Blackstreet

Blackstreet is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Chad Hugo, The Gap Band, DeBarge, Marley Marl and Das EFX. Those roots explain a lot about how Blackstreet arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Joe, Shai, Boyz II Men, Donell Jones and Jaheim, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The Neptunes, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Dr. Dre, Mýa and Mase, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 38 connections around Blackstreet, reaching back through Chad Hugo and forward to The Neptunes. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
