When I listen to their music, it inspires me and makes me want to keep producing. I want to become as good as them and that is what keeps me going. There is something about epic music that makes you want to do something great.

I have a problem:
I have no motivation + inspiration for new music. Is this just a phase or something? I don't want to stop making music, but maybe a inspiration pause helps?
Thanks for that, will listen to it as soon as I can.

Ah, yes. The producer malaise. what a pain. Here's what I recommend. Go listen to a couple of the most mind-blowing tracks you've ever heard. Then
don't try to replicate them. Just let their melodies sit in your head for a couple of hours, and sooner or later you'll probably have a new melody pop into your head. Then make a song with that melody.
but don't listen to your reference tracks. You'll be more creative trying to figure out what gave you the pumped up feeling, than copy-pasting it.
Secondly, learning a little music theory helps too, by which I mean, learning structure. I didn't realize that rap verses typically had 16 bars until a few years after i was writing them. Once I learned that, verses were much easier to write because I was no longer just trying to create a formless stream of epic. Also, learning structure and music tropes lets you make "surprises" in your music easier. Hope this helps
