I can say I like many different types of music but I only actually "listen" to hip hop. As in, I can't have music like Rock or Jazz or Country or anything like that on my iPod because I just won't play those songs but it doesn't mean I don't like it.
I've come to a point where I feel that I've extended a big part of my Hip Hop musical knowledge to start looking into other genres, not meaning that I stop listening to Hip Hop but that I widen my music variation.
I don't have anything against Rock but I have tried to like it but nothing. What I mean by this is that I hear a Rock song and I don't feel anything at all. I just don't get interested nor I hate it, It's just blank really. It doesn't "touch" me. I mean I do have a few John Lennon and George Harrison songs and apart from that I quite like Queen but that's it.
Instead I've widened my musical knowledge to other genres than Rock and that is Reggae and Soul. I've been listening to Bob Marley for a while and I'm looking into other Reggae artists. And when it comes to Soul, I'm loving Marvin Gaye, especially Sexual Healing. Love that one. Then I quite like Barry White. I'm new to these genres but I'm looking into them slowly.
Music comes in many colours but tastes best when its dark brown. (no homo)
. Of course I still listened to rap, but I became open to other genres. Also, like others have said, Eminem's beats sound close to rock sometimes.
.....idk because rock music has similar content to eminems music...
