DJ. MOTIV8////FROM 89/90 T091NOTHING OUT AT THE TIME SOUNDED LIKE WHAT WE WERE DOING, NOTHING OR NOBODY.
Influences: WE INFLUENCED
Sounds Like: THE SUBJECT MATTER AND SOUND IS SKULLISTICAT SOME POINT IN THE GAME TREACHEROUS THREE(GOTTA' ROCK) AND FEARLESS 4(PROBLEM'S OF THE WORLD TODAY) BROUGHT ABOUT UNORTHADOX STYLES AND LYRICAL CONTENT. THIS SEEMED TO INFLUENCE JUST-ICE, T-LAROCK(SPECIAL K'S BROTHER) , KRS1, THE ULTRAMAGNETIC M.C.S,NICE AND SMOOTH, RAKIM AND DE LA SOUL AND CHUCK D. THESE PARTICULAR RAPPERS DARED TO USE A BROADER VERNACULAR . THEY DARED TO BRING INTELLECTUAL, METAPHORIC,POLITICAL, ISLAMIC SPIRITUAL AND 5% DOGMA INTO THE ALREADY RAN DOWN SESSPOOL OF EGO/MATERIALISM IN HIPHOP. WITH ULTRA AND DELA FOR ME IT WAS A CONFIRMATION TO ALL IN HIPHOP THAT IT WAS TIME TO INNOVATE AND INVENT A NEW PATH IN HIPHOP. LIKE IN PEOTRY-LINES DIDN'T HAVE TO RHYME IN ORDER TO HAVE MEANING. WORDS COULD BE CRYPTIC IN ORDER TO STIMULATE THE MENTAL. FORMATION IN THE FLOW COULD BE MADE COMPLEX BUT STILL ONBEAT. SOME SUCKA'S WOULD SAY THAT ULTRA AND DE LA RHYMED OFFBEAT WHICH WAS BULLSHIT. IT WAS OVER SOME HEADS. I'M SPEAKING FOR MYSELF AS FAR AS INFLUENCE-THE SONG "MENTALLY MAD". IT GET'S NO ILLER THAN THAT. STILL AHEAD OF IT'S TIME. THE LEGENDS THAT I MENTIONED ABOVE MADE WAY FOR ALL OF US TO BE CREATIVE AND GO OUTSIDE THE BOX OF THE RECORD INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS. I REMEMBER WHEN CHUCK DID A VERSE WITHOUT RHYME ON "MY UZI WEIGHS A TON" AND I KNEW THAT IT WAS A WRAP. DON'T GET SHIT TWISTED- ME AND MY CREW MADE OUR OWN THING UP-DON'T GET IT TWISTED..........
J BRILLA ROCK ON
