RHH: Is there any artist who genuinely inspires you? Be it as an artist, as a thinker..?
Or maybe even someone who inspired you to do something...
Who is it and why/what do they inspire you to do?
BQ - What's your favourite Turntablism album that isn't by DJ Babu/World Famous Beat Junkies or Q-Bert/Invisibl Skratch Piklz?
Wax Tailor. when i feel like doing something creative his music always inspires me to think. i guess the feel of the music is what im into. alot of it is kinda like that dark beautiful. its depressing but somewhat uplifting at the same time. i guess it lets me know that when im depressed or just feeling down that i dont have to forget about the things that are making me feel this way but to use them to my advantage. there is always good in bad if you look for it.

Tupac inspired me to stand up for my self. It got me interested into rapping, but not about fake stuff about REAL experiences.
Scarface is the only rapper that makes me really think about stuff deeply
RHH: J Dilla inspires me.I read some interviews with people who meet Dilla and they say he’s a real humble cat and he was always smiling and stuff like that.That right there just made me think about myself Dilla inspired me as a person not just as a musician.
BQ: I don’t know.
LOL @ the first answer.
Yeah, Raekwon inpsired that pyrex vision. Jay-Z inspired me to be succesful hustler. Cam’Ron’s ‘nursery rhymes’ inspired me to attempt flowing.
AZ and Cormega inspire me
I guess Chino XL inspires me lyrically. I consider him the punchline master, so when I write punchlines I try to come up with sh*t that can trump his.
Nas, Lupe, and Mos Def
Taught me about life and how to make good quality hip-hop
