I ain’t choose rhyming, rhyming chose me so I hit the track running like a nose bleed. Bubba used to go hard 💯💪🏾💪🏾
lol that's so deep huh
@@RL-ww5ev it doesn't have to be deep. It's dope. Creative. And was recorded in the yr 2000. But his delivery, breath control, cadence and emotion is flawless.
Still do
Up in here
Ppl Wana overlook em cuz he white or country af but dude really was rappin
I can remember being a 15 year old on a school bus going down to Leander, TX to play my first freshman football game and the bus driver turned on the music and "Ugly" came on. We was hype AF and did them boys (Leander) in. Music like that shaped my teen years and I am forever grateful I got to experience it.
Y’all was hyped then went out there and lost by 30
@@Modeek6 damn you a hater!!
🤡
@@Modeek6 Miserable in life for no reason lol
Kenneth Jacobs you’re handsome are u single 🤷♀️ ashjerz 👻
Dark Days Bright Nights and Deliverance are two very underrated albums. Bubba is an incredible emcee.
Between him and The Game, probably the 2 most underrated rappers imo
@@WhatILearnedUntilNow Game can rap but he's toxic to me
This man has one of the most timeless songs of all time. I hear the song ms new booty every time I’m at the club at some point
Especially if you Georgia or Florida
I was thinking it while watching lol
I like that he constantly checks to ensure I know what he is saying.
😂😂😂
The way he broke down the now and before was exactly on point.
One thing I appreciate about Bubba Sparxxx is that he keeps it 💯 with who he is. He a country whiteboy and know he country whiteboy, and doesn't try to be anything other than country whiteboy who loves hip hop. His lyrics, videos etc all reflect where he from and who he is.
That deliverance album was my childhood
I was literally thinking about Bubba Sparxxx yesterday. Then I find this interview. Glad to see him still doing what he does. Nothing but respect a pure individual. Legend in the game show a lil gratitude lol.
This is lovely. I'm glad to see that Bubba Sparxxx made it through the struggle. Blessings to everyone!!! 🧡
It’s an absolute pleasure hearing this gentleman tell his story
He killed his guest appearances at the time. You ain't ready with kiss still bangs
That song wit Jadakiss 💯💪🏾
Timbaland put it down with that one.
Faxts.
Mans so dope Bubba had to go study to realise he got a compliment 🙌
He’s the man. Loved his flow and delivery . Bubba ain’t nothing to fux with
Cool ass country white boi can’t lie lol
Deliverance is a dope ass song, and the first album was fire. The best thing that happened to Bubba is he was country and other than being white he was on the opposite spectrum of Em. Still bumping Bubba from time to time.
💯💯💯
Man that first album was 🔥🔥 still bumping it till this day!!!
Second album is a production masterpiece
Deadass. I’m black and that’s a classic album in my eyes
@@thecunninlynguist that part!
The way bubba rode that track with Jada was dope as hell they should did some more songs
Best Song on it?
bubba and timbo was sick ass combo, they had bangers and it was authentic, Em was Em and Bubba had his lane.
Yo Bubba and Paul Wall were on point! Em do his thang but those two….maaaaaaaaaan let’s get a duel going!
hell yea fam they was/are still nice! 💯
Yeah they dropped the ball by not collaborating
Bubba was a way better lyricst. It was obvious who wrote the lyrics when PW & Chamillionaire first came out. I can tell Bubba just isn't the kind of extrovert Paul Wall is, which elevated him later in his career. Paul is too much of a clown for my taste, and it's a damn shame Delivirance doesn't get its due. Bubba had a CLASSIC Southern project. And I'm a Texas dud. I'll take a Bubba verse over Walls any day.
“Cuz Eminem’s incredible, but did I really have to say this? For y’all to leave my soul at rest and add me to your playlist?”
Prez thank you coming from id like to think a I’m a loyal viewer. I really really appreciate you giving these guys room to speak without interruption. Im enjoying this interview 100%. May your interview career go to the sky. You deserve your own situation and I’d gladly support it.
Bubba Sparxxx was cool BUT I'm glad he basically said Eminem put him under pressure him after Em's 1st 2 albums went CRAZY!
Get off eminem nuts
dark days bright nights is an underated masterpiece.production by timbaland,and organized noise.
Bubba killed that verse on “White Gutz” *Dungeon Family Album*
Paul wall? He was around in that time frame and is really nice too.
Paul Wall was hard too
Props to Bubba Sparxxx!! He's a true MC!
True that
Indeed!
No
@@kufarimahdi9636 Yes
@@kufarimahdi9636 yb fan lol
The way bubba rode that track with Jada was dope as hell they should've did some more songs
That cemented him in my memory.. I had him with a verse up over Jada. Good flow was 🔥asf
@@PancakeDiaries that was unexpected out of no where Collab chemistry was good and to me it's a classic song I honestly could bump a whole album of that
@@PancakeDiariesyour smoking the same stuff he did. He was nice for sure but his verse was not over jadas. 💨
@@lifeisgreat1718 I'm 38... I've yet to hear the growth in Jada's music, so yeah. Having the raspy voice isn't enough for me... I'm big on subject matter, and back then kiss rapped about the same shit on damn near every beat, period. The "love and the hate" bars are never varied like that... He's not trash, but far from a top 5 rapper for me, personally.
@@PancakeDiaries you’re entitled to your opinion. However you are the vast minority who feels that way.
Bubba is the first person ever to admit they liked Vanilla Ice back then. It's like he said, who the heck bought those million records then?
I love me some Bubba Sparxxx. I'm from NYC, and this dude is one of the illest to ever grace a microphone, white, black or orange.
\
We all bumped Vanilla back in the day, we’ll that one song.
Bubba been dope. He did the whole soundtrack of the movie Without A Paddle. Like his whole 2nd or 3rd album under Timbaland. I always thought that was dope. And the DF affiliation was super dope. I remember when Witchdoctor said “Hip Hop where only the dopest white boys can enter!” That was true around that time.
I never knew that Bubba was apart of the Dungeon Family wow!!!!
Bubba Sparxxx was pretty dope but before him, Milkbone with "Keep it Real" was on repeat.
That’s one of the best Hip-Hop boom bap beats I ever heard. That beat hard asf 🔥
Pure hip hop
@@derekgoodejr8788 Boom bap??? Wtf that mean sir Lol
@@chris-cy5ed Boom Bap is a certain type of beat noticeably in the drums and the kick which is mostly known on the east coast.
Hardest beat ever
The homies would bump bubbas music in the hood. Never Eminem, not even once. This is why I can never have anyone back that says em is a goat.
So that’s the bench mark to be a goat if Niggas in yo hood know them 🙄😂😂 small thinking homie ! Here I am thinking a person in Africa knowing you means something 😂😂😂
marshall Mathers LP got a lil play one of my top 10 albums but Bubba hit different and was everywhere in the hood on that 1st album! 💯
@@truBoxingfan if an artist can reach out to a wide range of people, then yes. If an artist is so diverse and creative that their brand is undisputably welcomed to a wide range of consumers, then yes, goat status must be acknowledged. However, if said artist has a certain style (mommy issues) that some can't even endure, then no, that artist cannot be classified as a goat if they are not widely accepted. Now this isn't a color thing either, because like I said, bubba was bumped in the hood my mans lil Whyte was bumped, hell remember Stagga Lee? He was bumped too.
@JD aww shit I forgot Paul wall 🤦🏾♂️
@@Dr_Fuzz But how many white rappers other than Eminem, that get mentioned as an influence from artists in our culture?
Kendrick Lamar, J.Cole, Tyler The Creator, Kevin Gates, Big Sean, Jucie Wrld, Chance The Rapper. Danny Brown, Logic, and many more rappers listed Eminem as an influence. I think Travis Scott probably the only notable rapper that said Paul Wall influence him, but other than that, I never hear anybody from the culture that cited Paul or Bubba as an influence.
Em, Bubba and Paul Wall (honorable mention Lil Wyte) are the most respected white mc's in the game. And I already know y'all have a whole barrage of white rappers that you can run down but, simply put, they not them.
HAYYSTACKX
R .a the rugged man
Man Wyte was hard
yelawolf
The South’s Favorite white boy!!! Bubba say “ I ain’t chose to rhyme, rhyming chose me” that’s when we knew
Bubba was ok, but give me Haystack any day.
finally someone admitting that liked vanilla ice
Thanks for sticking with it Bubba💥s
Bubba’s first album was 🔥🔥🔥
Im never afraid to admit that i fkd wit Vanilla Ice...homie was dope af in 1990, and i was 10yo
Bubba Sparxxx is definitely legit he could’ve gone a lot further. Unfortunately he got addicted to drugs for a very long time.
Shut up
He also said some really stupid things about black people and black culture while they embraced him. If he changed the substance a little bit he probably could’ve gone further it wasn’t just the drugs.
His whole ethos is being a white guy in a predominantly black culture that’s so played. He even talks about it in the interview.
@@vastapathy what he say
@@vastapathy what'd he say about black people? Not that it matters, white kids buy all the music anyways
The song ugly popped into my head the other day at work.
Miss new booty definitely got stuck in my head from time to time.
Vlad is happy as hell that Bubba Sparx has an Eminem story lmao. He was like "Oh snap get this out ASAP, no TI"
Maaaaaan...2023 is off to a GREAT start. Love and Respect To Bubba and Prez ❤️💪🏾
They ain’t ready with jadakiss is ridiculous bars man still bump that shit to this day 💪
Aint see this coming
He held his own rhyming with jadakiss
Don't forget "Everlast"
Dark days bright lights was dope af
I remember his local CDa Friend of mine was trying to manage him and he played us the CD and I remember we had a show together with a bunch of local groups at a small auditorium and it was only five people in the audience and 4 of them was Bubba's friend and the 5th person was my best friend lol....and a year later Bubba was signed to interscope
Gibberish Eminem was right. Bubba deserved to have made it, regardless of his race!!!!!!! Bubba's first 3 albums are either great or classics.
He’s a genuine dude
♥Bubba Sparks. Great songs. Real talent. Cool dude.
No lie, Ugly was the thing when i was in H.S. early 2000's with tim on the beat.💯
To answer the first question…”It was Bubba’s moment, he put his Momma on it”…what more need I say?
He said his mama it's seems is if he loves her don't it
I like how he breaks this down
Bubba is my dawggg

Already did
Thanks so much
Good shit
My lil cuzo loved Bubba when we were kids
I bumped Deliverance so much when it came out
No knock on him, but I had no idea he was still making music. As to the Vanilla Ice comment, the Beatie Boys were worldwide and bigger than Vanilla Ice ever was.
Nice of Em to say that too him. . It's a Shane Bubba didn't go further in his career.
Last I heard he was doing stuff with Yelawolf and doing all them white guy hickhop circuits
Bubba was spittin'.....he knew his lane
Bubba & Eminem on a track, bananas!!!
Man we had studios in the house in the early 90's in Dallas.
Id argue that it is easier to put music out now BUT that also means way more competition
I'll never understand the Em comparison. Even back then. Bubba was a unique rapper. Came up during the whole Southern wave. His verse on Archie Eversole -We Ready was classic. Played at hell a football games in my Texas home town.....the comparison to Paul Wall was more comparable, but Bubba was a way much better lyricst.
Lol you fucking knobhead stop the hate look at this guy then look at em who u think made it
@@jasonbarber4661 You slow? I said the Em comparison shouldn't be made.
@@Mj-kb6ig my bad bro red it wrong
This world is a stage. We are all being decieved and distracted by these celebrities!
Making your rounds I see….
You ain't lying.
This is the truth man lies on top
Of lies
Explain? You mean by Illuminati/satanists or NWO?
Bubba you didn’t have Dre and thats why Em was on Top
Real talk
He had Timbaland
@@chyname and Organized Noize
@@chyname true that but dre had more influence in the industry I guess
Besides the shock Jock shit
Em also had real emotion, real pain and real struggle that millions upon millions that can empathize and connect with . That's the key to his success , longevity and relevance and him maintaining it.
Bubba is awesome.
i aint gon lie...bubba can be longwinded as fukk, but he do paint a vivid picture without really trying and u can sense a curtain level fo genuineness in his approach.
What that mean long winded
There are pros and cons to both then and now. But overall, now is better. Just for the simple fact, greedy major labels are being cut out of the picture.
Bubba was fire. I remember listening to him back then. He's lyrical too. Unlike alot of the bs SoundCloud rappers today.
lil Whyte somewhere punching the air rn 😂
Facts lol
I like this guy👏🔥
Deliverance probably a top 10 favorite rap song.
Eminem gave him a shout out on the song My Darling on Relapse:Refill
All the producers saw dr Dre’s success with Eminem, everyone tried to put out a white rapper. Even Malibus Most Wanted was a movie about whiteboys trying to fit in the hip hop culture. Shit, I remember one fall in school all these white boys I hadn’t seen since the previous school year came back to school dressed all different. 😂😂😂
Malibu was a bully / hater ass movie look at W.
B.oyz now got the culture on Lock post malone , the other dood G Eazy , aloot of M.F. W.byz shiiiiiiiiiii
F.
Look at Kentucky boy big jack Hardlow shiiiiit they got alot of coochie toochie tootsie rolls too lil roochie watcha talkin???
I wish he would do a track wit Paul wall
That track ugly was so 🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Cuz Eminem incredible but did I really have to say this/ For you to leave my soul at rest and add me to your playlist?"- Bubba
Fun fact: Bizarre from D12 is in the "Ugly" video (The muddy pig pen scene in the 2nd verse)
💪🏾💪🏾
This man has some songs that aged well, wouldn't mind him dropping something in 2023
I like what Bubba and Timbaland were doing during the early 2000s, but I felt he belonged with the Dungeon Family. HIs whole country style during that time was just different coming from a White boy.
They should’ve did a album together
At least a song.. back then in their prime
They thought bubba was going to be the next Eminem 😂
Lil Whyte really was the first white southern artist to break the mold
Agree to disagree fam
COLLIE PARK BUBBA SPARXXX!
In 2000 Texas was jamming Paul Wall
He is definitely grooving on the fentanyl... I can see it with the shades 😎 lol... Hope he gets the help he needs before it is to late...
Fentanyl? 😳
My MuthaPhunkin Brother ❤💪🏾💯🫡♾️ Big Bubba😂
This my favorite white rapper and haystax .
The higher power shit on me to cast me out and I learned to rise above influence in the system.
Kid Rock was signed by the BDP crew and then put out an album on jive with too short & D Nice as producers. That and the album after it (the polyfuze method) was and remains the illest, realest white boy hip hop ever put out. Rhymed in his own accent.. in the process becoming one of, if not arguably the most influential artist for eminem. (look it up if ya doubt it)
I got a heavy hitters bubba demo on Beale street in Memphis and that junt was bumping. Then his airplane track was playing when I was tooooooo drunk in the backseat. So he's in me.
💪💯👏
