How do you approach song writing and what influences you? i'm a writer. 99% of the time i sit down and a beat picks me.. i don't really pick the beat. i'll listen to about 100 of them and if i'm lucky five will say something to me. and i just go from there. what ever comes to mind is what i make the song to be. and as far as what influences me... everything. everything i see and hear in life... What is your philosophy on music today? it is what it is. i'm a 80's baby so most of the style i like is rappers from the 90's. most of today's music seems so fake today. with the auto tune and what not. you can never tell when the rapper even has real talent or is just backed up by a computer. i can't stand that shit.
