JOHNNY "LOONATIC" RODRIGUEZ
R.I.P. 11/10/95 (MY BEST FRIEND)
Rapped way before I even knew I would even touch a microphone...I still believe he the one rappin for me when I am in that booth cause I was never known as a rapper....my gift was vocals. He gives me the agression I need to deal with this shit...and I always tell that mofucka to give it to me before I hit the booth.
Miss that cat like hell..."H.W.C."

when i need to get shit off my chest, or hearin someone go off on a song, like eminem's the way i am. I'm not a big fan of his shit, but that song is raw.
the other thing is i know i could change some lives with this rappin, and that inspires me to write too. I like to make people take a look at themselves and realize they could do better.
The biggest thing that makes me not write, is I'm not sure whether God approves of the way i rap or not. I know that if I don't rap in a way that would please God, my career will be over before it starts, either that, or i will succeed and be miserable.
Good thread tho

Tyrone DeAndre Kemp (January 16, 1983-March 1, 1996) R.I.P
If it weren't for him, I never would have started rappin, I don't think. He came from Tyler, TX...spit some raps his cousin was doin', and it just made me wanna do it. We both started freestylin' on the way to school (6th grade), and people to this day still remember me sittin in class bangin a beat on the desk, and rappin' to it. I gave up for a few months after he passed, then I got off my ass and penned STOP THE PAIN, which circulated the streets QUICKLY after it was recorded. Since then, I've been writing, I'm Tyrone's slave...I wrote 350 songs in less than a year right after he died, and I've been goin' ever since...I don't do this rap shit for me, I do this rap shit for us, and for everybody out there that knows how bad it feels when you're TRULY suffering. I'm not talkin about just being broke, I'm talkin about SUFFERING....when you lose shit that you couldn't imagine living without...shit that when you think about it, it's hard to breathe, and it's hard to want to. That's why I do this shit...
