For the individual who wrote that he has never heard of AmosItalic text, 
once again it does a disservice to our music roots and culture. It saddens me that Amos must defend himself with his place in Bass history. What’s more unfortunate is the person who posted that he has never heard of Amos … has to be either A). A youngster in his 20’s or 30”s  Or B). Someone who love the Miami Bass and has a decent collection and consider their self an aficionado with the sound;
So Amos this Jason from heights … you know I was there … when we thought you were crazy when you first kick that beat! And there are many others out there … that know what you did to create this art form…… So don’t sweat the Perpetrators and Frauds; be I at peace knowing that you were the innovator and that there is a great deal of Us that know this too!  
I reverted back to an earlier version of the article because there were many POV edits about a guy named Amos Larkins. They claimed that he was the "sole creator and pioneer" of Miami Bass, and edited the article to mainly focus on him. I'm from Miami and I've never heard of him to be a "big name" or very influential in the music scene. It's widely excepted that 2 Live Crew along with Uncle Luke/Luke Skyywalker were the pioneers of the genre. There were also many grammatical errors leading me to believe that the person who edited was sloppy and quick, and not interested in producing an accurate, informative addition to the article.

This person claims that he has never heard of me if that it the case. Well then he or she needs to reveal themselves like I am right know I challenge this person to confront me personally and prove this like I have proven myself. Not only that I have left my contact information I also live in Miami and I am willing to speak with this person face to face to argue the point. It is a known fact and everybody knows who I, Amos Larkins II  and what part I played in pioneering Miami Bass.
If any one needs anymore proof well they can also go to a well know Miami Bass historian who name is PaPa Wheeli who contact is :
PappaWheelie@ElectroDiscoPunks.com
Also you can contact Paul klien the president of empiremusicwerks a division on Universal music
Call me and I will give his information personally.
Know I dare the person to personally challenge me Amos Larkins II with this blatant attempt to re-write History. The charades are over I am here to personally set history of Miami Bass in it’s infancy streight once and for all.
Who ever you are and I'm almost sure I know exactly who you are because only you would do something so underhanded and low.
I Amos Larkins II is not the creator of Miami Bass HUH, I dare you  
Again if anyone disputes what I say call me and I hope you do because I think I know just who you are with I line like then you aren’t from Miami.
Also everybody click on my name Amos Larkins II and take a look at my productions
:: Larkins, your edits are full of typos first of all. The least you could do is use spell check and write a good addition. Secondly, if Larkins is such a pioneer in the genre how come a Goggle search provides almost no results when you search for his name? How come any other website that talks about the history of Miami Bass does not mention him either. I suggest you stop messing up Wikipedia, and find something else to do with your time, because these "charades" are childish and obviously false. Thanks. - Note to other users, I went ahead and reported this issue on Vandalism in Progress page. - Milk 21:07, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  This must stop the charades are over 

message: Ok I have taken your advice to get everything grammatically correct. as far as seaching Google, try Yahoo, try Netscape i have never tried Google but i have never had a problem finding my name in the other two search engines. Enough to merly raise the question what exactly did he do? But the point is this I am still who I say I am grammatically incorrect or not. And you want to talk about vandalism.You say you live in Miami but your heading "Milk" states the youlive in chicago? anyway I’ve been away from the Miami Bass scene for fifteen years I never knew anybody still had such a follwing or cared until universal music confronted me about doing my Discography and even then i was still blind to the fact Becasue it took me two years to agree to do the project. And because people who had any little thing to do with it were so busy try to claim themselves as the pioneer, the father of the genre Miami Bass, When ever someone who was doing an article or writing a book ask about me everybody act like they didn't know how to find me or made seem like i just came Miami for the weekend like maybe our friend Milkdid. heck I never even attempted to put my name or the phrase Miami Bass in a search engine until January of this year 2005 when some writer who was interviewing me suggested that I do so. Because he said that the fans of the genre have no idea what major part I truly played. So only until two months ago me and a few other supporters are starting to streighten the truth out. I am sure that the people at Wikipedia understand that ever scince the begining of history there have always been poeple likeMilk attempting to alter history mistakingly or other wise. I will say this again, in my case the records don't lie and i mean literaly 12 inch records. every serious collector and enthusiast know my pseudonyms better that I do and my sound is unmistakably mine. That alone brands me and locks me in my rightful place in history it self. 
As far as the typos and grammatical mistakes i apoligize to Wikipedia but please putyourself in my shoes, for fifteen years you think nobody cares,you think to yourself "ah that's over let's move on" you have no idea of the real impact you have made.then as the years go by and everybody who was there even people who should have given you your recognition just mention you like you were just a breeze that went by and then fifteen years later you find out that you are dam near eraseed from history you are disapearing as though yur just a myth. My first reaction was not about grammer it was about keeping myself imortaly alive. getting back what was rightfully mine. I have a professional prove reader handling this for me as we speak and it should be done by this Wednesday 06/08/2005 and i will contact wikipedia when this is done.
As far as this personMilkwho claims that he is from Miami and has never heard of me. They still won't revel themselves like I have so the question remains who are the vandals.
Oh, and also to answer the question doing something better with my time I am fortunate to say that I do enough music to support my self still. And right now I couldn't think of a better way to spend my time than to straighten out my place in history can you Milk? What have you cliam to have done besides attempt to chip away my name off of evey stone in the city of Miami Bass so that i maybe erased from history, so that no one will remember me. i still don't see you reveling your self. I rest my case until the next episode. and i wish that i could meet you face to face.
:If you would like to make changes to this article, please make them coherent and sourced.  See Wikipedia:Cite your sources.  If there are reputable sources confirming your importance in the development of Miami bass, that can be added to this article.  Without reputable sources, anything you add may be removed. If you can not provide a reputable source for your claims, then I'm sorry but Wikipedia is not what you are looking for; we can only include information that has already been documented by others in a verifiable manner.

:: What I said was that I'm from Miami, not that I still live there, because yes, I currently live in Chicago. You said you've taken my advice about the grammatical errors, yet your last response is full of them, along with sentence fragments, and general nonsense. I agree with what Tuf-Kat has stated.

thread_title:  STILL THIS PERSON WILL NOT NOT CONFRONT ME 

message: I have rewritten this article including only information found in a print source I have.  I did so because there seems to be a lot of discrepancies on the subject on the web, so I think it's important to cite our sources here.  If anybody would like to expand based on this old version, please cite the sources you used to confirm the material. Tuf-Kat 01:30, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rewrite 

message: they do no research at all and go by the most uncredible sorces there are mainly speaking of  Richie Unterberger this guys is totaly off he must have really needed that advance money i hope papa joe ghurry and gets his book out man thank god nobody in the music industry takes this wikipedia site seriously. --68.234.22.226 00:18, January 18, 2006
:If you don't think Unterberger is a valid source, then please cite something better, in accordance with Wikipedia policy.  Tuf-Kat 05:21, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Now I see why everybody in the music industry preceive wikipedia as a joke 

message: Cursory glance at the article and there's no mention of Kraftwerk, electro, the Detroit electro (just "ghetto tech" - a late 90s term), the LA style (Arabian Prince), 70s funk.
IMHO the clueless quote "Hissy cymbals and stop start rythms" should be deleted and replaced with a musicological description, and the note that Kraftwerk invented this type of dance rhythm with "Numbers".
:If you can WP:CITE a source to that effect, please add it to the article. Tuf-Kat 01:23, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Maggotron.com It has come to the attention of my self and others in this genre that at times in print and other media sources that I  Maggotron /DXJ/ James MCCauley Invented the genre of Miami Bass - do not get it twisted - No one purely of their own accord "invented it" especially not me, the "Miami Street Music/Electro /Bass" scene has  had many talented people involved in it as it progressed through the various styles and flavors of the artists and producers, if I had to name a ground zero though for the genre - I would defiantly state that Amos Larkins is that ground zero - NOT Pretty Tony, NOT Luke, Not any one else that many try to mention. The Miami music Tree ( in terms of the recording business - Record Labels etc) is very simple: Henry Stone's contributions are absolute historical fact. Amos Larkins was part of Henry's Empire . Also, Amos Larkins credited or un-credted  was on so many of the Early Releases of the Genre in one form or another it is not even close, if there is a ground zero Amos is it. Maggotron.com states it under the Bio as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Invisoclam (talk • contribs) 00:37, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
