below is arm charlie's response to my break down.
and
here's a little post script of a major point i forgot to
make.
and
at the bottom is his original post.
figure it out.
tanx.

*Overlooked this earlier, but...
What scott has in coming with 'southern'
hip hop/rap is that he uses Electroinics
(drum machine if you break it down)
this is a Major regional style that he shares
with the locals.
you don't find to much 'drummachine/
electronics' production in the west
or east coast these days...
anyway.
