music memories #1

i grew up in a family thats a spanish speaking family. i grew up listening to all sorts of spanish music like ranchera or banda music. the 2 types i just mention are 2 of the popular types of music heard commonly in the mexican culture, and it sounds really weird to others. i always listened to a very famous artist, and still is to this day, vicente fernandez, which is my dads favorite singer, and just fell in love with his music till now. i looked up to my brother a lot and did what he did and always liked listening to the type of music he did. my brother fernando, liked listening to rap, and still does, such as Master P, lil wayne, birdman, manny fresh, and etc. i also liked listening to other types of music on my own time, like when the backstreet and Nsync where in at the time, i know kinda gay, and some rock like greenday and there old stuff. then i went on a time period when the bay areas underground artist blew up and everybody was listening to them such as, keak da sneak, mac dre, E-40, J-diggs, and etc. the bay area music went on for like half my high school year, but then it kind of died, well for me it did. now all i listen to is a whole bunch of rap and rock, like all modern songs. lil wayne is a must listen to now a days because his raps are always so original and no one can do it but him. every once in a while i like to kick it old school and look up song videos that i use to listen to when i was younger, and on when i look up some songs i just laugh at myself and just cannot believe what i listened to.

  1. Yeah, it can be weird to go back and listen to your old favorites and wonder, "What was I thinking?" But it's kind of nice to remember where you've come from and what you liked about it then too.
