Kanye To The: Kanye West

Light hearted thread here:

Where'd y'all get y'all names?

and who are your top three influences

---

got the name from my friends

1. tiesto
2. armin van buren
3. lex luger

Got mine from my mother.

Top 3:
1. Kanye
2. Nas
3. Lupe

But I'm honestly influenced by so many people, every genre. This is if I HAD to pick 3.

the name came to me

1. My Father
2. Em
3. Big

I used to really love that comic
And I used the name as all my email addresses, usernames and **** for ages before I even thought about ever making hip hop music, so I just stuck w it

It's too difficult for me to pick my top 3 influences tbh because I try and learn something from every artist I listen to, and it changes every day. I'm not trying to emulate anybody, and they all have influence on me if I like em

my name is Alexander, before AX it was AXR. I kinda got that from AZ, his name comes from Antony Cruz, so first and last letter of his whole name. I figured I would so something similar but use the start, middle and end of first name. But I dropped the R cus I just felt AX sounded simple enough. Might change it soon though.
