		Rakaa: Yeah, they take the uncut pure...they say we can give you guys the uncut pure but if we dilute it with, you know, five parts water to one parts concentrate, then we can sell a lot more of these things to a lot more people.
		Rakaa: Also, my man Ralek Gracie, which is one of Rorion's sons, he raps, and I've been working with him for like maybe a year and a half.
		Rakaa: My advice is listen to the radio all day, get yourself a really good rhyme dictionary, and disrespect DJs at all possible times and let them know that you're the rapper and you're in charge, and you'll have a really, really healthy successful career.

		Rakaa and rap partner Evidence, along with DJ Babu (a onetime member of turntable heroes World Famous Beat Junkies), have crafted, on The Platform, one of the year's mightiest hip-hop collages.
		There are flaws with the record (despite seeming to have a lot to say, they really don't say all that much), but this combination of brains and brawn has been a rare hip-hop commodity through most of the '90s.
		Rakaa says the dichotomy and the push and pull that have been at the core of his partnership with Evidence from the start are the reasons the music works so well.

		With the October release of Expansion Team-their second time at bat-the mixture of Beat Junkie DJ Babu with MCs Evidence and Rakaa furthers their visceral and intellectual vibe, one capable of making ear drums pop and synapses snap from Los Angeles to Europe.
		Rakaa got into the game through graffiti in 1984; he has been working with Evidence since the early '90s, and Babu since 1997.
		Reaganomics played a big part in that," says Rakaa, who attributes the rise of the rap underground to artists honing their business skills.

		The group's hometown roots are immortalized on Neighborhood Watch with the booming "World On Wheels" (inspired by the famed Mid City roller disco) and "1580," a skit which conjures up golden memories of legendary Los Angeles AM station 1580 KDAY, the world's first ever round-the-clock hip-hop station.
		Rakaa explains; "It's a song about change about not being satisfied with where you are, and realizing that if you're not in the right place you can elevate and build towards something better."
		In addition to West, Dilated were also joined in the studio by longtime family members such as The Alchemist, executive producer of this record and general inspiration and motivator, Nucleus, and Joey Chavez, along with friends like Rob "Reef" Tewlow (50 Cent, Fat Joe).

		Rakaa acknowledges that Dilated followed the trail blazed by Public Enemy and Boogie Down Productions, two groups that "entertained while they were dropping their bombs." But he thinks the group's roots go back even further.
		On the disc, Rakaa, Ev, and guests--including B-Real, Everlast, and Tha Alkaholiks--have no problem "serving" wack MCs and professing their own mic prowess.
		Rakaa agrees there's a movement going on, but he doesn't necessarily see it as a replacement for the commercial gangsta-ism that has been synonymous with L.A. rap for years.
