...Let's talk about the kind of the music I like! :D
I'm actually into producing beats. Yeah, I'm sort of a noob at it, but only after a week when I first started, I've produced Hip Hop beats better than any of my friends who have been doing it for years...So me thinks I got some talent. XD
I basically have no genre restrictions. If it sounds good, I like it. But I actually grew up listening to Reggae and Dancehall, because my brother was such a hardcore listener. Day in, day out. All you would ever hear in my house was Reggae and Dancehall... Memories. :)
ANYWAYS, since I am just a puny little 15-year-old boy, and happen to be black (shocking, right? :P), I'm automatically stereotyped to listening to nothing but Hip Hop. Yes, that statement would be true, if you said it maybe, 5 years ago, but that's not my case.
I'm beating around the bush, let's get into it. :)
------------------------------------------
I LISTEN TO:
Hip Hop/Rap
R&B
Reggae/Dancehall
Rock
A little bit of Techno (well, I have like, 5 songs. :lol: )
Alternative (Meaning stuff like Rise Against, P.O.D., Paramore.)
Those are my main interests, but I'm open-minded and I'll listen to anything that sounds good. If someone else suggests me a song they like, I'd happily check it out to see if I like it. (*As a heads up, Death Metal is a major turn off for me. I tried to like it, but I'd always get a migraine. :lol: )
------------------------------------------
Artists and bands that I'm particularly interested in (to name a few):
Asher Roth - Hip Hop/Rap
Eminem - Hip Hop/Rap
The Game - Hip Hop/Rap
Kanye West (Yes, I do like his music, APART from his album, 808s & Heartbreak. That album was icky. -.-) - Hip Hop/Rap
Kardinall Offishall - Reggae, Dancehall, Hip Hop
LUPE FIASCO - Favorite Rapper of ALL TIME. :D Hip Hop/Rap
Mavado - Dancehall
T.I. - Hip Hop/Rap
P.O.D. - Alternative Rock
Paramore - Alternative Rock
Foo Fighters - ???
METALLICA! 8)
Motley Crue - Rock
Daniel Tidwell - He's actually an up-and coming phenomenon. Search his name on YouTube. He does lots of cool video game theme music, and actually has an entire album dedicated to video game covers.
Linkin Park - ...Well, I like their older stuff. xD
Nirvana - I currently only have 2 of their songs: Smells Like Teen Spirit and Drain You. I'll get into them sooner or later.
Rise Against - Alternative Rock
------------------------------------------
So, that's a little segment of what I like to listen to! :)
I actually spend quite a bit of my time listening to video game music myself, mainly stuff from Chrono Trigger, the FF series, some Tekken songs...They have such great soundtracks. :)
SO, if anyone actually reads this (:lol: ) Tell me what you think of my tastes. ;) And maybe you could introduce me to some new stuff. Who knows, I may become an addict. :lol:
