Lil Herb
The Source Talks With Hip Hop?s Next Trapstar, Lil Herb | The Source
So, what artist did you grow up listening to?
I grew up listening to Jadakiss, Jeezy, Gucci [Mane] Lil’ Wayne, Juelz [Santana,] you know, people out the Dipset. I fuck with Reasonable Doubt and Scarface. That’s who I fuck with, people who got lyrics.
When I talked to Drake, he said that he played some of my shit for Jay Z and he was fucking with it. That was the last I heard of it. Drake shouted me out on Hot 97 and on Twitter. (Drake Tweeted lyrics from Lil’Herb and Lil’ Bibby ‘s, “Kill Shit”).

Crooked I Credits Lil Wayne's Impact On Mainstream Lyricism | Get The Latest Hip Hop News, Rap News & Hip Hop Album Sales | HipHop DX
Speaking with HipHopDX about Lil Wayne's impact on mainstream Hip Hop, Crooked I detailed his respect for the Young Money rapper lyricism.
Explaining his take on Wayne’s effect on young Hip Hop listeners throughout his commercial success, Crooked I spoke about Tha Carter emcee’s penchant for “witty” one-liners.
“I think Wayne is one of the artists who really opened that gateway, there was a time where we weren’t getting anything in the mainstream,” Crooked I said in a clip that debuted as a part of the DX Daily today (September 30). “The underground always has flourished. You got so many layers of the game: you got the underground, you got the almost-famous, you got the famous, you got the super famous. So, in the super famous realm I don’t think that those fans were getting any lyricism. I think Wayne, I credit and salute him because when he was hopping on all those joints, he had some memorable one-liners that were witty, catchy, and clever at the same time. It made people start thinking, young people. I remember talking to’em at the barbershop, they’re like, ‘Yo, he is the best rapper alive.’ That was the best that they had heard.”Last edited by cmotany; 10-01-2014, 10:36 AM.

Influenced By:My influences are OutKast, Erykah Badu, Gnarls Barkley, ScHoolboy Q and Wayne. Q is a dude I listened to before €I came to TDE. He was the first one I listened to. I heard of Rock first, but Q is the first one, like his wordplay and his stories really made me listen to it.€Last edited by cmotany; 10-01-2014, 10:09 PM.
