I don't know how to say it in French but this is what it means:
he uses a lot of soul music as his background. This guy performs with computerized background and does the effects/beatboxing- which sends saliva flying
I like it to be just me and my mic and the footwork. I use a good ol' Shure SM58 microphone - when you sling as much saliva as I do, you need a mic that can take punishment.
Kid B has shared the stage with James Brown, Ray Charles, LL Cool J, Spearhead, the Neville Brothers
godfather of soul = James Brown

Le contexte pourrait aider ceux qui voudraient répondre à votre question
He's lent his lips to the "Godfather of Soul" and spit in the general direction of LL Cool J, Run DMC, and even the great Ray Charles. Of course it's musical spit we're talking about here - the kind of juice used to fuel the lips, breath, and vocal stylings of San Francisco's own Kid Beyond (aka Andrew Chaikin).
