I am a hip hop head, but as my man NAS says, hip hop is dead... don't really listen to very many new cats out there now, but still gotta show love for the real artists out there i.e. the aforementioned, H to the Izzo, Common, etc...
Scarface, hands down..didn't even have to think about that one...
I am not one to read very much, until lately that is, and I would have to say that the BIBLE is my favorite book. Whenever I need some advice, a laugh, some encouragement, or just someone to say "damnit Frank, what the hell are u doin??", it's the book for me...
