Rap.... Hrmmmm. Well, I absolutely hate rap. Can't stand it. But oddly enough, I feel like I owe rap my gratitude. Rap is why I'm into music like I am. If I didn't get into rap then who knows when I would've discovered music. It didn't take long before I made the switch from rap to nu-metal/rap metal though. Only rap artists I can really cite would be Eminem and ICP. Go figure. Then I took a liking to the nu-metal scene and after a sad number of years I discovered real metal. True metal. European metal. Canadian metal. American metal. Asian metal. So many types of metal. Of course in the process of discovering metal I did discover other genres of music. You've got your classic rock, blues, jazz, salsa/latin, carribean, celtic and so forth. Closest I really come to listening to rap is not deleting my ICP collection. As ****ty as ICP is, they are the first group I ever got into. Right now I'm listening to Cattle Decapitation and prior to this track on my playlist I had Severed Savior and Gorguts. And somehow I owe ICP for that. Closest thing to rap that I willingly listen to is trance if I'm in the mood. But other than that I'm metal all the way. And I'm going to sit here until the next track starts so I can tell you all who else is on my playlist. And the verdict is... Dream Theater apparantly.
