wut music genres do u listin to other then hip hop?

[CooGi_dice]

what music genres do u listin to other then hip hop and how do u feal they have affected your production?


other then hip hop i listin to mostly old school r&b, soul and jpop (japanese pop music/r&b)...

i also listin to jazz, old school rock, doowop, and a few other genres not realy importat, the first three genres are what i constantly bumb to with itunes or keep on repeat in my ipod.



i think all these genres have influnced the way i dream up a track and the way i program and build my tracks, also the sounds i like to use weither they be drums, pads, strings or keys... they have to have a certain sound that i like.
i think the over all sound of my music is greatly influnced by those genres as well... i guesss you'd call it my "signuature sound"...

Believe it or not i listen to classic rock. I think it effects my music a bit cause sometimes i might take some samples from old rock records.

 

[Shonsteez]

Soul, Jazz, Old classics like Cream, Hendrix, Santana, Three Dog Night.

 

[Bigfatheadmole]

rock, old rock cause this new rock is gay except the white stripes, oldies and soft songs, everything except country

 

[StressWon]

I like anything! Especially in my work car,,I only have a radio! Ya get sick of 50 Cent every 5 minutes,,,I like Rock, Classic ROck, Alternative, Metal, Classic RnB, 70's Funk, and classical.

 

[boneyboys]

Mostly indie really and a fair bit of punk and a little stoner metal. I don't actually listen to that much hip-hop to be honest

 

[mono]

[eka]

Jazz, soul, funk, reggea, electronics, bossa nova, trance, blues, breakbeat, jungle, drum and bass, rock, a whole lot of genres and like boneyboys said: I don't listen to that much hip hop either at the moment only hip hop from this forum or soundclick (and my own, hehehe)

 

[Equality 7-2521]

i dont buy any music other than Hiphop but ill listen to drum n bass, jazz, blues, reggea, soul...anything phat

 

[Shonsteez]

Yeah, i dont find myself buying much music other than hiphop too...
Tho, if i see something i know i want i will cop it, outside of tha genra that is...
Mostly tha only times i will buy music from other genras is when im buying to sample it....But that always helps open up new music tastes for my palet thats ever expanding...

 

[hookiefree]

I grew up on funk, reggae, R&B, Go-Go, motown (although i never developed a taste for it) and a little rock and pop from Friday Night Videos (DC thing)! I got more into alternative rock like STP, Nirvana, Chilipeppers then I got into jazz, mainly beebop. Then I discovered david bowie and black sabbath by not responding to the CD of the month from columbia house fast enough. Now I love acid jazz, neo-soul, trip-hop, a lil D&B and latin jazz. I've only heard 1 country song that I liked and I don't know who sings it.

I'm not doing too much hip these days either. Only what I hear on the radio on the way to work. I just aint what it used to be.

 

[DjDelay]

Everything.

Drum 'n' Bass, electronica, bit of rock, trip-hop, scratch music

 

[vitaminman]

Yo,

You guys are all a bunch of biters, maybe you should listen to something ORIGNAL, like old Blue Note jazz, P-Funk Allstars, Funkadelic, and James Brown.

Maybe if people would start sampling some of these guys, hip hop would sound good.

[TrustNo1]

i dont listen to hip hop. i'm into rock, techno, trance, drumnbass, some heavy metal, punk, and R&B, but hip hop and rap doesn't really do it for me no more. i stick wit the classics like mobb deep biggie nas the Brooklyn stuff is the only rap i listen to, which is very rare.
