Are you serious? See that's what's messed up with todays hip hop & rap. That's why you gotta bunch of Trendy ass cat's in the rap game now day'z. I disagree with you not being able to go nowhere by not listening to any kind of rap & hip hop, but your own words that you write and spit back to yourself every day. You don't have to listen to nobody to get better. All you have to do is practice by yourself and when you feel your music sounds good that should be all you should care for not what anyone else say's. That's where alot of orginality roates out your self by trying to focus on to much of what someone else is doing in the rap game. You cat's obviously see it diferently then me which I'm ok with everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Me on the other hand quit listening to all rap& hip hop period and now just write and spit everyday. I don't gotta listen to someone go off on a song to motivate me or influence me to better than anyone else.
I just do the music for myself and if i feel satisfied with it that's all really all i care about.
