i would have 2 say 2pac, Big L, Geto Boys, & Shyheim

1)) 2pac cuz of many reasons 1 main reason that stands out 2 me is in my music i make songs 4 the ladies & it isn't always as sex objects

2)) Big L cuz he got me 2 da point where i can flip da script in my rhymes

3)) Geto Boys cuz dey showed me how 2 keep it g'd up at all times

4)) Shyheim taught me not 2 b neva b ashamed of b'in where u from

basically i learned from all keep it real at all times wit myself & othaz; & live what i say in my lyrics
