YOLO Mention: Beck

I’d definitely go far enough to call him the most innovative artist of our time, even though he’s been in the game since most of us were born. Los Angeles’s very own Beck (born Bek David Campbell) has gone through many phases of sound in his career and didn’t get mainstream credit until the mid 90s. A lot of his songs and beats are remindful of 60s and 70s funk, but sung by a short, skinny white guy that can rap. He mixes rock and roll styles from the past, while throwing in a dancier electronic sound and hip hop vibes. A style that I haven’t seen emulated in the slightest. He’s got several albums ranging from acoustic/rock to electronic remixes of his earlier songs. There isn’t much he can’t do, and you’ll find that in the tracks below.
