are immense. Prince, Bill WIthers, Tupac, the Talking Heads, Sage Francis, Saul Williams, Outkast, Run DMC, Public Enemy, the Beastie Boys, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, the Gorillaz, Notorious BIG, Tears For Fears, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails............................................... and most importantly, life. I write about what I see, what I've been through, what I want to see, and what I want to experience. I write about friends, family, music, love, happiness, moving, following dreams, being passionate, playing video games, playing basketball, lifting weights, delivering pizzas, heroes, events that have changed my life, respecting women, societal pressures, finding home, self-esteem, and much more. I'm sure I'm missing influences and topics, but that should give you some idea. I feel the music speaks best for itself, but this is a quick glance.
