3rd Bass – The Gas Face
Biography
3rd Bass were a rap group in the late 1980s and early 1990s, notable for being one of the first interracial rap groups in history. Like the Beastie Boys, 3rd Bass helped prove that white rap was viable both critically and commercially.
MC Serch (Michael Berrin), Pete Nice (Pete Nash) and DJ Richie Rich (Richard Lawson) were the three founding members of the group. Richie Rich was a local d.j. and is African-American, Nice was a student at Columbia University and hosted a hip hop show on WKCR. MC Serch rapped at clubs and block parties and released a single called “Hey Boy” on Idlers, an independent record label.
Sam Sever, a producer, convinced Nice and Serch to work together in 1987. Sever, Prince Paul, and The Bomb Squad produced The Cactus Album (The Cee/Dee), a critically acclaimed debut LP.

is there no way to prevent people like stereoassassin1 from throwing up these little bullshit promos for their crap no one cares about? getting sick of that shit. this is a shoutbox for people to express their love (or hate) of an artist, not to see a dam commercial. on that note 3rd bass brings back fond memories. I like them.

Pete was always a weak white boy who thought he was a pimp. Search always had to much sugar in his tank.
