what brought you into rapping?
 

just wanted to know.............

i started rapping cos of presure(generally) and cos of fake bitches (friends) that dissappointed me many times and many more.....also cos of dmx(hehehe)..he inspired me.....dats it......
what about y'all?

2pac,biggie,n eminem inspired me but who did da most is my nigga punch drunk back in jersey he da one who actually got me started when i was 15 n plus i jus love hip-hop so much n ive always writed poems n feel its betta 2 release anger stress love n e thing than killin sum 1 or fuckin a chick words speak loud yet actions speak louder n i feel with hip-hop i can do wut i want how i want n da message is spoke tooken in or hated none da less it gets across

When i heard Coolio & L.V Gangstas paradise...that got me following

Eminem got me inspired....

negga had to eat somehoe























somehow

dunno really....
i started off writing poems then jus got into writing rap songs....
but if im hounest i only started battling when i got a copie of em at the rap olympics and thought it was koo so i suppose im a have to say em.....

Seeing people rapping in the streets one day and i thought it was cool so i tried but i was humiliated lol that was when i was 8 1/2 years old

i got a bad tempa, n wen i was lil i wud rite poems here n there n den i started listenin to rap more n more seein ppl battle i was always so scared but the first time i tired it i lost but that inspired me to do it so i can get betta, n i get mad so easily so if sum1 fucks me ova or i have bad relationships i rite it down to get that shit off my chest, but the one person that inspired me to start, id have to say Eminem, so there u go peace

My cousin. He was rapping at my party like six years ago, so I battled him right there. I sucked then. I got my first and only loss right there on the spot. Ever since then I've been killing heads out here. Sometimes I battle for money, but not too often. Niggas'll shoot you for money if they lose in front of their boys.

no offense - but i bet these cats just been battlin since they peeped 8 mile.... battling is older than me, and im OLD.


ps - my bro got me into it, cause i used to produce alot more, but then we started cypherin alot more, and i had more to say than just random frees so i started writing and such.... I'm only battlin to get my audio flow there, and once it's where i want it - my EPs gonna have 4 years of fiyah and emotion I been writing - thats BEEN waiting. gon be fiyah.

The day I heard Shade Sheist. I thought if he can bust out one hit thats funky so can I. Erm...I was DJing for a bit first & just accidently found RB & got registered & from there it began.

fuckin yall moms brought me in--!--merked--

What got me into hip-hop was the way that people used words and could illustrate different scenes/vibes...it was beautiful. I was like,"man...I gotta learn that!!!," and from there I started learning how to rhyme by writing poetry and short-stories. My influences were Slick Rick,Tech N9ne, Nas, and Jay-Z..then I started listening to Talib Kweli, Mos Def, the Roots, Jurassic 5, Pharoah Monche, Common and I became fascinated after that point. Been hooked on it since.
Peace and GOD Bless!!!!
