I don’t have a specific time frame, little known, or the biggest names there are that I just haven’t taken notice of.
I’ve always thought of myself as somebody who appreciates good music, no matter what the genre, and as im filling up the new iPod i wanted to see if anybody could suggest some stuff that will just completely blow my mind.
As far as stuff i listen to that i like, I have quite a bit of Kanye and Nas, they haven’t lead me too wrong so far, I think I listened to Hip Hop is dead for every new max attempt during my sophomore year.
Kanye bugs me sometimes with his personality, and i hate that he thinks he’s a singer now, but they guys stuff is just produced so damn well.
Theres a song that Timbaland did called Bounce that I really like, features a bunch of other people.
Also, I really like T.I right now, that song he did with Timberlake at the Grammys, “Dead and Gone” ive been listening to that like once a day since i heard it.
I remember when he came out Rubberband man like 6 years ago, liked him then too.
