Tupac was an influence for so many people, and Eminem was one of them. He was really influenced by Tupac, as we could notice the similarity to express their emotions and personal experiences through their texts and Eminem himself claimed it, according to Golding, S. (2015) “He was just so good at evoking emotions through songs and I picked up so much from that". Also, both evoked political and social issues like racism and inequality, as we can evidence that in the songs "Changes"- Tupac and "White America"- Eminem.

Another influence of Eminem is Biggie smalls, who's influenced him in terms of theme ,technique and flow. And this major influence is reflected in Eminem's album 'The Marshall Mathers LP' in which we can notice the similarity of the theme and the denunciation of personal and social issues in this album with Biggie's "Ready to die". Also Eminem said in an interview, according to Bilderbeck, P. (2022) "Rappers like D.O.C., Tupac Shakur and Biggie. Those were all my influences. I would never be anywhere near where I am today if it wasn't for them."

Dr. Dre has had a big impact on Eminem as both a producer and a mentor, and it is evident as he introduced him to the hip hop industry and boosted his career by producing for him iconic albums and by collaborating together in songs like "Forgot about Dre", or "I need a doctor", in which Eminem claimed that influence "It was you who believed in me..".

Bob Marley had a big imprint in the music culture. And we could reflect the similarities between him and Booba in their texts by addressing social issues and racial inequality, and Booba even made a song called "Jimmy" in which he claimed those social issues in a Reggae style. Or in another song "Rebel" where he sampled Marley's "Is this love" in the Intro.

According to Dylan. (2022) Booba said "My favorite artist is Bob Marley".

Alpha Blondy

Alpha Blondy influenced Booba in many ways as one of his favorite artists, especially the African identity and heritage, which Booba references it a lot in his music. Another similarity is the rich lyrical skills, both are well known for their storytelling to describe their experiences, and also the ability to adapt to different musical styles and genres. According to Tabouleinfos.com. (2021) Booba payed tribute to him "Alpha Blondy's songs accompanied my childhood, he is a great man of music."

Influencer 1: Eminem

Eminem is one of the biggest rappers of all time. He influenced me first as a human, as he gave me the power of assuming myself and just being who I am, as he was showing his originality in his texts. and also as an artist, for his creativity and unique style, metaphors and lyrics skills and his ability to adapt to different styles over the years.

Influencer 2: Booba

Taha_omz — 2024-07-07 10:08:54 UTC

The biggest french rapper of all time, who had a big influence on me growing up. Always claiming for personal freedom, which is something I really admire, Booba has influenced many generations throughout his 20 years career. He introduced the autotune to the game as he revolutionized the French rap by bringing a touch of American style, mixed with dark melodies, and aggressive lyrics.
