A lot more influences obviously but these are my favorites and the ones most prevalent in my music I think (the ones which have transformed me :D). A lot of hip hop influences too in some stuff, but I don't really know who the producers have been (their work is what would be noticeable). Some very inspirational artists though are (or have been):
2Pac
A Tribe Called Quest
Blackalicious
Common
Cypress Hill
Da Bush Babees
De La Soul
Dr. Dre
Eminem
Fugees
Ken Ring
Mos Def
Proof
Talib Kweli
The Roots
Timbuktu
Lately I've been checking out a lot of classical music and I really seem to enjoy Chopin and Tchaikovsky especially. Some classical music feels cluttered with too many notes for me though so it becomes redundant. I guess I didn't realize I would come back to the music which was in one of my favorite movies as a kid, Fantasia...... Debussy is amazing too!
Oh and I suspect video game music/sounds have been a big influence! :D
Of course all the great people on here!
