The legendary Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am says he doesn’t dig Tupac and Notorious B.I.G.‘s
music, and he has got good reason for not worshipping the late rap icons as it has been the norm — he doesn’t relate to their music!!!
Will graced the veteran rapper Skillz‘s podcast, “Hip Hop Confessions” … and says the legends’ music didn’t “speak to his spirit.”
He also speculated … had he absorbed Biggie and 2Pac’s
raps, he would’ve been stuck in his L.A. hood instead of touring
worldwide with his multi-platinum group.
It’s an interesting discovery, especially since Will has on many occassions credited late N.W.A co-founder Eazy-E — AKA “The Godfather of Gangsta Rap” — numerous times for jump-starting his career.
Will says acts like A Tribe Called Quest, Eric B. and Rakim
and De La Soul were way more influential to BEP than Pac and B.I.G. …
which is totally evident in their music.
