I listen to pretty much anything I can get my hands on. I see a lot of people are into classical music, which I listen to at times, too. My family has a strong musical streak from both sides (mother's side in particular; she's a piano teacher), and I myself have played cello for 4 years (I play bass nowadays). I have had the privilege of being introduced to ''true'' music at a very early age, not just the shit that's on MTV, so I can appreciate good classical music when I hear it.
I do listen to some rap and hip hop (old school Snoop, 2pac mainly), metal (Slayer, Pantera, Mudvayne), and a lot of funk, both old and new. Red Hot Chili Peppers is, and always will be, one of my favorite bands of all time. Some ''true'' funk legends that I dig include Tower of Power, the Meters, George Clinton, Ohio Players, Average White Band and Marcus Miller, just to name a few.
