Miami Bass#REDIRECTMiami bass Miami bassMiami bass (booty bass, bass music) is a form of music known for deep, throbbing beats, hyperkinetic rhythms and, often, sexually explicit lyrics. It arose in the southern United States, centered on Miami and Orlando, Florida, and elsewhere in Florida, as well as Atlanta and Alabama. Miami bass has achieved little mainstream chart success, though it has won acceptance among US southerners and some northern hip hop listeners, a form to which it is closely related. Musically, its roots can be found in electro (music). The music came into existence as part of Miami's stereo wars, when people tried to out-stereo each other, claiming that they had the loudest, most bass-heavy stereo system in their car. Miami was a hotbed for soul music, which evolve into disco music, but when Henry Stone's TK Records empire folded, it left a void in Miami's music scene. At first, electro became the sound, but as it began running out of steam nationally, Stone found a talent in Amos Larkins, who began recording drum-machine based, mid-tempo rap songs. By 1985, Larkins accidentally sustained the kick drum of the 808 drum machine on a song, and a test copy was given out, causing a reaction. Amos followed this path for a while, causing the industry to follow suit, and forming a new genre in the process - Miami bass. MC ADE's "Bass Rock Express" (1985), which is sometimes seen as the first Miami bass track per se, was co-produced by Larkins. The most famous Miami bass group, however, is 2 Live Crew, known for the censorship efforts surrounding their ''As Nasty As They Wanna Be'' album. The group was formed in Los Angeles, California. Their debut single, "The Revelation" (1985, 1985 in music), was a socially aware examination of poverty and crime, and was influenced by West Coast of the United States Electro (music). Luther Campbell, a record promoter from Miami, made them come to his hometown and turned them into an X-rated group. Their first LP, ''...Is What We Are'', established the Miami bass sound in many listeners (especially in the south), and included raunchy lyrics (such as "We Want Some Pussy"). While 2 Live Crew popularized Miami bass for many listeners, DJ Magic Mike established a significant underground following during the late 1980s. During the 1990s, Disco Rick, Uncle Al, Get Funky Crew, 69 Boyz, 95 South and Quad City DJ's established Miami bass as a commercial and social force in the south, though northern and international success was slim. Miami bass has had a lasting influence on other musical styles, particularly Chicago's ghetto house and Detroit's ghettotech and, to a lesser degree, crunk. ==List of Miami Bass Artists== * 2 Live Crew * 69 Boys * 95 South * Amos Larkins * Anquette * DJ Magic Mike * Jiggie Gee * Luther Campbell * Maggotron * MC ADE * MC Shy D * Tag Team ==External links== * [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Miami_Bass_History Yahoo Group] devoted to chronicling the evolution & formation of Miami bass Hip hop als:Miami Bass Miami bassI reverted back to an earlier version of the article because there were many POV edits about a guy named Amos Larkins. They claimed that he was the "sole creator and pioneer" of Miami Bass, and edited the article to mainly focus on him. I'm from Miami and I've never heard of him to be a "big name" or very influential in the music scene. It's widely excepted that 2 Live Crew along with Uncle Luke/Luke Skyywalker were the pioneers of the genre. There were also many grammatical errors leading me to believe that the person who edited was sloppy and quick, and not interested in producing an accurate, informative addition to the article. User:Milk 20:09, 22 May 2005 (UTC) == This must stop the charades are over == This person claims that he has never heard of me if that it the case. Well then he or she needs to reveal themselves like I am right know I challenge this person to confront me personally and prove this like I have proven myself. Not only that I have left my contact information I also live in Miami and I am willing to speak with this person face to face to argue the point. It is a known fact and everybody knows who I, Amos Larkins II and what part I played in pioneering Miami Bass. If any one needs anymore proof well they can also go to a well know Miami Bass historian who name is PaPa Wheeli who contact is : PappaWheelie@ElectroDiscoPunks.com Also you can contact Paul klien the president of empiremusicwerks a division on Universal music Call me and I will give his information personally. Know I dare the person to personally challenge me Amos Larkins II with this blatant attempt to re-write History. The charades are over I am here to personally set history of Miami Bass in it’s infancy streight once and for all. Who ever you are and I'm almost sure I know exactly who you are because only you would do something so underhanded and low. I Amos Larkins II is not the creator of Miami Bass HUH, I dare you Amos Larkins II famosjamzbeats@netscape.net 1-305-238-1169 1-786-252-7058 Again if anyone disputes what I say call me and I hope you do because I think I know just who you are with I line like then you aren’t from Miami. Also everybody click on my name Amos Larkins II and take a look at my productions :: Larkins, your edits are full of typos first of all. The least you could do is use spell check and write a good addition. Secondly, if Larkins is such a pioneer in the genre how come a Goggle search provides almost no results when you search for his name? How come any other website that talks about the history of Miami Bass does not mention him either. I suggest you stop messing up Wikipedia, and find something else to do with your time, because these "charades" are childish and obviously false. Thanks. - Note to other users, I went ahead and reported this issue on Vandalism in Progress page. - User:Milk 21:07, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC) == STILL THIS PERSON WILL NOT NOT CONFRONT ME == Ok I have taken your advice to get everything grammatically correct. as far as seaching Google, try Yahoo, try Netscape i have never tried Google but i have never had a problem finding my name in the other two search engines. Enough to merly raise the question what exactly did he do? But the point is this I am still who I say I am grammatically incorrect or not. And you want to talk about vandalism.You say you live in Miami but your heading "User:Milk" states the youlive in chicago? anyway I’ve been away from the Miami Bass scene for fifteen years I never knew anybody still had such a follwing or cared until universal music confronted me about doing my Discography and even then i was still blind to the fact Becasue it took me two years to agree to do the project. And because people who had any little thing to do with it were so busy try to claim themselves as the pioneer, the father of the genre Miami Bass, When ever someone who was doing an article or writing a book ask about me everybody act like they didn't know how to find me or made seem like i just came Miami for the weekend like maybe our friend User:Milkdid. heck I never even attempted to put my name or the phrase Miami Bass in a search engine until January of this year 2005 when some writer who was interviewing me suggested that I do so. Because he said that the fans of the genre have no idea what major part I truly played. So only until two months ago me and a few other supporters are starting to streighten the truth out. I am sure that the people at Wikipedia understand that ever scince the begining of history there have always been poeple likeUser:Milk attempting to alter history mistakingly or other wise. I will say this again, in my case the records don't lie and i mean literaly 12 inch records. every serious collector and enthusiast know my pseudonyms better that I do and my sound is unmistakably mine. That alone brands me and locks me in my rightful place in history it self. As far as the typos and grammatical mistakes i apoligize to Wikipedia but please putyourself in my shoes, for fifteen years you think nobody cares,you think to yourself "ah that's over let's move on" you have no idea of the real impact you have made.then as the years go by and everybody who was there even people who should have given you your recognition just mention you like you were just a breeze that went by and then fifteen years later you find out that you are dam near eraseed from history you are disapearing as though yur just a myth. My first reaction was not about grammer it was about keeping myself imortaly alive. getting back what was rightfully mine. I have a professional prove reader handling this for me as we speak and it should be done by this Wednesday 06/08/2005 and i will contact wikipedia when this is done. As far as this personUser:Milkwho claims that he is from Miami and has never heard of me. They still won't revel themselves like I have so the question remains who are the vandals. Oh, and also to answer the question doing something better with my time I am fortunate to say that I do enough music to support my self still. And right now I couldn't think of a better way to spend my time than to straighten out my place in history can you User:Milk? What have you cliam to have done besides attempt to chip away my name off of evey stone in the city of Miami Bass so that i maybe erased from history, so that no one will remember me. i still don't see you reveling your self. I rest my case until the next episode. and i wish that i could meet you face to face. :If you would like to make changes to this article, please make them coherent and sourced. See Wikipedia:Cite your sources. If there are reputable sources confirming your importance in the development of Miami bass, that can be added to this article. Without reputable sources, anything you add may be removed. If you can not provide a reputable source for your claims, then I'm sorry but Wikipedia is not what you are looking for; we can only include information that has already been documented by others in a Wikipedia:Verifiability manner. User:TUF-KAT 20:51, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC) :: What I said was that I'm from Miami, not that I still live there, because yes, I currently live in Chicago. You said you've taken my advice about the grammatical errors, yet your last response is full of them, along with sentence fragments, and general nonsense. I agree with what Tuf-Kat has stated.
