It's funny when I listen to music and get inspired.. like, I wanna be my own person and I am my own person.. but if I had to choose a rapper to be LIKE, it'd be Geo of Blue Scholars before Eminem despite what popular demand would say when comparing the two.. just feels like more substance in the music for me. Then on the other hand, I enjoy radio, club, and party music just the same... but it doesn't inspire me in the way that those artists on the list do. If I really had to say something inspires me then I'd say it was music itself that inspires. I'm an everything man most days.. I've heard just regular singers that inspire me to write a song. Doesn't even have to be rap and it makes me want to create. Music in general is just an awesome concept to me.
