Other than bay shit Ive been bumpin a lot of alternative rock: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Modest Mouse, Green Day, JET, Maroon 5.
Im pretty much fed up with the mainstream rap scene. All the songs from down south sound the same and the lyrics are mediocre, I only like a couple southern artists right now and Im really dissapointed that this type of music is dominating the radio. Most of the people on the East Coast are either tryin to sound like the South or 50 Cent, Im not really into that kinda repetitive and unoriginal shit so I stick to Nas when it comes to NY rappers. I like Twista and some of the midwest boyz but for real the bay is the best hip hop region right now in the US and I aint just sayin that to be biased.
Now exuse me while I go pop in American Idiot and get stupid to some alternative in my whip...
