They dont have to be the most Godly earth shattering multisyllable (I hate double time flows) type rappers but I'm looking for artist from the 2000s (preferably mid like 04 to 11) or current artists popping right now cuz I wanna start writing again but I dont wanna be influenced by all the super throwback 20 plus years old shyt

From the mids I'm talking
Lil Wayne (Carter 1 and after)
Rick Ross
Lupe Fiasco
Lloyd Banks
Fabolous
Juelz Santana
Pusha T
Game

Etc.

To the more current crop but already like 5 to 8 years out crop like

J.Cole
Freddie Gibbs
Kendrick
Jay Rock
Jay Electronica
Joey BadA$$
Mac Miller
Krit


And some of the new boys if u can like JID, Cordae, Anderson.Paak. Griselda etc

Please no Logic, Joyner Lucas or Russ I tried giving them all a listen recently and the Russ is the most decent and that shyt is trash

Yall got suggestions? I'm looking for high level non corny wordplay, dont gotta be street shyt or backpack just flows and bars that make u hit the :ohhh:

how about you be your own influence

I am, but I'm out of touch for a 30 year old who does music as a hobby cuz I got other engagements and I dont wanna sound outdated yet I definitely dont wanna be on that super distorted melodic druggie shyt cuz I can rap my ass off. I actually like what Da Baby is doing as a 27 year old who clearly has traditional bars but dude is current. But you can exit the thread if you just gon make snide comments tho

Bro this thread is like asking who's your top 5, it's never going to end and it's just going to be everyone personal preferences. Like breh said just be your influence. Let your life's experiences your observations shine through your art. As you listen to shyt you like you will be influenced subconsciously and eventually you will stumble upon your voice. All the best in writing don't hesitate to share

it's genuine advice even if you're out of touch you can genuinely do your own thing let the beats you enjoy dictate how you rap

Def gonna share and network again on here theres a huge well of indie and even well known talent, we did 2 coli mixtapes way back I was one but I had found my 'voice' yet now I made this thread cuz I'm fine tuning it, I'm definitely in the vein of a mick jenkins, prime drake, but with more aggressive influences like kdot and gibbs (not as much as tho) but the beats I like are weird odd future travis scott sounding joints so I wanted to test the temperature to see what's going on with these kinda artists cuz that dreamville 3 was flames I liked it way more than I thought I would. Thank you all for the advice and reaching out tho
