keep in mind they are both from diffrent times. dont get me wrong, retro is a major icon in central coast history or even go as far as saying northern california. comparing such a young gun to such a player is ludacris. on the contrary, pryze is infact very young and talented, with that equation he was the potiental to become such as retro. as far as "outside influence", everyone draws inspiration from someone. as long as you're not blatently biting, it's always been passed off, whoopty doo, who cares. everyones product looks like someone elses, sad but true.
