why did you start rapping.

[Greed]

Two distinct situations I feel led me down this path.

My original parents aren't together. My mom didn't like me listening to cuss words but my dad just liked the music. I remember my dad listening to the first e40 cd way way back. I remember saying something about they cuss too much due to what I was taught. My dad told me 'its not all cuss words listen to what they're saying though. ' he was right. Its more then that. E40 put me on game about a lot of shit and still do to this day.

The second occasion was years later in jr high. I had dmx 'and then there was x' cd. Thought it was the rawest shit ever 'what's my name' was as hardcore as I coulf thonk possible at the time. I was listening to the cd repeatedly, and it got to the point I started writing down what he was saying by rewinding and fast forwarding a bunch of times. I wrote a line down in particlar, 'strong arm and show a little muscle'. My step dad bust In my room and took the paper saying 'don't be writing this you don't even know that this means something else'.

Strong arm and show a little muscle.

I didn't know it was refrencing a robbery.

I wad intrigued by the fact that a simple once over was not enough to truly understand what the artist is really trying to say.

I count those two events as what subsequently led me down the path of a writer.

Who got a better story.
