Nas cuz he has a way of making meaningful tracks and it seeming like he's more intelligent than you...his shit really got me into making deep songs..

Esham, and Twiztid...both of those influenced me to begin rapping...I just tried to do like they did and it sucked so I changed my shit up n eventually ended up like I am now...

Canibus and Chino XL helped me a lot lyrically..especially with punchlines...

there's a shitload more but I don't feel like getting into all of em...

peace

well Quip does have a point...if u just listen to a few of pacs song looking for good rhymes n shit u wouldn't think he was great...but u have to think of this..the question was "who are your influences?" not "who's the best rapper?"....Pac influenced a lot of people...he had really deep tracks..and after he died those songs were amplified like FUCK..people listened to his shit and found totally new messages...Pac didn't influence me much though, I never got onto his bandwagon when he was alive so after he died I didn't miss his shit that much, same with biggie, but I do understand why he influenced so many people....

peace
