RHH: HOW HAS YOUR HIP-HOP MUSIC TASTE CHANGED IN THE PAST YEAR?

Q: I probably wouldn't have liked guys like Big KRIT or Kendrick Lamar a year ago, but I think they dope.

Q2: Showbiz

Q3: Ludacris, I guess, but that's mostly because he's been garbage lately.

Q4: Yeah, Bizzare Ride II The Pharcyde

Q5: Yup, it's still MF Grimm.

Q6: Concious rap, I found it to be extremely boring, but I'm starting to get into it more.

Q7: Yeah, I definitely know more, but still not nearly as much as I'd like to.

Q8: I had an assumption that mainstream = more money, which I've learned is pretty untrue unless your a huge star. I find the business side in Hip-Hop extremely interesting so realizing this and finding this out changed my views about alot of things. Also rappers need better lawyers.

Q: Couldn't dig into OutKast for some reason, as soon as I heard from here that ATLiens is their best album, I heard it, and was able to get into their other stuff easily.

Q2: Kanye West

Q3: Eminem, until Recovery came out, I was a stan because I was new to rap music.

Q4: It went from 36 Chambers to OB4CL lol

Q5: It was Eminem, then Nas...now after listening much more - Rakim.

Q6: I like neo soul rap and jazz rap more.

Q7: Yes definitely, I found out a lot of new artists and great albums.

Q8: I thought that the older hip hop is - the better, because I heard less stuff that came out recently, only some mainstream, radio type of sh*t. Now I found out many new artists especially underground that are very talented.

Q: MF DOOM

Q2: Marco Polo

Q3: J. Cole

Q4: Nope, it went from Mecca and The Soul Brother to I Phantom

Q5: I never really had a favorite rapper, there's too many that each have their own different part in my life

Q6: West coast old school

Q7: Definitely because of this section, my music library alone probably multiplied by 5

Q8: I never knew about major labels stealing money from their artists against their contracts until recently this year

Q: Atmosphere

Q2: Idk

Q3: Nope

Q4: I didn't really have a favorite hip-hop album

Q5: Yeah same one, Del

Q6: Yeah sort of. For some reason I'm listening to hyphy music now? lol

Q7: Yeah, a little

Q8: If it wasn't for my cousin's leaving good music on a computer that my dad bought off of them, I would be listening to the **** on the radio

I've heard a lot of stuff that I hadn't heard before. So I know more about music in that sense...

Q: I wouldn't say that happened to me really.

Q2: Lord Finesse

Q3: Nah.

Q4: Probably was Illmatic a year ago, now it's OB4CL.

Q5: It changed from Biggie and Nas to Rakim.

Q6: Chill laid back jazzy type hip hop probably

Q7: I feel I know a lot more because I've listened to more music. I'm always trying to expand my musical IQ.

Q8: I learned to accept other people's opinions, and stopped being so I guess "stuck up" when I'd hear someone likes so and so, so that means they don't have good taste in music.

Q: Scarface, Xzibit, Royce Da 5'9

Q2: RZA, i didnt appreciate production as much back then

Q3: nothing I can thinkof straight away,maybe NWA

Q4: Nope, used to be Ready To Die, nowits 36 Chambers

Q5: no, was Biggie changed to Meth

Q6: erm i enjoy more concieus stuff

Q7: Yes, especially since I joined here and don't have many friends who are into hip-hop music like I am...[2]

Q8: Same thing you mentioned, i cant think of anything else atm

Q: I gave a second chance to Talib Kweli

Q2: Kno cause I didn't Kno him a year ago

Q3: I don't like Kurupt as much now, lol

Q4: No, it changed from The Slim Shady LP to First Born

Q5: No, it changed from Eminem to Eyedea

Q6: I love abstract hip hop and philosophical hip hop

Q7: Yeah, I think I know a lot more now

Q8: I didn't know that Eminem wasn't the best

Q1: Outkast

Talib Kweli

Q2: never really heard much of madlib's stuff before, but now I like him

Q3: Kid Cudi

Q4: no, used to be The college Dropout, now it's a tie between Liquid Swords and Things Fall Apart

Q5: Yea, Kanye's still my favorite

Q6: I used to only listen to alternative hip-hop, But now I listen to a lot of East coast stuff like Wu-Tang, Nas, Jay-Z

Q7: more, I used to only listen to a little hip-hop last year, now it's practically all I listen to besides a few alt. and 70's bands.

Q8: uhhhhh I dunno about this one.

Q: outkast, and i love them now

Q3: late 80s rap
