None,but since i rhyme i figured i needed to learn how to produce and mix.I don't want to depend on anyone for anything.I know i'll have to get stuff mastered but that's inevitable.But i do have to get cats to support so i will need fans.Also gotta learn the industry but that's more research than anything else.

There are many albums but 2 stand out The first Chronic by Dre and Enter the 36 chambers Wu tang. So different yet both are tasty everytrack. Too bad i was about 13 and broke as hell i could've gotten started with drum machines and samplers alot earlier!

Yea man... Premo flipped that Johnny Dankworth sample... That's one of my favorite Gangstarr tracks...

"I leave scientists mentally scarred,
Triple extra large,
Wild like rockstars who smash guitars..."

Deck killed it on that track too...
