Sideways

If you don't know who that man is up there then give up. "In a Major Way" was E-40's first album with his group "The Click", released in 1995, it started the saga of Charlie Hustle. Since then, dude has invented millions of words, released a bunch of good records and has perfected one of the most recognizable voices in rap music. He's even opened a Fat Burger. Anyways, take a listen to some early Earl Stevens.

Desynchronized

Deadmau5 is a tech/trance/house from Toronto (via Niagara Falls). He got his first mjor exposure in 2007 when a copy of his "Faxing Berlin" got into the hands of Pete Tong. Since then He's been relasing singles and remixing left and right. He also started his own record label Mau5trap recordings and is bound to drop his album sometime this year. Oh yeah and Tiesto loves him and he works with Tommy Lee on his WTF? project.
Anyways, he recently put out this track alled "Desynchronized" which takes his sound into a new realm with progressive pitching and feedback.

Zapp & Roger Troutman

Zapp was formed in 1978 by the 5 Troutman brothers. They churned out a series of hits and basically inspired the west-coast G-funk sound mainly because of Roger Troutman's unparalleled and incredibly impressive use of the talkbox. Actually, the other night I was playing some zapp songs and this guy kept coming up to me and enthusiastically asking "What's the name of this beat!? This is some real west coast shit!"
Zapp found most of their fame in the 1980's mainly because of Roger's composition "More Bounce To The Ounce" and sold their first album platinum.
They scored a number one spot on the R&B Charts in 1982 with "Dance Floor" and by 1985 had over four gold records.
The 1990's led way to many rap artists sampling Zapp's work, for instance EPMD's "You Gots To Chill" and of course everyone can recognize Roger's talkbox on 2Pac's "California Lovin'"
Zapp disbanded in 199 after Larry Troutman killed his brother Roger and then killed himself.
However, Zapp's sound lives on and their songs are still some of the best dance records of all time.

Trouble Man

And you thought Marvin Gaye was only a singer.
In, 1972 he composed the soundtrack for one of the first blaxploitation movies called "Trouble Man". The film was part of the blaxploitation boom along with "Superfly", "Shaft", "The Mack" and others. This is one of the pieces he composed for the film.
