For the most part, my tastes in music center around Hip-hop/R&B and Jazz, but my tastes have expanded quite a bit over the years largely because most rap music nowadays SUCKS SO FUCKING HARD ARRRGH!!!! to include everything from classical to metal to techno-ish... so here's a little taste of it.


1. Bounty Killer feat. The Fugees - Hip-Hopera -- This is a strange mix of reggae, hip-hop, with a few classical and techno overtones. It's weird, but I like it.

2. Lost Boyz - Music Makes Me High -- These guys grew up about 9 blocks away from me, so I have to put them up here. This is more energetic party hip-hop.

3. Wyclef Jean feat. Product G&B, and Earth, Wind, and Fire - Runaway -- This is a good blend of 70's soul and modern R&B.

4. Rakim - Follow the Leader and Uplift-- Rakim (with DJ Eric B.) was one of the pioneers of rap music in the early 80's. Why more people don't worship him, I'll never know. The former is was one of his biggest hits in the late 80's, while the latter is one of his more recent efforts

5. Hanz Zimmer - Roll Tide -- This is the main opening theme, from the score to the movie Crimson Tide.

6. Johann Pachabel - Canon -- A classical piece performed on strings.

7. Klaus Badelt - He's A Pirate, and The Black Pearl -- All from the score of the film Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl. The first one is filled with energy, which is why I think it fits for Nate Grey, while The Black Pearl has a certain elegance to it.

8. Junichi Nakatsuru - If There Were Any Other Way and No Turning Back -- From the videogame Soul Calibur II. The former has a more desperate feel to the music, while the later has this spanish sound that I like.

9. Hanz Zimmer - A Hard Teacher -- From The Last Samurai movie score, this is actually very light, airy, and kinda soothing.

10. Art of Noise - Moments In Love (extended mix) -- this is an odd soft jazz, techno, industrial mix, that works.

There will be more stuff added later tonight. I just don't feel like uploading it to yousendit right now.

Awww, you don't LIKE the ghettolicious beats and rhymes of shining paragons of talent like 50 Cent and Chingy?

I go way beyond 'not really fond of' clear to 'omg turn that shit off'. Chingy makes me want to punch a baby and 50 Cent is a one trick pony. I will cop to the fact that I have 'Magic Stick' and 'In Da Club' on my iTunes BUT ONLY JUST BECAUSE.

And of COURSE my younger sister is all about crappy gangstah rap. Blaring out of her room 24/7. >_< *clamps headphones over her ears tighter*

And then you've always got the really embarassing songs that you don't even know WHY you have them...but then always manage to come up on the Party Shuffle when you're friends are listening to your music. Everytime. That 'Pink Dinosaur' song from DDR. Why do I even have that?

Hahaha, I willingly have Pokemon-related songs on my iTunes. Hi, I'm a dork.

Aiiiiiieeeee, omgNO. I do not want him to be hauled to the slammer any sooner than that. D: It's just that Ramon AND Hips and...well, everyone else now is under the impression he has to go NOW since Claire pitched a fit about the agreement Hips and Leon made. And Ramon just wanted her to STFU and get offa Hips' case, so he asked what she wanted, she said 'you behind bars' and Ramon goes 'kay :/' and yeah. So as it is, until Leon says so, everyone's thinking that the prior deal has been dissolved and he has to go to prison ASAP.

...New meeting scene is in order? :D? To rework/reinstate the agreement?

Dude. You should SO gimmee some of your Animaniacs music.

Yeeeeeah, still, like I said, IC, everyone thinks that Ramon needs to go to the pokey NOW. And he himself is under that impression that he's required to immediately instead of waiting for Saddler to reappear, lest Claire keep bitching and hating Hips. They need to hear it from Leon that there's no immediate rush and that the prior agreement still stands. Since they both think said agreement was blown outta the water by what resulted of Claire's tantrum. :/

Good to see there are still people who like Jazz.

God, all of this music makes me want to play my alto so bad.

No kidding.

I'm sure you wouldn't suck at it. If you have played an instrument for a while, then take a break, you usually get back to your original skill level after an hour or so of playing.

And, damnit, I'm never going to sleep at this rate. Never.
