Anyone here into Hip Hop? If so, what kind are you into? I see a lot of people here are into electronic music but no one speaks of hip hop so I'm wondering...
I'm an aspiring producer and DJ...you can check out some of my tracks at myspace.com/enzotanaka along with some concert pics.
I'm not a fan of hip hop.Classical Music is more my style :)
Heavy metal for me mostly Judas Priest.
And Beastie Boys
A combination of heavy metal 90's style and classical music.
I like some hip-hop, mostly just old school stuff like NWA and Eazy-E.
I listen to all kinds of music, but as far as hip-hop goes, I'm into Underground/Independent stuff: Living Legends, Project Blowed, Jedi Mind Tricks, MF Doom, Madlib, Mr. Lif, KRS-1, Gangstarr, Heiroglyphics/Del, Tribe CQ, De La Soul, Talib Kweli, Blackalicious/Gift of Gab, Eyedea & Abilities, 2Mex, Pete Rock, DJ Shadow, Jurassic 5, as well as old school such as Run DMC and Eric B. & Rakim, classic Wu, etc...
I'll listen to some of your stuff when I get to my good computer and let you know what I think.
Stookie, we seem to share a lot of the same tastes...I actually worked with project blowed for a second... im mostly into golden era stuff myself..aka Gangstarr, Digable Planets, Jeru, I'm a huge Wu fan, De La, Tribe, Nas, Cormega etc etc...
I see you guys on the metal... my favorite band is Rage Against the Machine.
Your beats are pretty good. It sounds like you're a vinyl kind of guy? I like it. I've been collecting a bit of vinyl myself lately.
Rage is great, especially their first album. I used to listen to Tool constantly. I love punk. Ramones, Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Sex Pistols, Rancid, NOFX. And I own everything Jimi Hendrix. I've studied every song down to every note. Same with Bob Dylan. I also like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Carl Perkins. But my all time favorite type of music is the Blues. (this should probably be it's own "music" post)
Rock and metal
like:
System of a Down
Avenged Sevenfold
Rage Against the Machine
Atreyu
Children of Bodom
Archenemy
Antiflag
Blink 182
Korn
Slipknot...
Oh and some emo music....More but im too lazy to think
thanks stookie.... yeah i prefer sampling but im known to do synth beats every once in a while.... i love jimi hendrix too...i was obsessed with him for a good while. I love punk too, my favorite band is the Dead Kennedys. Blues is dope too, tho I'm more of a Jazz cat. Miles, Billie Holliday, Nina Simone..
Do you guys like the band Clutch?? I recently discovered their stuff even though theyve been around for years.
Oh yeah, I've got quite a jazz collection too. A couple weeks ago I found this antique store near my house that has tons of reggae albums at $1 apiece. I've been having a blast digging through those.
man, it seems like all the record shops around here are closing down....i think id go crazy digging thru 1 dollar reggae albums...
