I am a firm believer that music is one's soundtrack to life. That being said: Amerie...damn, Damn, DAMN...since before the first album! Joey-I-EZ, big ups to Joe Buddens, good peoples. I'm more-less a soulful type of fella (ie: Nas, Jaheim [good looking out for Jersey], Vivian Green ;+), 50 BEFORE the hype, The LEGENDARY Roots Crew, Kweli, Mos Def, BIG of course, Jay, Common, MAXWELL, Lauryn Hill & the Fugees, Anthony Hamilton, John Legend, Floetry, Heather Hedley, Kindred, D'angelo, Musiq, Kem, Jill Scott, Raphael Saadiq, LYFE, Donnell Jones, Ne-Yo, Ghostface, Scarface, Mobb Deep, CNN, etc.) yet VERY diverse. HEAVY on the Reggaeton, anything with PUN, something about Evanescence & Nickelback & 3 Doors Down that sticks to my ribs, Linkin Park, I do my grown-man thing on occassion (Sinatra & Tony Bennet hold me down when I'm feeling some type of way), not really into the Down South thing unless it's TI or Wayne, and under no circumstances do you mess with my slow jams! Oh yes, and Nivea is scrumptious. :)~
I'm not really in to television; the media exhausts so many resources trying to distract the public that it has become a rarity to find anything worth watching. Aside from The Discovery/Learning/Science/History/Discovery Times/Military Channel, sometimes I find myself watching those early morning CNN & MSNBC business shows, 20/20, Dateline, etc. BUT...I DO get down w/ The Wire (realest ish on tv), The Sopranos of course, Entourage is my sh*t, Def Poetry, Grey's Anatomy, a little bit of Mrs. Longoria-Klotzbuecher-Cruz on Desperate Houswives, and The Simpsons.
The Holy Bible, the Holy Qua'ran, The Art of War, Prince Machiavelli, Confucious' The Analects, The Catcher in the Rye, Invisible Man, The Souls of Black Folks, McKay's militant tone, The New Negro Anthology, The Wealth of Nations, Plato's Veritas, anything by Toni Morrison, modern American poetry, The Kama Sutra...I'm in BME...not much time to read for leisure. Trying to get to The 5 People You Meet in Heaven when time permits. And I'd definately like to see what's up with this DaVinci Code thingy.
