Music:
I listen to a lot of different types of music, thanks to my dad, but I fuckin' DESPISE the radio. Good Lord. At any rate, I do like hip-hop (old Atmosphere, Blackalicious, De La Soul, Pharcyde, Gang Starr, RJD2, Hieroglyphics, Black Star, Quasimoto, Infectious Organisms, the Roots, Little Brother, Immortal Technique, A TRIBE CALLED QUEST), a little rap (Jay-Z, Big L, Wu-Tang, NWA, Biggie, Bone Thugs, Luda, a lil' Em, T.I. and especially Tupac), a lot of jazz/fusion (Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Stan Getz, Duke Ellington, Kirk Whalum, Stanley Clarke, Dave Koz, Pat Metheny, Charlie Parker, Herbie Hancock, Charles Mingus, Euge Groove, Chick Corea, Thelonious Monk, Al DiMeola, Louis Armstrong, Spyro Gyra, Dexter Gordon, Stanley Turrentine, Joe Sample, Jazz Crusaders, Incognito), oldies (EARTH, WIND & FIRE, Stevie Wonder, Jackson 5, the Supremes, Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, George Clinton, Otis Redding, War, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, THE CARPENTERS), a bit of classical/instrumental (Salsoul and Transiberian Orchestras, Alan Menken, Christophe Beck, Yo-Yo Ma), the blues (Z.Z.
