Juvenile was the first of the bunch to hit it big; his album, "400 Degreez," still hovers near the top of the charts nearly a year after its release (see [article id="1430728"]"Juvenile Cracks The Top Ten"[/article]).

As he recently told MTV News' Chris Connelly, one reason his album and current single, "Back That Thang Up," are so popular is because they incorporate the "bounce sound," which Juvenile says he invented.

[article id="1446412"] "I'm still doing it. That's really what 'Back That Thang Up' is, that's bouncing,"[/article] Juvenile told Connelly. [article id="1446412"] "That's why it's so successful. Because everybody know that I invented it at a very young age. Sometimes I tend to go back and mess with it a little bit. I'm using that since it's

mine, can't nobody take it from me. I'm always gonna use that. That's just me. I am bounce." [RealVideo][/article]
