In an article for complex (Johnson,2018), Eminem talked about LL cuts "like "Mama Said Knock You Out" and "Damage" as he continued to gush. ""Damage!' I'm like 'Yo, did he?" You wrote that?" Em said. "I always wondered that 'cause I'm like, 'God damn.' He's just in the middle of the song screaming ,'damage!' And the energy of it was like 'God damn. I want to fuck my room up.'""

In songs Like 'white Ameirca' and 'The way I am'  you can see the influence of this raw emotional energy of LL cuts in his performance and writing.

Eminem discussing Heavy D's influence in an article for Showbizz CheatSheet (Jackson,2020) "I have nothing but the utmost respect for that dude, and he was one of the most underrated rappers to me because he was like a chameleon. He could get on a song with Treach and keep up. He had commercial hits, and then he could go…”

One of my favourite things about Marshal Mathers is his similar shapeshifting nature. He has himself Marshall Mathers and also 'Eminem' and 'Slim shady.' With Marshal Mathers/ Eminem he could sing his more emotional depth songs rapping about growing up with an unstable mother then with to to Slim shady for goofy, punk F the system and intentionally offensive songs. Can see the chameleon influence of Heavy D

According to Marshall Mathers. "made him want to be a rock star" (Edwinnortiz,2013)

From his break out songs like My Name Is being and the real Slim shady. Unashamedly the centre of attention. His first hit song literally just told everyone his name.

Hayley Williams on U2 "who are massive, and do whatever they want, write whatever they want and they stand for something,"  (Thompson, 2007)

"It reminded me of when we all first met, listening to A Rush of Blood to the Head by Coldplay, Isola by Kent, Radiohead, Deftones. It’s just some really melodic but still heavy-hitting moments and rock music that we love,”  Hayley Williams discussion influence of deftness and others in Alternative Press (Hardman,2023)

Can see this influence in songs such as riot the combination of really melodic and heavy hitting rock

Heavily influenced Paramore

Shifting Hayley Williams to alternative style instead of mainstream pop.

“The first time I heard this song really changed everything for me; I wanted to be able to sing everything – every single note – she could sing,” Williams said. “This song jolted me out of my boyband phase, and her voice still inspires me.”
(Taysom, 2023) She's in punk rock never looked back.

Strong Lyrical influence on Taylor Swift.
Talking about fallout boy to Rolling Stone magazine Taylor said

"Their songwriting really influenced me, lyrically, maybe more than anyone else. They take a phrase and they twist it. 'Loaded God complex / Cock it and pull it'? When I heard that, I was like, 'I’m dreaming.'" (Hiatt, 2019)

I can hear this in the way so many of her song hooks become twisted saying, need to calm down, look what you made me do and shake it off.

Taylor swift was influenced by the dixie chicks the best way to put it is in attitude.

Taylor Swift told billboard according to Refinery 29
"They taught me that creativity, eccentricity, unapologetic boldness and kitsch can all go together authentically. Most importantly, they showed an entire generation of girls that female rage can be a bonding experience between us all the very second we first heard Natalie Maines bellow ‘that Earl had to DIE.’” (Morin, 2020)

I hear this in songs like ME. The combination of kind of campy aesthetic, point blank honesty about herself "I know never think before I talk" whilst raging at Brenda Urie

Taylor swift was influenced by Paul McCartney in a more general way of just writing simply and honestly about his love life.

talking to Far Out Magazine about how she learned from him she said.

“Paul writes about his life and the things he’s learned about love in such a brilliantly simple way. I feel as if I’ve been let into his heart and his mind.”  (kemp, 2022)

I can see this in songs like I knew you were trouble "the saddest fear, comes creeping in, that you never loved me...

She has influenced me by being ruthlessly honest and autobiographical committed to writing about what she's going through. Using music to work through emotions and experiences.

just shamelessly fun simultaneously independent and a badass but kind of childish.

lyrically instructional songs i.e need to calm down, shake it off,

Telling long lyrical stories.Taking on a lyrical journey

teaching not to put up with crap

winding emotional stories

Making me feel unbelievably goofy

Having fun with lyrics for the hell of it, also enjoying the kinetic thrill of rhyming and raping.

Comedic and goofy pulling form unusual pop culture influences such as childhood cartoons, superhero tv shows, trash TV

Songs that helped get me though hard times. Music that gives the feeling of faith in a way you can't get from scripture.

# data[].attributes.body
Music that heals your pain. I would be in a really bad place without Hayley Williams. Songs that gives you hope that can only be sung by someone who has gone though hardship. Someone very much reaching out a hand to guide you.

Inspired to save another person
Music that give the feeling of faith at an experiential level in a way that scripture can't.

Takes you away from a bad place

Written by someone who KNOWS what hardship is like

Just perfect

Combining the paradoxical spirituality of being yourself whilst selflessly sacrificing for others

Intense vulnerability in lyrics
