I get my best ideas, and I jus write..my biology folder is full of lyrics...at home when I sit down and write to a beat...I normally dont get much done...so I record it to my tape player take it to school and write to the beat...at home I actually get ideas in the shower too lol..but i dont write em down...I get alot of ideas watchin my family coordinate..my house is rlly loud..theres 16 people here livin...And my last and most way I write is listenin to artists like 2pac , triple n , 20 grand and my boi tha q ...But mainly its Triple..because it was youre music tht inspired me to start so I jus get infatuated with all ure subliminals..so I try incorparate it...Listenin to tracks like:

Ayo Its Triple
Step Up
Somebody Tell Me

Dyin in youre arms
Broken
Fireman

Dark Feelings
Hooked On Sweet 16
Ghetto Ill

Me.....I come up wit lyrics inconsistently.....I'll be watching TV then next thing I know I got a notebook in my hand I dun wrote 3 verses in 5 mins.....then other times I hear a beat an come up wit a hook on the spot then spend the next month tyring to write 3 verses to match it....My influences is....life....watching life is when I write best......like when I ride the city bus ...I always take a note book cuz I can look out the window and watch the passing buildings, people, an cars,...an see the artistry of it...I wrote sum of my deepest shit riding the bus, or riding the subway, anyone from nyc knows theres always that bum nigga playin drums on 2 buckets, or a bumass white dude wit sum broke ass guitar, people constantly moving, the smell of the air down there, laughing at people running for train then u hear that "ding" an the door closes 2 inches from they noses jus before they hop on, watching the station disappear then goin into the darkness of the subway tunnel...or the rain...something about gloomy, cloudy, rainy days makes me write deep thought provoking shit.....boredom...in class, a seminar, church, a wack date, lost a madden game at my niggas house & waiting for my turn....I jus pullout the notebook an start writing rhymes....those are punchline spots for me...when I'm bored I write punchlines....the porch....cyphering wit my niggas....I always spit a couple lines in freestyle mode that I gotta write down soon as I finish my spit, or the shower...I take the notebook wit me when i wash my ass...I hop in & out of the shower cuz I use to forget sum ill shit dat I'd think of while washing my ass, the luandry mat, or the emcee classic method sum trees, preferrably dat black..an a nigga's creativity sky rockets.....but I can never schedule writing...I can never do focused writing always spur of the moment..probably my creative weakness...if I set a time when I will write...say I say I'm a write from 4 to 5 o'clock....I'll either have a blank page or sum weak shit.
