Rappers that influance you the most (Writers Thread)

[Atone]

Those of you who write rap music, what do you listen to that influances you to write, my playlist is

50 Cent- Power Of The Dollar
50 Cent- Get Rich Or Die Tryin
Lloyd Banks- The Hunger For More
Obie Trice- Cheers
Eminem- Infinite
Eminem- Slim Shady LP
Jay-Z- In my Lifetime (Volume 1)
Kanye West- College Dropout
Nas- Illmatic
Eric B. and Rakim - Paid In Full
Big Pun- Capitol Punishment

Basicly, every song i write i view it as being for my 1st album, so listening to an artist's 1st album gives me that influance to help me come up with ideas of how i want to introduce myself to the game.

I am heavily infuanced by Eminem, which for me, is very hard to admit, being that people always told me i was a wanna be eminem (being that i'm white/rapping)

BUT, i'm also heavily influanced by Rakim, love his music

em, for obvious reasons
and Bob cuz his musics addicting in general

My last writings are emotional and personl so I didnt post them on TR.But for them I only use this:

Usually I listen to some hardcore,punchline rap,like AOTP,RA,etc..

[shadyboymez]

i get inspired in different ways by different artists

lately i find that atmosphere and p.o.s. are big inspirations of mine, but if you asked me a year ago i would have said eminem and tech n9ne. as my taste in music grows and changes, so do my inspirations to write my own music
