Will.i.am reveals his Queens hero who inspired him to rap today (4/17) on Roxanne Shante's Have A Nice Day on LL COOL J's Rock The Bells Radio. "This is surreal to me because I wanted rap because of you and Biz," Will told Shante. "This is emotional for me right now, because you kept me safe when I was in the projects."
A humbled Shante replied that she loves the fact that she inspired a generation. "I love being your big sister, and keeping everyone safe" she replied. "I love that I can take people back to a point in their childhoods when they can remember when it was like this and you did it like this, but I am also thankful that y'all are doing it like this!"
