What y'all listen to besides Bay rap and/or hip-hop in general?

[Da Yayologist]

I dig a lotta old jazz (Coltrane, Miles, old 40-60s' Blue Note, Verve, Prestige, Black Jazz, etc.), classic soul/R&B (Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, pretty much all Motown, Al Green, Teddy Pendergrass, Deneice Williams, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Barry White, Curtis Mayfield and hundreds of others), funk (Isleys, Con Funk Shun, Cameo, G. Clinton, James Brown, Willie Hutch, Earth, Wind, And Fire...etc.) 80s' electronic/freestyle music and some of todays' shit too, reggae, (Peter Tosh, Black Uhuru, Marley, etc.) and some rock (Nirvana, Rage Against The Machine, Pearl Jam, Audioslave, Coldplay...).

How about y'all?

 

[sir-moj]

Personaly, my favorite music is 80's music. (M.J. "P.Y.T", level 42 "something about you", Robbie nevile "cest la vi") you get the picture....

 

[Da Yayologist]

Yea, old school MJ is da shit.

 

[SikIndividuoh]

Jazz, Classical...helps to soothe the savage beast.

LMAO @ Moj...mayn I hope you are joking. Not "P.Y.T."....lmao.

Turntable/DJ/Producer music (Q-Bert, Invisibl Skratch Piklz, Beat Junkies, Automator, Prince Paul) is tight too.

 

[MOESES SOULRIGHT THE 2nd]

i listen to a lot of old jazz and blues
from Billie Holiday to Bessie Smith
i bump these two albums constantly The Wailers-Catch a Fire and The Harder They Come Soundtrack
i bump a lot of Sly and The Family
The Beatles
a lot of 80's music anywhere from Michael Jackson to Sqeeze
Stevie Wonder gets play all day
tons of soul music, can't even begin to list

 

[Da Yayologist]

Sly Stone is sick. He used to be a DJ here in Frisco here in the 60's. I hope Khayree does a sort of producer album too (just instrumentals or maybe putting the Bay's best on different songs and telling a story). That would be tight. Hope "Blackalation 2" is like that.

[SCOCIOUS]

i must be weird or something but i only feel bay area rap. i dont listen to anything else. i mean, if some shit is on because somebody else is playing it i'll listen to it. i aint gonna hate it. but once in a while there is some mainstream shit that i think is tight. like the beat to that busta rhymes/mariah carey song, "what you want" ... i want to hear a bay area rapper flip that for their mixtape.
