Yesterday when I post the guy comments on lil Wayne, then later he states a list of his top favorite rappers. I had a person yesterday ask who’s your top 5 favorite rappers are. To be honest I never really made a list ever for that. Music is what relates to you and what brings you back memories you enjoy. My childhood growing up my older sister control the music in the house. She listen to Madonna, Prince, Marvin Gaye, Aerosmith, Nirvana, LL Cool J, and mostly rock and pop like New Edition and New Kids. So rap wasn’t really played in the crib really unless it was me at 4 or 5 watching BET rapping what songs came on Video Soul. In one of my radio interviews they ask me before what rapper I grew up listening to. At that time all I could think was damn whatever that was hot at the time. But I just replied Tupac when rap wasn’t the main choice of music. Still to this day I prefer R&B or Rock songs over rap and I know you can agree also.
Now let’s break down this list if I say Phoeno is my favorite then I’m conceited, but the songs I have recorded I can relate to and enjoy. Because everyone have a song they hear and be like I been though that before turn it up. So I would put myself number one on the list not just because it’s me. Becomes I can relate to myself more because it’s my life. But I’m not going to put myself on this list this time.
