i forgot kurt kobaine, he gets an honorable mention, lol

[H.O.V.A.]

Curtis Mayfield (idk, I just love the guy's music)
Jimi Hendrix (got me into rock)
Michael Jackson (the king of pop. Nuff said)
Bob Marley (gifted lyricist and musician)
Tupac (got me into rap/hip hop)

Honorable mention: Bob Dylan (guy has had a major influence on alot of my favorite artist, and he's a great lyricist as well, but I haven't listened to alot of his stuff. I need to sit down and listen to it one day...)

Nirvana (again, Cobain could write great lyrics)
Isley Brothers (Old school RnB ftw)
Ohio Players (See Isley Brothers)
Outkast (Best Southern rappers)
Nas (One of the best on the East Coast)

I'm surprised by my lack of diversity on my list. I need to listen to more genres outside of rap lol.
