No, they are always shocked I like Prince. I was listening to a mix CD I put together at work yesterday with Will Downing and some U.K. Artist... and many others...
Some said... wow, who is that, I like it. Then... Surface "Happy" came on... and she literally started to move to the beat. Only you can make me Happy..., I was cracking up... I said, "Do you know this is like 20 years old!?" Oh my god, I shocked even myself! I then realized... Wow, I am getting old. Most people cannot peg what I listen to, because I like a few artist that are not really listened to much anymore, or at least, no body I know. I have not been interested in too much that is new, per say. | |

I've found out over the years that most white hiphop artists in Europe dress up rather like bohemian hippies, with somewhat baggier pants. Perfect. | |

EmbattledWarrior said: But back to the subject,
I fall into the problem all the time. Because im young and dark skin, and because im a musician, people think im some type of idiot savÄnt. That i don't know shit, people never expect that i've read stuff like Proust, keruoac, joyce, shit even hemmingway. Im constantly stereotyped, you can't be a smart dark musician, or be part black and hispanic and play guitar Just because your a biracial youth, your suppose to wear baggy jeans, listen to hip hop. I remember when i was younger and started playing guitar, i got alot of shit because i wasn't into basketball like the others cats from my block Guitar is for white kids, And i speak correctly, omg you don't know what i go through because of that. its been like that all my life, i should be used to it but it still gets me [Edited 8/31/07 15:19pm] Same here dude....maybe we were destined to form this band [Edited 9/1/07 20:13pm] | |
