Funkdoobiest is a Latin rap group from Los Angeles, California. The original members are Son Doobie (Jason Vasquez), a Puerto Rican rapper, and DJ Ralph M (Ralph Medrano), a Chicano DJ, and Tomahawk Funk (Tyrone Pacheco) of the Lakota nation. He left after their second album due to the fact he became a family man. Their first two albums were mainly produced by Cypress Hill's DJ Muggs. Their third and so far last album, The Troubleshooters, included production by Ralph M and DJ Rectangle. Whereas the other albums were clearly hardcore rap in the vein of Cypress Hill and other Soul Assassins members, The Troubleshooters was more versatile.[citation needed] DJ Muggs was the groups mentor and inspiration. The group is known for their sexually explicit song "Superhoes" about the perverted secret indentities of Superheros. Most of their other songs have to do with sex, and Son Doobie even proclaimed himself the porno king. They also had their own X-rated club in Los Angeles. The club had a sex hotline as well. Funkdoobiest have never cared for censorship, and have released several hit singles such as, "XXX Funk" about controversial topics like pornography. Currently, Tomahawk Funk just recently back as the group, they are working on their fourth album which will be released on July 1, 2008.
