Wow, you must have some real deep and complex thoughts if Kanye is your idol

truly tragic thread

read a lot, and I mean not only lyrics but also actual books, it's good for inspiration

write a lot, not only lyrics, whatever the hell you feel like writing

always be willing to take criticism if not accept it, to keep constantly writing and rewriting what you make as to constantly improve. that's pretty much it.

I linked more than Kanye. I don't like stuff like Nick Drake and AJJ, I want to be a rapper.

Second this advice. Reading and writing is the best thing you can do to improve your lyrics and find more creative ways of expressing your emotions.

I'm also writing rap but he need to branch out and listen to more styles of music and find inspiration from there. What style are you going for, anyway? Pop rap?

I listen to other styles, but I don't know how to implement that inspiration.
>Pop rap?
Yeah, I suppose so. Kanye is my favorite artist and who I aspire to be like. I want to have a blended style so I'll have songs that are straight hip-hop, some that are pop/R&B, and some that are all three. I want to be able to go from Kanye/A$AP Rocky to Andre 3000 (specifically his stuff on The Love Below) to Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson.
