If I am at a place where it is playing, I'll listen.
Time to bust or confirm an audiophile stereotype: David Chesky is wondering if you ever listen to rap or hip-hop music?
3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul is one of the most creative albums everthe fact that it is hip hop matters not to me. There are also classics by a Tribe Called Quest and Public Enemy that find their way into the rotation now and then. Gangsta Rap does not. Word!
Yes, but very rarely. I did like Public Enemy on occasion waaay back in the late '80s and sometimes some Eminem. Mostly, it's like most metal: For angry teens who want to fuzz the brain with noise. Just not that much there to work with.
I don't listen to rap on purpose, but occasionaly a rock song may have some rap added to it. But never when there is no "music" involved like most rap. Pete Townshend,s album Lifehouse elements has a version of "Who Are You" that has rap in the middle of it and is my favorite version of the song. Great album, rock, classical and folk versions of Who stuff. Recomended.
