My Music Memories

My taste in music has changed dramatically over the years. My earliest memories of music were my cousins listening to New Kids on the Block when I was five years old. I didn’t like the music, but I remember how popular it was at the time.

            Moving on to elementary school, I remember rap was very popular. I remember going home after school, turn on the hip hop radio station and I would do my homework while the music was playing. I remember Britney Spears and Cristina Aguilera were now becoming very popular, both among boys and girls. Eminem was also now coming into the music world, and I remember how controversial he was. I remember watching specials on MTV about him, and how parents were protesting against his music. I can say that my favorite rapper at that time was Master P. He didn’t last very long.

            Moving onto junior high, I really began to enjoy alternative rock. Bands like Korn, Rage against the Machine, Incubus and Deftones were some of my favorite.  I believe this happened due to the fact that these were my rebellious years. I remember wanting to go to a rock concert so bad, but my Mom wouldn’t let me. I also remember how hard it was to buy a C.D due to the fact that parental advisory stickers were now being introduced. I remember trying to make sure my Mom didn’t see these stickers when she was buying them for me. I also remember that at this time, Rap was very popular, but I hated it.

            Moving on to high school. This is the time when I stated to appreciate the music of Tupac Shakur. I also started listening to more West Coast Hip-Hop, such as Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube. I was now listening to old hip hop from the early 90’s. Then I started listening to more modern rap, such as 50 Cent and The Game. Tupac though was for sure my favorite. I remember taking my C.D player to school, and listening to Tupac C.Ds whenever I could.

            College was definitely an eye opener. I still loved listening to hip hop, such as Jay-Z and Nas, but now I stated to enjoy reggae. Currently on my Ipod, I still have tons of rap and hip hop, but now it also included plenty of reggae.

            My taste in music has definitely changed throughout the years. I think I have listened to a great variety of genres through the years that have helped me find my current favorite tastes in music.  

           

Songs I hate

I cannot think of too many songs that I "hate". I can though think of a few songs that I dislike. Here is my list.

Bruno Mars-"The Lazy Song" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLexgOxsZu0
-Although it's innocent, I really don't want to hear a song promoting laziness.

MIMS-"This is Why I'm Hot" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwyE3WJ4AWo&ob=av3e
-Horrible song. How someone could listen to this really surprises me. What surprises me even more is how popular this song was.

Lil Jon-"Snap yo Fingers" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoA-ByjIf2M
-Another song that unfortunately represents rap music. Very popular song, but I just can't stand listening to it.
