thought this would be a good way to spark some music convo
the idea is to confess something about music (any genre) in an effort to possibly get put onto new music or even help others get put onto new music
or just share a story about a preconceived notion you had about an album/artist and what you thought of when you finally gave them a chance...OR, why you wouldnt give an artist/album a chance
Since i started the thread, i'll go first
I'll confess that i've never listened to a Notorious BIG album outside of singles.
However, i listen to this podcast called Black opinions matter monday (BOMM) and they were talking about Tupac and biggie and whatnot and i was like, let me finally give this a try.
I picked "life after death". Now i will say that my southern roots had be extremely biased when this first dropped as i didnt care for neither the east or the west coast during this beef that was going on. I liked a song from either side here and there, but never gave albums a listen. Cash money, No limit, Suave House, etc...was all i knew at that time so i know i missed a lot out on a lot of stuff during that period.
As i've gotten older, my tastes have diversified and i've listened to a ton of music from my teen/young adult years that i previously passed on.
Started listening to Life After Death and I know its a double disc, but Google Play just has it as 24 tracks or something so i guess i can assume the split is 12/12. Just finished "disc 1" and man...this shit go!!
Gone post up more impressions once i finish but anywho...what ya'll wanna confess
