Influences: The Whole West Coast movements and Era's with Black Panthers, Chicano Movement, West coast jazz, Rap, Poetry, Electronic Music, The Mass West Coast Martial arts, punk, funk, Movements for rights, and the Arts that was formed on the West coast for example Bill Walsh's "West Coast Offence".
Also The Dirty South, James Brown, Curtis Mayfield, El chicano, Brenton Wood, Tupac, Biggie, Outkast, Muhammed Ali, Cesar Chaves, Bruce Lee, Mac Dre, E-40, Nas, Goodie Mob, J-Dilla, Wu-Tang Clan, The Rza, Prince Paul, Dj Primo, George Clinton and Funkadelic all those old School Funk Rap that has help build and develop that rhythmic 4/4 hiphop beat that is now the dominant music through out the whole world, Along with post-disco funk Music. Barry white, Darryl White, Issac Hayes, Ms. Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix etc. etc. There is just too much artist to name. The list just goes on and on and on and on.
The whole West Coast rap/Hiphop has died tremendiously with the death of tight producing companies and basically money buying out everybody. When the west was one it was unstoppable. The feel of this rhythm was unbelievable but time has change as what the I-Ching would say.
I have got great love for the East coast and the rest of the world but the music that is coming out of my region needs to improve (in my eyes). The radio plays nothing but mostly garbage. Whoever pays the most monies will get there radio play. This is ridiculous. This is a form of social control. There are kids out here listening to sex and drugs, wack rhythms, tracks that suck thinking they are tight. And they grow up thinking different music is tight when it really is just programmed into there head. These are corporate tactics that need to be supressed.
So now it is a good thing we have the internet. It is going to be quite easier for an independent artist out there to get there music heard and make a business out of it. I advise every future artist to be there own independent artist because that is the way to go if you dont want to be controlled by someone telling you "you cannot sleep", "do that note over this way", or "we dont think that song is suitable" after you put your whole heart into it. And also if you dont want them to take most your profit, time, and life.
There has been books I have read on artist that has said "they did not want me to record this track with this company, but when I moved to this other company and they let me try it, it was a top chart hit".
So now let's move it to the indie's that are a little more consious and more ambitious to work with themselves and with third parties. These artist will provide a nonstop new sound and will hire the major record companies only to distribute nothing else. And then prosper for a lifetime hopefully.
THIS IS THE BAY AREA "MY BLOCK" REPRESENT!
