I'm going start off by sayin' back when hip hop was at it's purest form you know the 90s. I really didn't like it that much. I liked the alt. Rock, then my brother would play "13th floors/growin old" by Outkast and that's when it started to make alittle more sense, So over the next 6 years I started to see more hip hop cds in my collection, but I still wasn't convinced that this was better then my alt. Music. so like I said over the next 6 years songs came and went and cds came and went. all 30 of my cds I had. Note: I was like a young teen so that ment alot to get those stole. After that I started tapin' videos on the tv, I don't do it that much anymore but once in awhile and I Started watchin bet. One day this boy named, what was his name, oh yeah nothing big this boy named Talib Kweli LOL. Talib changed my views so much that I kicked Alt. for hip hop that year. It was 2002 when I changed over, "Waitin' for the DJ" that was the song that did it for me. Even thought I liked Kweli. I started in the commerical zone like Nelly was big then, Diddy, Busta, Compliation cds because I was one of those people that could respect the artist because I would think they would only have 1 to 3 good songs. That's changed. 2003 my views were still in the commerical zone but new lyrical artist were comin into my life. Note: back in 2000 when Nas Came out wit "Stillmatic" that was one of those cds that I couldn't help but love. 2004 This was the big change right here. It's kinda strange because he is the same but is so different now because Kanye West's "The College Dropout" Official got me on. I had to here everything I was buyin' cds all over the place that year. Jay-Z, Young Gunz, Mos Def, Talib Kweli and etc. Note: If any of ya'll have heard of a Dreamcast game called Jet Grind Radio, That introduces me to J5 and I couldn't get enough of them but "Power In Numbers" was my first Cd of got of their's in 2002. Another Note: I started readin' music magazines that year and my influences started comin from those and also rock music started to come back into my life that year. 2005 I was a totally different music listener this year. Forget everything I just told ya'll once I heard of MF DOOM, the underground was mine, I still don't know every single underground artist but I know alot of them. Also this was the year my musical knowledge grew the most in I would stay 16 or 17 years. It was crazy, I found out somethin' alot people today can't take into consideration music has no language, if it's good music you can vibe wit the music and like what they stayin even if you don't understand. I crossed alot of borders that year. 2006 what more can I say you look and see how it has grew my album list is 212 but add about 80 more cds on top of that and that's my collection. See I tell people I love music so much I can literally talk to everybody from the Rock listener to the R&B listener to even a person who likes Latin Music. (Not so much Hard Rock and Country listeners it's not really my still) That's why I like this site so much because ya'll real, and alot of ya'll like the same stuff like and you don't find alot peole where I'm from that like the type of music I like.

But if you read one thing from this read this: I'm the Jazz-rap type. And ya'lls my ninjas up in here.
