TOO MANY TO LIST!!!

its gotta be RJ hands down. I mean deadringer was ill, but after hearing the diversity on since we last spoke and seeing him live, i was inspired. Something about seeing a skinny white guy busting out soulful funky tunes that made me feel like i wasn't a pretender (being middle class white australian and all)

Have to also give a nob to madlib, shades of blue gave me the balls to attack some of the classic jazz albums i had dusting up in my room.

And i think handsome boy needs some props for not taking themselves seriously but still producing some wicked tunes

hahaha make that a "nod" to madlib, i mean- i aint THAT big a fan

The Unseen - Quasimoto

Timbaland and Magoo's "Welcome to our World" and "Indescent Proposal" were the albums that really made me want to make beats. I have always been in love with music but I had no idea what production was. I always felt Timbaland's music on a different level than anyone elses music. It was connection that most of ya'll made at some point with some producer's music. Ya'll know!

The groups/songs that FIRST got me to want to produce was:

UNCLE JAMS ARMY
EGYPTIAN LOVER - my #1 idol.
Jamie Jupitor - Egyptian Lover was so good that no one on the west coast could compete with him so he made a competition name for himself and sold records under that name to COMPETE with himself - song was COMPUTER AGE (push the button) old school b-boyz/b-girlz know this song well.
Egypt Egypt
Livin on the Nile
Clear and R-9 by Cybotron (missy elliots music makes you lose control)
Pretty Tony Butler - my #2 idol.
Al-Naafish - Hashim
George Clinton
Twilight 22
Afrika Bambaataa
Soul Sonic Force
Tour de france and Numbers by Kraftwerk
10 speed and their remix of tour de france
Tony Gonzalez and Joe Cooley from KGFJ in L.A.

Yeah, I just told my age, so what.
