favorite type of music to listen to and to play- blues and jazz. especially les paul, who is my all time favorite artist.
as far as rap, it's just the whole white college party scene that i find incredibly stupid. that and i can't stand wiz khalifa or kid cudi (rapping about smoking weed and being inspirational? isn't that a bit paradoxical). most recent rap is freaking awful . it's all about pac, biggie, grand master flash and the 5, nas and mob deep, de la soul and ice cube. big pun and a tribe called quest,, run DMC and DMX. the roots ft john legend is one of my favorite albums ever. 90s > any thing created recently.
Although i do like the scholars and macklemore + a few other of the seattle kids. also nas puts out some gear. also a guy named "laws" has been real dope recently
