West gained fame the world over during his long career as one of the most innovative and influential musicians in the history of rock music. He is most noted for his role as leader of the explosive hard rock trio, Mountain, which was named by VH-1 as one of the Top 100 Hard Rock Groups of all time. With Mountain, he climbed the heights of rock stardom on the strength of a unique, signature guitar sound and classic songs such as “Mississippi Queen”, “Never In My Life” and “Theme From An Imaginary Western”,and Nantucket Sleighride which are still staples of rock radio to this day. West earned the admiration of a long list of famous peers. During his career, he recorded or played with a litany of rock icons including Billy Joel, Van Halen, The Who, Mick Jagger and Jimi Hendrix, to name just a few. In fact, Eddie Van Halen, Michael Schenker and Richie Sambora have all cited West as an important influence on their own music.
West's bold, expressive and unique guitar style is really a mirror of his own personality. Spend a little time talking with this larger-than-life figure, and you’ll realize that he is as charismatic without a guitar in his hands as he is with one. Possessing a sharp sense of humor, he was at once gregarious and gruff while recounting stories from his legendary past. When discussing his music projects, he exuded an infectious enthusiasm and excitement. Such projects could take him outside his traditional roles of guitarist, singer and songwriter.
In 1986, he acted alongside Tom Hanks and Shelley Long in the hit comedy film, The Money Pit and has lent his distinctive voice to the popular animated series, Beast Wars Transformers which ran for three seasons on the WB network beginning in 1996 before going into syndication. He has also contributed the theme music to the new WB show, Mutant X.
West was a popular personality on the Howard Stern Radio Show and was Musical Director for the shock jock’s FOX series, as well as for the late comedian Sam Kinison. Most recently, he lent his production and songwriting skills to an album by Atlantic Records’ modern rock group, Clutch, and has just released his own instructional guitar DVD, Big Phat Ass Guitar.

Leslie West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Its Good music and G-Unit

Ladies and Gentleman
You know they made cause cause cause I'm hood rich
You never ever ever seen a nigga good trick
You want a problem
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Wait a minute
Big blue, hot and skinny shoot
Cotton candy coupe
Hard knock, orphan Annie loop
Off the stoop ugh
Play with me, see what the screamy do
My canary shoe
High beems pointed right at you, peek-a-boo
Benji paper made me hater-proof
All your family dues
Menage a trois, purple haze and goose, got me loose
Kick my way in and now I got the juice, Gucci bubble boots
Thousand kicks couple hundred boots gettin' fuckin' loot
My top down, I'm flashing on 'em
I'm passing all them, pullover and hit the hazards on 'em
The ratchet on him, pay my dues, now it's back to ballin'
The raps a boring dead man, I dip the casket for 'em
I'm back performing, I bag 'em
Break their back, don't call 'em
Look down on em like Dikembe, Patrick, Mourning
Cash is pourin'
Stunt stormin, go this bitches out
Camera phones capture everything that pictures don't
You know they mad cause cause cause I'm hood rich
You ain't never ever ever seen a nigga good trick

We keep these G's in an alloy safe
And stash the weed in an Altoids case
They say good things come to those who wait
So I'ma be at least about an hour late
I'm so fresh bitch I should be arrested
New Tody Chester with my nuts on your chest bitch
She said "hey 'Ye"
I said "Yes Bitch"
Damn I'm only asking you a question
I met this milf at the all star getting action
A cougar with more rings than Phil Jackson
Told her beauty is why God invented eyeballs
And her booty is why God invented my balls
I'm a rock star, huh, start it up
Start it up, huh, start it up
So popular you should get a shot of us
Niggas don't take shots at us that is only obvious
The first album I vomited, the second I colonic'd it
Ain't nobody fucking with me, I plutonic'd it
Bet I got some slippers on, bet niggas gon' honor it
These ain't even real clothes homie I'm pyjama rich
Banks told me homie go switch the style up
These bitches on me homie only to arouse us
Told her I ain't paying tonight I'm only browsing
She pulled her blouse up, said "it's free", I said wowzers
You know they mad cause cause cause I'm hood rich
You ain't never ever ever seen a nigga good trick
You want a problem

Ladies and gentleman
Plenty hate, they be taking shots, never penetrate
Money generated, if we ain't in the house, renovate
Tryna eat, we ain't finna wait
Where's da dinner plates?
B.M.W., ten to 8, interstate 95, passenger
Baddest bitch in the States, half Spanish half Trinidad
Complexion Henny straight
Y'all ain't got your business straight, track star, finna state
Time is money and I can't afford to be a minute late
It's time to make a movie let the haters watch
Diamonds spinning round the bezel that's tornado watch
My independent chick, I like my ladies Koch
She got an appetite for dick, I guess her plates my crotch
That soft as tater top, lil' nigga try me not
Under the wing, fried rice at the Chinese spot
I hear 'em talking it but ain't really living it
Opinions are like assholes so who gives a shit
You know they mad cause cause cause I'm hood rich
You ain't never ever ever seen a nigga good trick
You want a problem,
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Start it up
You know they mad cause cause cause I'm hood rich
You ain't never ever ever seen a nigga good trick
You want a problem,
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Wait a minute
(Wait a minute)
