I was diggin' in the crates and pulled out this record called Bass Machine by T LA ROCK. Most of you wouldn't remember this song but it is available on i-tunes. Anyway, the producer of the song, MANTRONIX could be the original king of Crunk. I say that because of the way he programmed the TR-808. I can hear a lot of his influences today in the music of MANNIE FRESH, SHORTY RED, DRUMMER BOY, and a lot of others. The only difference is the bpms are a lot slower now. Find the record and tell me what you think

that shit is ill lol, id use the instrumental today if i could find it...on a mixtape or something, but yea i can hear by the crowd noises, and the snare rolls what ya talkin bout, i like music from that time period. niggas made beats with 3-4 sounds and just rocked em out.

I feel you man. Most people think I'm crazy when I say he may have gave life to the Dirty movement a long time ago. But it's true.

He fueled the fire behind Mannie Fresh's sound. I'm close to a cat who used to be on the bus with CMR and he said thats all Mannie would listen to. He didn't really listen to current music, just Man-Tronics.

Fresh Is The Word was my shit!!!

I would be proud if I was Mantronix. I would also be getting it right about now. I hope he drops a few new joints like The 45 King came back and did Hard Knock Life for Jay Z and Rick Ruben when he did 99 problems for Jay Z. Classic records.
