Boom Boom Pow is a Dance-pop and Electropop act. Their sound grew out of Afrika Bambaataa. Those roots explain a lot about how Boom Boom Pow arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Love Sex Magic, Waking Up in Vegas, Kiss Me thru the Phone, New in Town and Release Me, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Armand van Helden, Shakira, 50 Cent, Gucci Mane and Flo Rida, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 25 connections around Boom Boom Pow, reaching back through Afrika Bambaataa and forward to Armand van Helden.
