Once Again...This is not in order or greatness or who I think is better but this is about pure influence of my style, flow, and character.
Okay so # 15 was Q-tip
Holding down the #14 Spot is Mos Def.
Mos Def represents what I don't want to grow into as an artist. I want to come out with enough confidence to do whatever I want to do with my music knowing that I can find an audience no matter what. In the midst of picking my 14th slot I realized that Mos has transcended all genres with ease...
From Black on Both Sides to The New Danger to True Magic and now the Ecastic Mos has showed me how to remain true to myself and still connect to the truest essence of Hip Hop. I call Black on Both Sides the album that turned me on to concise Hip Hop. That album had me at Toby Farms Elementary School looking at the Rawkus Records Site consuming as much Hip Hop as I could during out 10 minute free time period. Till this day "Umi Says" is still one of 5 songs I can listen to and calm me down and motivate me. The Boogie Man Mixtape is classic. Ms. Fat Booty showed me how to tell stories from a concise side. Lastly, The Ecastic is the most eccentric music I have ever heard its just pure passion .
Ms. Fat Booty
Ghetto Rock: Still gets my hype like Im bout to go to War...
Brown Sugar: I still get pissed when I see that they didnt shoot a video for This song.
