Rap is the number one most influential thing, it's the only genre that really strikes a chord. When you sing, you feel a certain way and it makes you feel good, but when you rap, it just strikes a chord a whole different way.
TygaI didn't know what to expect, but [Alexander] Wang is a great guy. He's always invited me front row to shows, and I performed at a few of his after-parties.
TygaWhen I started getting into West Coast rap - The Game, then I started studying a lot of Tupac Shakur and watching his interviews.

TygaI didn't get into Tupac [Shakur] until a little later, once I started understanding rap and people's stories. Eminem was the first rapper that I actually started dissecting the lyrics, and once I got attached to his stories, then I started listening to Dr. Dre, then Snoop 'cause they were all under one camp.
