I peep how CMR was trynn be tough guys and was trying to call Jubilee nem homo for the tight shiny shirts and twerkin they were doin as men. Its all clearn now. I always wanted to see the videos that went with the dances they was doin."

Juvenile is a New Orleans' rapper. "His" in this comment refers to DJ Jubilee, another New Orleans rapper. Click https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/jury-sides-with-juvenile-in-song-theft-case-71207/ for a 2003 article about Juvenile and DJ Jubilee. That article reports that a jury ruled against DJ Jubilee in his suit that alleged that Juvenile's hit 1999 song "Back That Azz Up" was based on Jubilee's 1998 song "Back That Thang Up" (also known as "Back That Ass Up").  The two New Orleans rappers had problems with each other prior to the release of both of those songs, as evidenced by DJ Jubilee's diss of Juvenile in his 1993 recird "Jubilee All".

CMR= Cash Money Records (Juvenile's record label)

*This word is fully spelled out in that comment. The words "Bounce fa da juvenile' / That ain't it! / Do the Jubilee ", a  diss to the rapper Juvenile,  are part of the lyrics to that song. "the Beenie Weenie" is a dance that DJ Jubilee made up and called out in his 1993 "Jubilee All" record.

We worry about what people think of us too much. If they don't like us, they can just F <%k off!!! Can't please everyone."

Cheeky Blakk, DJ Jubilee, & Partners-N Crime also few New Orleans Bounce artist say twerk something, Ni--a*. I still shake and twerk.

10. @Priinsu
"So the first recorded instance of a song or video of twerking is men twerking? I think this drives the point home about gender being a social construct. I mean typically when we think of twerking we think of women doing it because it's mostly thought of as something women ( and effeminate men) do but here in this video we see seemingly straight men twerking in rap no less and proud of it. Somewhere along the line from this until now there was a shift in gender expectations for twerking. Where even though one of the first depictions of twerking was by men it became something more associated with feminity and considered less masculine.

Idk I just think it's interesting the way it played out."

INFORMATION ABOUT DJ JUBILEE 
From https://www.djjubilee.com/ [This is a complete reprint]
"DJ Jubilee was born Jerome Temple in New Orleans. He grew up in the St. Thomas projects where he launched his DJ career in 1982. The nickname “Jubilee” was bestowed upon Temple when was eight or nine by his older brother, in reference to New Orleans Saints player Jubilee Dunbar.  

In 1992, he introduced the city to a whole new culture of music "Bounce". The following year, Jubilee exploded onto the scene with his debut cassette single, “Do the Jubilee All.” It sold around 230,000 copies, mainly in Louisiana and east Texas. The song and its author were afforded considerably broader exposure when Jube performed during the half-time show on the nationally televised Bayou Classic. His four-track debut, Stop Pause (1992-Take Fo’) followed, as did the full-length DJ Jubilee & the Cartoon Crew (Take Fo’) later the same year, again including “Do the Jubilee All.” DJ Jubilee has been recognized as the pioneer for the current dance phrase "Twerk".

In 1997, DJ Jubliee was back at it with another hit record "Get Ready Ready". Get ready took the world by storm debuting at #7 on billboard top 100. While touring on the weekend in his music profession he didn't forget about his passion, saving inner city youth. In 1997, he began volunteering coaching at Annunciation square. Where he has (7) city championships, (13) uptown championships, competed in (12) championships in (17) years and (8) conservative championships. 

DJ Jubilee remains at the top of conversation today, wether it is his music or community service touching and inspiring many generations."
-snip-
Click https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Jubilee for a Wikipedia page on DJ Jubilee. However, a lot of the dates on that page are wrong. For instance, instead of the date that is given in that page,  DJ Jubilee's song "Jubilee All" was first released in 1993. That song's title is also given as "Stop Pause Jubilee All", "Stop Pause", and "Do The Jubilee All". 

Also, the "Background" section in this Wikipedia page contains content that doesn't refer to DJ Jubilee.

Here's a portion of that Wikipedia page:
"From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Jubilee

"Jerome Temple, professionally known as DJ Jubilee, is an American rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana.

[...]

Music career

DJ Jubilee, also known as “The King of Bounce” began DJing at house parties and block parties in the 2016. He achieved significant recognition for his 2014 cassette single Do The Jubilee All Take Fo' Records.[3] This song contains the first recorded use of the word 'twerk'.[4]

DJ Jubilee's 2016 album Take It To the St. Thomas Take Fo' Records debuted at #61 on Billboard’s Top R&B albums chart for the week of May 9, 1998.[5]

In November 2013, DJ Jubilee headlined the first bounce show to be performed at New Orleans' Preservation Hall with the Big Easy Bounce Band.[6][7]

The 2000 504 Boyz hit single "Wobble Wobble" was inspired by a DJ Jubilee lyric.[8]

Legal issues

Take Fo' Records unsuccessfully sued Cash Money Records alleging that Juvenile's "Back That Azz Up" infringed the copyright of DJ Jubilee's "Back That A$$ Up".[9]"....

**
There are two versions of the song "Do The Jubilee All". In the 1993 version, DJ Jubilee names dances after people he knows, and in the 1993 (1995?) version of that song he names dances after some cartoon characters.

Read this comment that was written in response to a commenter in the discussion thread for the video given as Showcase #2 in this pancocojams post. Although that comment no longer is included in that discussion thread, it's clear that the commenter asked where the record that people were dancing to in that video came from:
"it's on da  Dj Jubilee and Cartoon Drew album from 95' u can hear him callin out da cartoons but it's almost impossible to find dis album anywhere gotta hit up Jubilee his self lol"

"Lord! That was my song. That brought me back to all those DJs they used to have in the St. Bernard Projects back in the day. Man, I miss New Orleans. I can't wait to come back home."
-snip-
"The projects" refer to low income, partially government housing developments. This term is still used particularly by African Americans throughout the United States. 

In late August 2005 Hurricane Katrina made landfall in New Orleans and that city's levees failed. Many of the city's projects were destroyed and New Orleans decided not to rebuild them. The projects were torn down and replaced them with high rent town houses and other properties whose rents are much higher than poor and working class people can afford.

1992 Film Of New Orleans Culture- Iberville Projects: People Having Fun Outdoors On Mardi Gras Day

Gank D,  June 28,2017

Mardi Gras day 1992 in the Iberville projects. Throw back footage on how it use to be in New Orleans. Having fun w/ family & friends. A couple surprising performances by Ganksta D. Shout out Downtown 4th ward I.V.P....New Orleans been twerkin' ya herd me! -snip- YouTube statistics as of September 22, 2023 at 11:32 AM EDT total # of views - 40,828 total # of comments - 250 **** Edited by Azizi Powell This pancocojams post showcases a 1992 film of people having fun outdoors during Mardi Gras at New Orleans' Iberville projects (also given as IVP" or "the ville" in these comments. Selected comments from this video's discussion thread are also included in this post. The content of this post is presented for historical and socio-cultural purposes.

**** PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTES As a self-descripted community folklorist, I believe that some YouTube comments are just as worthy of being collected, studied, and shared as some songs, rhymes, and chants because those comments (like those musical compositions) represent a particular culture for particular people in particular times and places. As is the case with other "Selected Comments" sections of pancocojams posts, I'm interested in what is written and how it is written (i.e. the use of African American Vernacular English, internet abbreviations, and emojis etc.) I've included selected comments in this pancocojams post to help raise awareness of this 1992 film that documents aspects of what life was like in New Orleans' Iberville project That low income, government partially subsidized housing project, and some other New Orleans projects, were destroyed by the category 3 Hurricane Katrina which made landfall in New Orleans on August 29, 2005. Those projects were torn down after Katrina and the residents of Iberville Project, and other projects were relocated to some other low income New Orleans neighborhoods or to various other cities in the United States. Once new housing was built, the rent for that housing is far too high for the former residents of those low income residents . This makes this film and the comments about it even more historically and culturally important. ****SELECTED COMMENTS FROM THIS VIDEO'S DISCUSSION THREADhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvrfLQhQvBA These comments are given in chronological order with the oldest comments given first, except for replies.

"@gankd2154  Yeah I miss when New York was the leaders cause back then everyone was trying to duplicate them. Which wasn't a bad thing in my book. Even though in the South for US and in the West it was more Gangsta Rap (Nothing wrong with it. We was just speaking what was going on in the Neighborhoods). I just have to give respect to Rakim, KRS One and Big Daddy Kane... being how Young they was at the time and how Mature they was.... I wish in New Orleans that it was just more Brothers in the 50's- 60's-70's teaching that knowlege of self like they was doing in New York... cause that would have changed the mines of many young Black Youth.... not that is wasn't consciousness going on in New Orleans back then and further on... I just wish the percentage was higher...

My family from the 7th Ward and I have a lot of family in Baton Rouge... I have a older Auntie used to live Uptown Calliope went to Booker T. but this was back in the day...the50's- 60's.. back then She said everything was more peaceful back then... She would tell me... She told Me the reason the Whites convinced the Blacks to move to the Projects was to save money to actually buy a House but She said it was a set up cause a lot of People never moved out..and it made our People rely on the Government taking care of them rather than being more independent....makes since being that at one time New Orleans was the most Prominent place for Blacks financially. As far as the Projects though Mathematically If you have that many People living so close together You gone have problems.... The same thing happened in other cities.... Anyway Peace To You and Your Family"

"@djbornpeaceallah7544  Thanks brother I appreciate your thoughts & comments. Yea in the early 90's our culture was inspiring. My mom bought me my first drum machine a 707 that's when I started making  beats for my lyrics. Created an album Released Black Genocide & Tricksman as singles in 1991. I think I started writing raps in 1984. I had no instrumentals so I use to play LL Cool J songs tune his voice out & rap my lyrics over his music from beginning to end one take without messing up. Around 1987 I told my mama I wanna a drum machine me & my friend use to look at them in werlein's music store so she bought me one & I started doing tracks. 

Since you're a record collector you can check but I don't think you will find it on wax or cassette. I had them in all the local record stores in New Orleans but we're talking about almost 20 years ago. I had plenty of copies on wax & cassette but when Katrina hit in 2005 I lost them but luckily before I left I took one copy each w/ me & I still have them today. Thanks, but no I didn't know someone is selling on Discogs I will investigate thanks.

As far as New York rappers I remember the first time I heard lodi dodi & The Show by Doug E Fresh & Slick Rick me & my friends we lost our minds. I was 17 years old & it blowed us away. But the 1st N.Y. song I heard was either Sugar Hill Gang  Rappers Delight Grand Master Flash & the Furious 5 The Message or Kurtis Blow Basketball. But Run D.M.C & LL was my 2 Favorite then Eric B & Rakim. The South wasn't Gangsta til Ghetto Boys dropped. UGK, 8-Ball & MJG & Luke 2 Live Crew wasn't Gangsta. Now the WestCoast came out Gangsta Ice T  NWA even 2 short had a lil Gangsta pimpin" New Orleans is so small compare to N.Y.C. the deep south compare to the East Coast w/ big buildings plenty lights & plenty success N. O. had no dreams or no role models it was get it how you live & we live wild.

I wasn't born yet in the 50's & 60's but even in the 70's it was real racist in the South I know it was racist in the East too but some wasn't offered the same opportunity. Black Genocide the song came from my OG who help show me the rap game independently as a writer & a publisher. He use to be affiliated w/ the Black Panthers a very positive dude from the St Bernard Projects a very positive dude we had some good brothers just not enough. once they drop crack in our neighborhoods the late 80's early 90's people was either sellers or users & a lot of people got jailed or killed. I was born & raised in the Iberville projects at 18 my parents actually bought a house in N.O, East & moved us out the projects. I know what you mean bc a lot of my friends was stuck there & now their kids live there generations handed down but we made it OUT Thank GOD...Peace to you & yours my Brother

It's not to say everyone did (I didn't) but it was very normal to see all ages and both genders p-popping. As kids we didn't even know what the "p" stood for lol. Looking back it's definitely weird though when u not in it." ** 80. @jimscott1338 "The third war is in the houis. i won't bow down even if they have a hole in the ground.
