Alternate title : “At Least He’s Not Feeling Alan Thicke.” Not to be outdone by such pop culture mavens as Dan Patrick, Charley Steiner or Rob Dibble, Spencer Haywood uses his otherwise excruciating excellent blog to let us know that he’s a recent convert to a uniquely American art form (link swiped from The Feed).
Well it looks like I have a new love in the music world. Jazz will always be #1, but look out everyone, there™s a new genre of music that has grown on me “ hip-hop! My daughters recently told me to watch two specials on the History of Rap, and I must tell you, it changed my outlook. It took me a good year to get a better feel for it, but it has grown on me.I started grooving to Tupac, Biggie, Snoop, NWA, KRS-One, the Roots, Outkast, De La Soul, David Banner, Eminem, Common, Akon, Nas, Twista, Kanye West, P-Diddy, Jay-Z, Eve, Ludacris and a few others. On the softer R&B side, I™m really feeling Robin Thicke, India Arie, Justin Timberlake, R. Kelly, Mary J. Blige, and last but not least, Beyonce and Shakira (shhhhhh¦I can™t say the word here, but you know what I mean if you saw the Beautiful Liar video).
I was always open to it when my kids played it, but now I have all of them on my IPOD Nano. I have not 271, not 273, but exactly 272 different tracks on my IPOD baby! I was in the gym working out, bobbing my head and this young kid looked at me and said, œWhat are you jamming to? I gave him the headphones, and he couldn™t believe I was listening to Tupac. I think I scored some cool points with that kid.
