id have to say the song california love inspired me to start listening to rap music, then i really got into dres new album when that came out they i just kept listening to different emcees and seeing what different styles other emcees had

iite this may seem like some obsessed kid but i aint...but i was inspired by eminem...and maybe Dr. Dre..the first rap song i ever heard was "My Name Is" and i thought it was so funn and started gettin me into n now i like any type of rap

The people in the enviroment that i grew up with inspired my taste of music of the art of rap/ hardcore rap music

The first rap song I ever heard was "Hit Em Up"

you can imagine me at 8 years old:

"OMG this guy swears so much. Hes cool. So gangsta."

So if it wasnt for 2pacs unrelenting hatred towards others, I wouldnt even listen to rap. Hate = prosperity :D

this thread is played,

rakim, ive said it in ever other thread like this.....

I was born and boom i liked hiphop, but when i heard "microphone fiend" by Rakim i damn near died, so i wrote some bullshit down and thought it was dope.

I got about 4 different styles so about 12 people influenced me

Sometimes i'll spit a multi syllable fast type shit-Twista,Bone,and Trigga Treach,and Pun inspired me to do that,and that "bombs over bahgdad" song by Outkast

The witty wordplay shit is what i do mostly-Jay Z,Nas,Treach (again) inspired me 2 do that

the multi worded shit ending wit a dope ass punch or ending-Canibus,Rass Kass,Chino XL

Knowledge shit (if you can't do knowledge shit then u suck) wit vocab-Canibus,Pac,Jay,Rakim,Nas,and now Kweli

my boy got me rapping, but the song that got me wanting to rap is rabbit run, off 8 mile, and go to sleep off from the soundtrack of cradle to the grave, eminem inspired me to rap the most.

da first rap song i ever heard was M.E.T.H.O.D. man, by method man. i was like 3 when i heard this song and i still remember it. Biggy made me love rap, i listened to juicy for so long for so many days, i know dat song word per word, i tried to understand him, i felt wat he said. tupac perfected the sound of rap into my ear with great lines and perfect songs.
