[QUOTE="tama, post: 7339528, member: 42232"] So a buddy of mine and I are having a discussion a few days ago about music. Now a little background about us is I enjoy all types of music but I prefer rock (Metal mostly) as it's what I grew up on. And he is a hip hop/rap fan and upcoming dj in the local area. Anways back to story he's a fairly new freind to me and for the while we've known each other he never knew I listened to hip hop/rap. Once he realized I did he was cool about it. On day on a road trip he's going through my ipod to scan what I have on there and makes this comment. "I noticed you just grab at random artist without researching in the hip hop scene." I didn't have the typical artist out on mainstream media. Artist I enjoy such as: GZA Masta Ace Heiroglyphics Tech N9ne Immrotal Technique Mobb Deep Gravediggaz Ill Bill Jedi Mind Tricks Reef Brotha Lynch........etc Now I do research and listen to samples before I purchase music and I explained this to him. But he seem to think most of the artist I had were underdeveloped and lacked sound production (which they may). So he lends me a mix cd of artist such as 50 cent, The Game, Jay-Z, etc...He's a big fan on west coast acts such as Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, as well as high profile artist like eminem. Too wrap this up a few days later he inquires what I thought on the cd and to his dismay I tell him I didn't enjoy these artist. To me their was something missing in their music in my opinion. We have a discussion about it and he kept asking what it was I didn't like. It got to a point were I said the music and those artist felt to commercial and unreal or unispired to me. And to this he took great offense as his next statement was these artist have sold millions of records and that in itself was a testament to their greatness ad millions of hip hop fans would disagree with me. That these artist have defined what hip hop is. While I disagree I gave him closing to this discussion. I didn't want to argue or agrivate him more. But it really upset him. I just want to know what the general senses of music is out there among individuals. Could be any genre or style of music. I've notice most of my taste tends to lay with lesser known acts or underground acts. I just can't get into musci on the radio these days. I find myself searching for artist as to me the lesser know acts tend to be better.:shrug: [/QUOTE]
