Guilty Simpson is projected by many to be the next underground emcee to have a strong ‘07 following Black Milk and Phat Kat.
ThaHipHop.com senses the building buzz for the Stones Throw emcee. In a new interview, Guilty is asked about his influences and a favorite of his, Kool G Rap.
Talking a little about your style, who would you say has had a strong influence that inspired you, like not necessarily who was the best at the time, but who made you just be like, “Damn!”
Well, I was really influenced strongly by Kool G Rap, Scarface, and Big Daddy Kane. I love Special Ed, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, and Boot Camp Click. It was a lot of people, because at that time there was so much quality music coming out that almost everything coming out I would like because there was so much variety in the game at that time. I like a little bit of everything, but Kool G Rap and Scarface, those two dudes right there are at the top of my list. I think that will basically sum up my style in general, not saying I’m taking from those two dudes. I can appreciate East coast Hip Hop and southern Hip Hop all together, and that falls back to Detroit being a gumbo, but as far as lyricists, Kool G Rap is my top guy.That’s a good choice, I wasn’t expecting that, but that’s a really good choice.
G Rap’s been the nastiest dude ever, to me, forever.
He still has it too.
Oh yeah, and if you really pay attention to the game there’s a lot of people that have borrowed from him and become more successful with his style than him, but Kool G Rap can kinda be like your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper so to speak. Anybody that’s really into Hip Hop can acknowledge him as a phenomenal lyricist.
