Me on Future a few weeks ago: " I will be the first to admit that the sh*t he raps about leaves plenty to be desired, and are subjects that I don't identify with. However, in more ways than folks realize futures musical stylings, (like all black music) are such an interesting reflection of a distinctly West African influence.
Specifically, his use of rhythm, Cadence, tone, and syncopation. The hook in "Commas" is a perfect example of this. His polyrhythmic chant, his use of call and response, even his subtle use of "blue notes" in his delivery is so West African! All of these things are essential to what makes black music unique.
And honestly, I think the most fascinating and beautiful thing about it, is that I bet he has NO IDEA of any of this on any sort of conscious level! Its not on purpose, its not strategic. It simply is in him (us) and he just feels it. As a music person and a student of black music, I can appreicate this! So dope to me."

Here is a sound experiment attempting to extrapolate that, and sorta let you hear what I'm talking about.

Creating this mix was an enlightening experience insofar as, when attempting to best capture my voice as an artist, only my most personal inspirations came to light. I was a sci-fi, anime, gaming buff as a child, before I was seriously into music. So when I stumbled upon the anime "Samurai Champloo" in HS, it should be no surprise that the soulful tones of the late Jun Seba, (Nujabes) caught my ear, and inspired me to take music seriously. In college, I finally put a name to that one producer whose soulful chops, syncopated drums, and subtle baselines had caught my ear growing up. His name was Jay Dee, J-Dilla, and he was from my hometown, Detroit. Unfortunately, he had just died a few years before I would come to know him through his music. That sound, that Detroit sound, that organic sense of timing and rhythm, that eclectic taste for finely aged strings and brass, that feeling is at the root of my sound. It's Detroit's sound. And Detroit wept for Dilla, paying homage to his legacy through keeping the sound that he pioneered alive. Although, it is my personal opinion that as a truly complete artist, Dilla worked through many phases. Furthermore, if he were alive today I believe he would have pushed that sound to the next phase. To my ears, Flying Lotus has done this, and thusly has become one of my biggest inspirations to date. Thank you to all of these artists for sharing your creativity with me.
