They are one of the more promising young talents to emerge from Northern California's legendary, organic, independent, hip-hop scene.
Combining an average joe sensibility along with syrupy west coast beats, clever samples, and witty rhymes Potluck's weed inspired song topics include everything from life and loves tribulations to neck-snapping battle raps.
Back in 1995, 1 Ton, who originally hails from San Diego, and UnderRated, who was born and raised in Humboldt, met at a dj trial. "We were the two tightest djs there, so it was natural we hooked up," remembers UnderRated about the first encounter.
Despite the fact that they were from different backgrounds, 1 Ton is African-American and UnderRated is Jewish, the two formed a musical chemistry as Emcees, Producers, and Djs which translated into some of the best club and house parties Humboldt has ever seen.
In 2000, the group released their debut album "Humboldt County High." They distributed the record themselves up and down the West Coast through a label they formed, called Lost Koast Productions.
In Humboldt, "We became so popular, we were selling more albums than Brittany Spears," smiles 1-Ton, about the groups early days. Songs like the weed inspired "Humboldt County High" and the more serious "Whats Your Purpose" catapulted Potluck into the mix of up and coming West Coast rappers.
Potluck went on to release 2 more full length Cds: 1. Potluck "Tha Lost Koast Kollective" (2002) a compilation album featuring Potluck with underground MCs from Brooklyn, NY. to Humboldt County, Ca. and 2. Potluck "Harvest Time" (2005) which features collaborations with Tech N9ne, E-40, The Mystik Journeymen, and Equpito.
Currently Lost Koast Productions and Suburban Noize Records have teamed up to bring you Potluck "Straight Outta Humboldt" which is primed to go down as a marijuana lovers classic. It has appearances from Kottonmouth Kings, The Luniz (I got 5 on it), Tech N9ne, and a host of others. It is scheduled for release Summer of 2006.
To date Potluck has toured the U.S. and performed with the likes of Too $hort, E-40, Atmosphere, Tech N9ne, Lloyd Banks, Living Legends, Bone Thugs, J5, Andre Nickatina, Blackalicous, and Kottonmouth Kings.

Say what you wanna say!

Do What You Wanna Do!
Do What You Wan' Do!

So, back the fuck up offa me.
[UnderRated]
Here we go again, it's the veteran,
Yo we better than,
Even ya friends are pickin' me over them,
Gotcha breeze on the bed,
On her knees givin' head,
Wannabe, but ya never be what I been,
Lyrically, I'ma Ten,
Never gonna quit, cause I gotta represent,
Make another hit, puffin a little bit of the incredible shit,
I gotcha girl on my mind, so I'm fuckin a bitch,
I'm all up in the beat, you pretend to be,
And it's better than the yay, 'cause it's meant to be,
Humboldt County is the place where they blaze the weed,
I betcha never believe, now take a blaze from me,
We gonna stop, drop, rock and roll,
Ain't not time to be geekin',
We gonna do that though,
Flip that hoe, kick that flow,
Make it to the top, then we get that dough!
[1 Ton]
It ain't funny, you don't wanna play games,
Ask who's the best, and you better say James,
Normal thing, everyday, whoop ass and take names,
Sit ya five dollar ass down, before I make change,
Get ya poppin' off, stalkin the block,
All the bitches better know that I'm hot in the spot,
Poppin' the glock, got me a lot,
Niggas need to know that I'm walkin' my talk,
It's on time, my coast gonna Shine, Shine, Shine,
Can't see nigga, Blind, Blind, Blind,
1 Ton, and the J.J. boy, fuckin' three hoes, Dime, Dime, Dime,
Haters back up,
Hoes gon' get smacked up,
Holla at the club when I get that love,
Hit it from the back while I smoke a fat dub,
Then I'm done, and I get a back rub,
[1 Ton - Chorus]
Say what you wanna say!

[Tech N9ne]
I'm the nigga with the vendetta,
So I can be better, bitch,
A motha fucka that run over competitors,
No medicine in me, I'm better than many,
Sick in the cerebellum, tell em a nigga like a sedative,
I'ma do what I wanna do,
When I do it, ya gonna be knowin' the second I do,
Because of the rain,
Because of the pain,
Ya niggas, the game,
The Tecca Nina's vexed and wreckin' ya crew,
Say what you wanna say, I'ma Real,
Niggas so give me ya dollar bill,
Takin' away from me, I'ma kill,
Givin' it to me, and I'ma chill,
Can't nobody stop a nigga from makin' a mill',
If I wanna put the Platinum off in the grill,
Maybe tryna find a bitch or two I wanna drill,
A nigga will,
Be what I wanna be,
Get from in front of me,
If you ain't livin' or doin' what ya feel,
Only take a minute for me to get up in it,
Homie you a lieutenant, homie,
And I'm a general,
Sendin' you minimal niggas to hell,
Used to be makin' criminal mail,
Now I'll be makin' critical sails,
Never know when I might pop-up,
Better hope I never let the glock bust,
Tryna battle niggas, then you got stuck,
Ain't nobody fuckin' with Tech and the Potluck!
Take a look around,
Look at the way I be throwin' down,
Tecca Nina with the mo' flow,
Ain't no fake in the track,
Nigga, we shakin' the rap,
Look at the tat's, Snake and the Bat logo,
Gettin' money, fuckin' bitches on the low-low,
Sit her on my dick, and make her play pogo,
You can say what you wanna say,
Nina fuckin' yo bitch,
Lookin' like a motha fuckin' clown,
Nigga, Bozo.

Gettin' blown in the back with a naked hoe,

Pack another bowl, move slow,
Smoke an ounce 'till my brain cells go!
Buh bye, we fly, the sky, so high...
And where the fuck we from?
Don't die, we cry, West Side, Fo' Life!
And we gon' do it now,
Blowin' up, news style, Boom-Blowh,

Got ya whole crew shook, when they go down,
Flow and grow, we don't know when to slow down!

The song "Say What Ya Wanna" by Potluck is an energetic rap track featuring verses from UnderRated, 1 Ton, and Tech N9ne. The lyrics convey a sense of defiance and self-assurance, with each rapper proclaiming their own greatness and dismissing anyone who dares to challenge them. The chorus encourages listeners to speak their mind and pursue their own goals, regardless of what others may say.
UnderRated's verse is full of clever wordplay and boasts about his skills as a lyricist. He asserts that he is the best, even among his friends and peers, and makes reference to his success in the underground rap scene. 1 Ton's verse is similarly confident, with references to his reputation as a tough guy and his ability to make money and attract women. Tech N9ne's verse takes a more aggressive tone, with violent threats against anyone who might try to stand in his way.
Overall, "Say What Ya Wanna" is a high-energy anthem for anyone who refuses to let others hold them back. The lyrics celebrate individualism and the pursuit of success, while also warning against anyone who might try to challenge or oppose the rapper.
