Pookie F’n Rude: Rebirthing the West Coast Vibe with Authenticity, Faith, and Unstoppable Energy
Long Beach native Pookie F’n Rude is more than an artist; he’s a movement. From turning anger into art to reigniting the West Coast sound, Pookie’s journey is built on faith, manifestation, and a relentless drive to uplift his community. Known for his captivating music, unforgettable events, and genuine integrity, Pookie is a force to be reckoned with. Here’s a deep dive into the story behind the man who’s reshaping the West Coast’s musical landscape.
Turning Pain Into Purpose
Every artist has a moment when emotion drives creativity, and for Pookie, it was a day of pure frustration. “I went into the studio mad that day. Hash was already working on something, and he forced me to record,” he recalls. That session birthed a spark that became central to his mission of spreading positivity and faith through music. “Honestly, it came together through pure faith, consistency, and manifestation. The legends hit me up wanting to be a part of it, and that was dope.”
The Vision Behind the Vibes
Pookie doesn’t just create music; he curates experiences. His creative process is rooted in ensuring every vibe in the room is pure. “I can’t be in a dark setting or around dark energies. We have to start from scratch and create from there,” he explains.
His connection to Long Beach and the broader West Coast is undeniable. “My music represents not only Long Beach but also surrounding areas like L.A.—honestly, the whole West Coast,” he says. He channels the culture, diversity, and vibrancy of his community into every track. “It helps me connect with people of all races. Long Beach is full of different cultures, and that makes it easier to relate to people beyond just my race.”
Music and Events: A Perfect Synergy
For Pookie, music and events go hand in hand. “I use my experiences from promoting, elevating artists, and hosting events and parties in my music. They amplify each other,” he explains. His events are not just about entertainment—they’re about respect, faith, and making people feel seen. “I pray over my whole event. My goal is to make sure everyone is seen in the right light. That’s what sets my events apart.”
One standout moment for Pookie was hosting the RJ vs. Greedo shows. “It was all about respect—from the viewing party to the performing party. I had the crowd in control, and it was amazing to see everything flow so well,” he reflects.
Rebirthing the West Coast Sound
Pookie F’n Rude sees his mission as more than creating music; he’s bringing the West Coast back to its roots. “Everybody seems to have forgotten the West Coast vibes. My job is to make sure people’s attention stays rooted in where it came from,” he says. His music resonates deeply with the motorcycle community, the car scene, and the Lowrider world. “Everything that has to do with the West is now attached to me,” he proudly shares.
“Turn Up” as a Lifestyle
For Pookie, “turn up” is more than a party anthem; it’s a way of life. “It means every step has to be greater than the last one. Turn up the volume in your life and everything you do—elevate,” he says. His music reflects this mantra, inspiring listeners to push themselves and stay motivated.
What’s Next for Pookie F’n Rude?
Growth is at the forefront of Pookie’s mind. “I want to show people more than just the entertainment side of Pookie. I want to start giving seminars, teaching people the power of faith, manifestation, and believing in self,” he reveals. Acting, skits, and more creative endeavors are also on his horizon.
The Motivation Behind the Movement
Pookie’s drive comes from his two sons, who look up to him as a role model. “The fact that they see me as someone great is the best feeling,” he says. But he’s also fueled by doubters. “The people who didn’t believe I could do it—they motivate me to prove them wrong every day.”
A Dream Collaboration
When asked about his dream collaboration, Pookie doesn’t hesitate. “Honestly, I would’ve loved to do a track with James Brown. Imagine the energy of James Brown and Pookie F’n Rude on a live performance track—that’s crazy.”
Believe in Yourself
Pookie’s message to his fans is clear: “Believe in yourself beyond any means, beyond any measures. It starts with you. Stay motivated, keep the faith, and stay consistent by believing in yourself.”
