AIM = "YA BOY STAN"
Huge music fan. HUGE.
Tastes almost always side with Hip Hop. Specifically Rap. The indescribable emotions and vibes conveyed by pure sound coupled with the intellectual expression of speech. Flawless.
Big fan of Midstream Rap. (Talib Kweli, Zion I, Hieroglyphics, Common, etc.) I feel that they have all the talent and charisma of Mainstream rappers without the burden of image to carry. Stressing over sales must have a huge toll on one's artistic abilities.
Zion I - Bird's Eye View
That's not to say that there isn't untainted gems in the Mainstream Rap scene. (Eminem, Nas, Tupac, the list goes on.) For the most part tho, I find the emotional/intellectual depth of most artists on the charts lacking.
T.I. - Prayin' For Help
Recently gained a taste for Westcoast Mob Rap. (Spice 1, Mob Figaz, MC Eiht,...) I say Westcoast in particular because it has a very distinct vibe and sound. I feel that other forms of Mob/Gangsta Rap celebrate the lifestyle as opposed to speaking on the past or just telling it how it is. (Well that's what the stuff I listen to talks about.)
MC Eiht - Streiht Up Menace
Got a soft spot for my Hyphy Shit. Can't nobody on the radio get you as hype as the folks in the Bay can. It does get a little tiring hearing it everywhere, but get into a club or a party and tell me you ain't got a sense of pride comin' from ya place of residence.
The Team - It's Gettin Hot
Big R&B fan. (Mario, Joe, Usher, Mariah Carey,...) Talented vocalization creates a nice smooth vibe that is really sort of addictive.
Chris Brown - Ain't No Way
Recently been getting into some Neo-Soul. (Lyfe Jennings, Goapele, Raphael Saadiq, John Legend,...) I must say i'm very impressed. This genre of music leaves me particularly susceptible to zone outs and sporadic bursts of appreciation.
Raphael Saadiq ft. Goapele, Ledisi - Different Times
Deep appreciaton for Acapella Songs. Really kind of dissapointed that no one makes this kind of music anymore, but I suppose you have to accept that things move in cycles.
Tension - Our Story (Acapella)
Recently found a love for Piano Instrumentals. Not to be confused with Piano Compositions. (Liszt... ew.) Mostly anime/video game themes or Piano versions of more recent music. Something about the simplicity of a Piano that keeps you listening for more.
Saiga Mitsuki - Tori No Uta
That's about it for my main tastes. Theres a couple gems from other genres that I mess with, but for the most part those are exceptions to rules. Nothing worth writing about.

Mmm, i'm not a huge fan of television. When they do come on though, I enjoy watching Family Guy, Simpsons, Futurama, Becker, and King of Queens. Oh yeah, and lots of Animal Planet.
And when the Prison Break season 2 DVDs come out, it's gonna be a wrap for my TV and my eyes.
