DJ Pooh: The Producers

DJ Pooh: The Producers

West Coast pioneer DJ Pooh innovates as the sounds of hip-hop shift. He punctuated King Tee's neighborhood narrative with jarring noise on the spare slice of life "Act a Fool." In the '90s, Pooh looped the Isleys to underline the emotional nuance of Ice Cube's bittersweet "It Was a Good Day." And on Tha Dogg Pound's "Smooth," fat, buzzing basslines and crisp snares soundtracked his region's dominance.
