It was something that came to be from mass hysteria regarding masturbation and it ' s quite a recent phenomenon . The % being circumsized is going down fast though . <| sep |> I write country songs mainly . With hip hop i can play my guitars and bass over some hard ass drums and have no boundaries . I can make something without samples or i can take a song from a cassette tape , vhs , vinyl or the internet and twist and turn it into something new . I can then sing on it and twist and mangle that . No Nashville Grid for me . AKA the standard . Thats what inspires me . Also my engineering approach now being informed by hiphop helps get more gigs in the singer songwriter and metal areas . Im pretty new to hip hop . Started making it back in 2011 . Been a countryblues musician since 2001 though .
