Lou Scannon
This is Lou Scannon. I come from the old school, but I'm a revolutionary for the new. I'm from the deepest aspects of the underground hip hop world, and the other exteme, hardcore/punk. I aint gonna pretend to be anything I'm not. Here's what you get. I'm the product of the circumstances life has thrust at me. As you will see, my sound and my lyrics just reflect the truth.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I come from all styles of music. I play guitar, bass, and some piano by ear. I produce/co-produce. I'm a writer. I've been on stage at least 500 times as a hardcore singer, guitarist, rap artist, or dj.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We've done lots of shows as a group. I was formally known as Skinner T. from a group called the Bully Crew. I've also done alot of shows with my last hardcore band Murder Machine with Frankie "suitcase" from Obituary. On the Lou Scannon project, I'm only getting started, but I deffinately see myself doing shows where people like me can come hear the real s***!
Your musical influences
I'd say from Wu-Tang, Eric Sermon, KRS-1, Public Enemy, to Agnostic Front, Cro-Mags, Fang, Cancerous Growth. Shit I'm a musician. You put on some David Allen Coe and I'll find something good about it. hahahaha
What equipment do you use?
Akai mpc2000, Roland xp-30, Korg Triton, sb1200
Anything else?
Listen to the cd. Don't f*** around. If you like it we probably have a lot in common. If you don't, your probably like the suckers that like that p**** sh** they play on the radio all the time. F*** that P**** S***!!!!
