Some off the top of my head...

Lots of stuff. I like Nas, alot of the down south shit and I also get into shit like Linkin Park and Incubis and stuff like that too classic rock etc.

Can''t just listen to one thing all the time.

I listen to rap from anywhere in the States and french rap. I also like some Funk and Soul music like Diana Ross, Temptations . I can get on some Latin music too but can't stand no rock/pop/electronic music though.

Gotta realize that there's a universe of music out there, and just keep on listenin. I was at my boys house for a BBQ and they put on some...I guess you could call it soul, where they were singing in French and Spanish, it was tight as fuck. I like rap from all over too...except watered down shit.
