I like to watch good boxing matches, or play fighting games because they give me that 'survival' 'go out swinging' feel
Would like to hear everyone's thoughts on this since I've always wondered about it

My writing motivation almost wholly stems from other artists. Sometimes I just hear some shit like a bar or a punchline and get a jolt of something in my head that not just inspires me but almost forces me want to write & try topping it creatively. I guess I ride the momentum of things that impress me & try to emulate that feeling with content of my own, be it song-writing or battle related content.
Aesop Rock is one of the best examples of this with me, not only does he have a rabbit hole of a discography but his grasp on evoking imagery with English is just pretty unparalleled. Sometimes I bump his tracks just to write after listening.
