Michael Jackson...Fuck you, he has the industry on lock.
Nas inspired me the most, because after I heard Illmatic I just felt I had to write. Then would be Mobb Deep after hearing Hell on Earth and The Infamous. I got into some underground but after listening to Aesop Rock's Labor Days, I've been going more into poetry. And I have to give some to Jay-Z because people think he's no good, but He has alot of punches and soo many metaphors, but doesn't get respect because they are mostly implied and his songs have catchy choruses.
