"I'm like three different rappers put together" boasts A.T.G. as he exhales a thick cloud of sweet smoke into the already cloudy atmosphere of the room. The 24 year old rapper got his start writing rhymes to pass time in high school and freestyling in the hallway. The Dallas rapper is known for straddling the line between mainstream/commerical rap and a more serious, lyrical form of hip hop.
"I grew up listening to everybody from Al B. Sure to Z-Ro, and pretty much anything in my parents twelve inch record collection, so I know more about black music than the average young cat with an ipod."
A.T.G. was heavily influenced by things such as Ice Cube's 'don't give a fuck' attitude, Slick Rick's story telling tactics, Ludacris' wild and out-of-this-earth punchlines and the booming and uptempo tracks of earlier cash money and no limit songs. The storytelling influence is evident on Beef and The Chevy Song, a song the Texas-born rapper wrote about how he got his car.
"I tried to do a little bit of everything on this album, not just sixteen club tracks and songs about ice", he says, "The general public is gonna get tired of hearing the same ol' shit on the radio."
