Never really. I went through my rap phase all growing up and in high school. I listened to any rap music I could get my hands on in middle school and high school, so no one really told me anything about 'white music'

In college I started to branch out and listen to rap less and less where it's to the point where I don't really listen to rap anymore. Now I'm too old to give a fukk about what people think is acceptable. I just listen to what I like :yeshrug:

not really. turned a lot of them on to bass music. I remember having my cuban homie bumpin square pusher out his whip once.

I mostly like electronic music because I'm a bass addict. In highschool I used to listen to hard house (remember the tetris song?) and hardcore, folks would just be like "thats tommy :manny:"

Having grown up in the 90's when hip hop, r&b, pop, and alternative rock were all huge and MTV made sure you were exposed to all of it, no. I love a lot of the alt rock from that era - red hot chili peppers is my GOAT group (since I'm a Californian), green day held it down for punk, of course nirvana, sound garden, Alice in chains for grunge, incubus was another group I loved, and the list goes on...we won't even get into me being the person to make my friends listen to no doubt back when Gwen was "just a girl". Anyone I met knew I loved music...grew up playing jazz...so me liking music beyond the typical soul/funk/r&b/hip hop artists was a given and expected.

I still travel through genres, a few years ago I got big on trip hop/lounge shyt like telepopmusik, thievery corp, moloko, etc. fukk the criticism, music is universal, the people who don't try to hear the beauty when exposed to genres that don't regularly listen to are closed minded, who cares if they have some slick shyt to say to you, it's their loss
