I don't know, I guess it's an environment thing.
In my neighborhood, all I heard coming from the cars and boomboxes was rap. If it wasn't for my dad, I probably wouldn't have known anything about rock until I met a rock fan personally. I didn't learn about country until I was like 10, when my aunt started watching me afterschool, and sometimes watched me at her home... a trailer... and yeah, trailer parks are generally filled with country-music loving trash, lol, but there were some nice people too.
They all thought my brother and I were crazy, because we brought rap and hip-hop culture with us when we went over there. There is one good thing I got out of that though, I was taught how to fish over there, and to this day I love fishing, though I rarely get a chance to do so, living in an urban setting.

beleive it or not, i was originally big into country, but overtime i switched to rap and today i like every kind of music except country.MarioFanatic

That's basically how I was as well. My mom basically RAISED me on country music, especially the "classic" country.

Actually, the story of how I got into hip-hop is actually pretty awkward. But when I was about 9 or 10, which was around the year 1999, everyone in my sub-division was into pop groups like NSync, Backstreet Boys, etc. and everybody was buying that No Strings Attached NSync CD, so I bought it myself. That's when I started liking the "popular" music. Well, when I moved down south at about 10 years of age, I listened to the mainstream stations that played a variety of the pop that I liked, rock, and hip-hop. That's when I heard of artists like Ja Rule, Nelly, Ludacris, and a handful of mainstream rappers that were played on the radio at the time.

Well, as time went on, in 2002, I bought my first hip-hop CD, The Eminem Show, because of the song "Without Me." Then I continued to listen to more of the mainstream artists more than ever. Oh, and I also grew out of the "pop" music phase, too. But it wasn't until I found this hip-hop forum in 2005 that I started to get serious with my hip-hop listening. Now, I still listen to SOME mainstream music, but I like to listen to what you guys consider the "good" stuff also. I'm still a n00b when it comes to the knowledge of hip-hop, but I'm learning;) And The Eminem Show still remains as the only hip-hop CD that I have:oops: (I really need a job......)
