but sonically that.
Deliverance was the right album at the wrong time.
You are right. Bubba Sparks was the South version of Eminem. He was in a lot of hip hop videos when he first came out. However, Deliverance was his downfall because everyone wasn't ready for the country rap.
@@tsaints852
Haystak was the South version of Em 2 or 3yrs before bubba ever stepped on the scene
Deliverance is one of the most underrated albums of its time--and ahead of its time, too.
His 2nd Album was amazing and had its own identity sonically!!!
I think Em lived up to more than whatever Dre had planned for him. Bubba, you did your own thing. I think y’all were just at 2 different places at 2 different times. Timberland is a legend and has hits with not only everyone else but has great hits with Bubba too
Em had the King Maker, Jimmy Iovine behind him....Without Jimmy he woulda been pigeon holed
Calipark Bubba Sparks 🙌 that jam just came to my head 🤣
The Story about being dope sick the first time is very relatable. You don't even know why you sick and that you gonna get sick like that.. Also about putting off like I gotta go to work I get something so I can get through the day
Was bumping BUBBA in high school and the military, word up !
That track They Ain't Ready wit him n Jada still hits from the beat to the lyrics 💯
Was just tellin a friend how slept on this album is/was. Really good album and way ahead of its time. Also, way better than the majority of country rap out today. I was playing Deliverance for like a week straight couple months ago, but I think the album title might have hurt it commercially too. I mean, that movie was a little weird cmon now
Damn Bubba and Timbo had a falling out woow never knew that...Their" Deliverance "album is a master class album
That Deliverance album is absolutely Incredible. I'm a hip hop head from Cali so that sound was old/new to me & still blows me away.
Bubba Sparxxx was definitely on the rise of being the next big thing. I was pulling for him too when he first came out
As a 20 plus year heroin/opioid addict I can honestly say that rattling/withdrawal is about a million times worse than the flu without sleep.. Add the constant sneezing, sicking, shitting, fidgeting, yawning, edgeiness, belly cramps, muscle cramps, etc etc and your still not close because the desperation cannot be put into words.
Yeah, no doubt. The restless legs at night is what was worse for me.
yes sir. So blessed to have made it out
@@32tolife38 yes I call that riding your bike 😂
@@joshuamarsh7098 oh yeah if your well and in recovery then you are blessed bro for sure 🙏👋👋
That song he had with Jadakiss " they don't know" (I think that's the name) on Timbalands beat was 🔥🔥🔥
I'm feeling this bubba sparxx stuff never knew he was such a deep guy
Deliverance is criminally slept on!! Incredible project and gets heavy rotation on my favorite projects list.
This man created my favorite song on this planet, Deliverance.
Dark Days, Bright Nights and Deliverance are still on my playlists.
Deliverance is a top tier album. One of my favorite albums. 💿
Guys really talented. He's got bars and he's got a country spin on it. He's unique.should be treated as such.
Deliverance didn’t get anywhere near the credit it deserved in my opinion. That album was musically and lyrically way better than the sales showed. Great album listen all the way through.
"Comin Round" is actually My FAVE joint on da "Deliverance" Album 💯💯💯💯💯
Best bubba song of all time was a feature with dungeon family ...White gutz, white wall tires...God that song IS A BANGER!
A super honest account. Respect to the man! 👊🏽💚
I always wanted Bubba to blow up like Em, but Deliverance was a true Masterpiece
Ok Vlad is digging deeper and bringing meaningful content again and I Love it
Deliverance is my favorite Bubba Sparks song
Deliverance was a classic bro!👍🏾 We rocked with that joint in VA fosho!
💯 VA stand up!!
Deliverance was INCREDIBLE.... The Charm was also INCREDIBLE
Good interview.
You was always hard as hell to beat on that Def jam fight for New York 😂
Yo...wazzzzup! Man, honesty appreciated, couple laughs for sure...don't worry playa...if it's in you, it's in you...keep pushing, practice, exercise, collab, create buzz, create album, book shows...Go!! Hiphop is life ...one ❤️
Man.... this guy is soooo underrated!!!! I still have that album!!! Aint Life Grand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His explanation of how he'd wake up pop two pills then take a couple shots of Patron shows how most people with a fan base deal with their fame..
Being a popular figure people will expect you to be a certain type of way but behind it all these people are simply just human beings like the rest of us who have had the courage, ability, and luck to put their work out there for the rest of the world to see
Fans however expect them to be a certain type of way and if they don't give them that satisfaction they somehow will be let down by it
This is why most celebrities you look up to either die, end up in rehab, or simply just disappear..🤦
The weak ones ...
@@jrjr668
I wouldn't exactly call it a weakness
Most can't relate to what it's like being famous..Being approached on a daily basis by numerous individuals you've never met before and having to be "On"
That's where the drugs come in, they are no longer just an average person anymore..
Some naturally have the ability to deal with all this new attention some don't..
That’s a really great description and explanation
Man he came hard back in the day an then just disappeared- truly one of those artists that is so under rated , him an kid cudi super underrated
I Can't Read That Name Without My Brain Going 🗣️"BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY ROCKING EVERYWHERE" 😭😭😭😭
I will always love bubba sparks love to hear new music
I appreciated the album I dig the fusion of country and bluegrass I’m sorry everyone else didn’t get or maybe even missed what they were trying to do 🎉one of my secret favorite albums 😅
Bubba is a LEGEND. I miss hearing his voice on songs.
I know that addiction my brother. I’ve been a big fan since 2002.
I had a major knee surgery done and I had never been addicted to anything in my life. But I got them lortabs in my system and was like yo I get these ishes for free and the high feels better then smoking weed and that’s when I knew I fucked up cause that mentality right then and there had me hooked. Just like he said we all knew about what addiction is but no clue about the withdrawals and boy them withdrawals are like a nightmare. I don’t wish that or addiction on anyone I know. I was addicted for 13 years and it robbed me of my melatonin that helps you sleep. I finally got sober and I’ve now been sober for 8 years. Mad respect ✊🏼 too you bubba sparxxx my prayers are with you an may god be with you and keep guiding you through it.
BUBBA IS BACK BUBBA IS A BEAST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never compare yourself to anyone. All journeys are different
Yo DELIVERANCE is one of the GREATEST ALBUMS IN MUSIC HISTORY THANK YOU FOR THAT BUBBA 💪💯
He looks healthy salute to him💪
This is real, He is a awesome person for sharing this story. ❤️
But he never flipped a snow mobile ice fishing in Canada 😂
Dude is real. Always liked him Even from the yelawolf features. Here mainly for the perk addiction conversation don't do pills kids don't smoke weed either.
I still fw Bubba to this day! His music just sounds different! plus he introduced me to Kiley Dean
Man we need to hear from Mike Jones now 🫡 please & gratitude Vlad & crew bc every time I hear Bubba Sparxxx's name I think of who Mike Jones who Mike Jones 😆
Shout out ta bubba he’s not lying I was rite there in the same planet and it is exactly how he describes it!….exactly,,no filter…big s/o to him for being transparent as a mutha!!
Man, I loved this dude back in the day!
I'm bubba's age from Jamaica Queens new York EST 1977 just like Him and Just like Him, I started out calling and thinking of them as God in a bottle it gave me everything I felt I was missing and took my pain away once my long term issues healed up and I was taken off the percs I went through 180 grand in the bank account 50 grand in the safe 17 credit cards and eventually sink down to being totally homeless BUT it was all my own earnings I spent I never stole it begged, one it became time I went to the shelter found a meth clinic and started putting things back together but never got back no 180 in the bank or 50 grand in the safe no 17 credit cards matter of fact I'm still struggling
Keep pushing 🙏💯
"Do you recall the time people loved you unconditionally? Toastin' the New South - 'this one is for history!'" I remember bumping the "Deliverance" song on an old mix CD I made back in college summer 2003, when I did a summer internship in NYC. That was the same time Lumidee's "Never Leave You (Uh Ohh)", Wayne Wonder's "No Letting Go" and Beyoncé's "Crazy In Love" were big hits.
Bubba definitely a legend in his own right.
Coming round is my favorite song of his….bump it til this day
Deliverance is so great that’s a southern song fr
Bubba Sparx was a fav of mine growing up.
I feel Mac Miller succeeded from a commercial standpoint where many other white rappers failed. Before his death, he really amassed a loyal niche fanbase, and was respected by the greats who are black in Hip-Hop. He never sold out, and did his own style.
i miss that guy so much
He did the ultimate sellout and he did have a fan buzz
Bubba speaks just like he raps. He even mentions his slip and fall in the song "Deliverance."
“I be damned if ain’t the slickest sun’gun yall seen, walkin’ like I swallowed up a pharmacy at Walgreens”
The first time I herd bubba was on a track called White Guts by Dungeon Family. My pops used to play the hell out of that song
I remember the first time getting dope sick and not knowing why, and that started 3 years of shear hell getting halfway through withdrawals then giving up and getting right back on it. Clean 7 years now while also in pain management while holding it down, all glory to God
The way man’s expressed how the dope will grab you is true to even think strait about how to maneuver and get off it you need to get high first then once you’re high you start regretting getting high shit is a total mind fuck stay away from drugs man….
Great 11 mins so far. Addiction is no joke…
Vlad audio and video on 🔝💯
Good to see Bubba K getting some love.
Ain't Life Grand is my shit.
This is how it happens I had surgery on my hand in 2002 and they gave me 10 mg oxys for 3 months and then that turned into me buying them off the street and at the time we were getting 30s and 80s ,years long addiction because of hand surgery
Been taking oxycodone 30 mil since 2018 .. Spinal Fusion Surgery is no joke..So if nobody understands Believe me I do ..
I have friends and family that had injuries and was prescribed oxys and got addicted. I've tried them a couple of times in the past but the whole nauseous feeling turned me off thankfully. Opiate addiction is no joke glad you made it through. One of my best friends overdosed and died from that shit.
I was prescribed them at 16 for fibromyalgia n rheumatoid arthritis pain n by 22 I was in full physical dependency
I feel ya Bubba my story is the same. Prescribed pain bills, then addicted for years until I land in jail. Yeah I feel every single word you are saying. Alot of people dont survive that mountain. So kudos, love & respect to you. Your a warrior my brother. Thats a tough battle to fight. Glad you made it my man.❤️🙏🏻
Nice to see artists talk about art for a difference.
met bubba sparxxx at a gas station when i was 8,9. dude was cool asf, gave me a copy of a single he was dropping with timbaland. humble, eyes was red af lol
Yeah, I definitely enjoyed the sound that the "Deliverance" album gave us
Deliverance is a classic frfr! Simply incredible
Bring back Bubba 2023
