1)HIP-HOP. It's trough this culture that I later discovered Soul (thanks Rza, Dre, Erick Sermon, Primo,...) and Reggae and even some salsa. I'm a huge hip-hop fiend but hey that's just music! I want to have the right to feed my soul with Black Thought, Common,Talib, Mos Def, to make "streetdreams" with G-Unit, Young Jeezy,Ricky Ross, D-Block, M.O.P... and to have a social life while dancin' on an Akon, Beyoncé or T-Pain song !
2) I'm a 80's baby so I was early exposed to a lot of english pop music like The Cure, The Stranglers,Depeche Mode..I guess that now that Timbo is using it, It's no longer a flaw ;)
3) Zairean music of course !
