    Graf is an element of Hip Hop… so imitating and adding your own twist has always been a part of the creative process. Artists have always “borrowed” from each other….just like Mc’s and Dj’s have sampled music from the past….it’s like regurgitation…..inspiration…..influence, whatever you wanna call it. (just make it your own)

    Theres no shame in learning through imitating. Eventually you find your own style through taking little bits from pieces youve seen and like, then spending hours moulding them into something thats yours. Any successful creative person whether it be music, comedian or artist will tell you this.
    Its not where you take from thats important, but where you take it to.
