My step mom was an art student in the late 80s and step dad was into funk and soul and both parents were into classic rock and older country.
My Step moms stuff had the most effect on my music though. My favorite bands are The Clash, The Dickies, The Dead Kennedys. It was punk rock that actually got me into Hip Hop through (that and skateboarding) because to me groups like Public Enemy, NWA, and the WU are straight version of those groups.
Its cool because its had a big effect on my music but not in the way that most would think. My shit is really boom bap drums wise, cuz punk drums are the boom bap drums of rock. I try and make really crazy sound on top of those through samples and synths due to my infatuation with the echoplex in Dead Kennedys, and the weird shit in Dickies music.
Rarely play my guitar though which is weird cause I played guitar for eight years before making beats, and played in punk band when I first started makin beats.
