A belated introduction

Maajo · 11-21-2017, 06:28 PM

Hello MB, I started posting about a week ago so this is a bit late, but I hope to stick around and hopefully contribute a little bit. I'm from Minnesota, I'm 26 and my musical wheelhouse is in heavy metal, punk, crossover, etc. but I also quite like hip-hop, soul, jazz, blues, country and other genres.

See ya all around.

Who are some of the hip-hop artists that you like?

Maajo · 11-21-2017, 08:27 PM

I gravitate towards alternative - Stone Throw, Def Jux, Ninja Tune and Rhymesayers have a lot of my favorite artists. Really like golden age hip-hop and east coast stuff like Native Tongues and EPMD too. Not quite as big a fan of west coast hip-hop, but Ice Cube is an all-time favorite.

I haven't found a brand of punk or metal that I dislike, but I like Bad Brains, The Misfits (Danzig era), Black Flag, Ramones, Death, Slayer. If I have one sub-genre that I really go back to a lot it's probably industrial metal like Godflesh, Ministry, KMFDM, 3TEETH, Pitchshifter, etc... there's a lot of metal that I like.

Also, thanks for the good hearty welcome, fellas. I've already found some good stuff that I wouldn't have found otherwise!

Welcome to MB, Maajo !

Of the eight genres you specifically mention in your OP, I'm right with you on, er, two of them. So I look forward to seeing you around, but perhaps more often in the lounge than in the music sections.

Thanks Lisna, liked the Musselwhite rec the other day, so we got some common ground in music too!
