well i love all kinds of music.rap,hip hop,rock,oldschool,old rock, jazz, tejano, kumbia, latin rap,etc.. i like everything except country music and emo music <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />(its like nails on a chalkboard to me)but thats just me.

rap is in a bad state right now.even proclaimed rapper Nas has released a abulm called"hip hop is dead". there are still many respectable rappers out there ,you just dont hear them all the time. me and a friend believe that when biggie smalls and tupac shukar died,rap died with it. alot of people look at these guys in a bad way,but had shukar and smalls had they been allowed a longer life,its highly possible he could of brought good change.they spoke their minds and didnt have nonsense music,they had power in their lyrics. if you read some of shukars lyrics withought the music alot of it flows like poetry.
at this point now hip hop is in a vulnerable state,its part of todays culture and thats just the way things work. if someone blast their speakers then o well,its a free country they can do what they like. and i also tend to blast some music here and there but only to good songs and not one hit wonders. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> some songs i cant just beliive were created. each era of time has there preferred choice of muic and all the genres and the language and slang thing well thats life too,everyone in america doesnt have perfect language and everyone uses a litttle slang. i speak respectfully when i need to but when im with my friends well i dont care,i just want to have some fun and not feel governed. but recently i have studied the effects of music and our mood and its all very interesting.certain types of music has a effect on our mood thus if we hear a song with a lot of beat to it,it raises our adrenaline and makes u pumped up and ready to party, and then you have motivational and sad music.
its amazing what music can do to us.
