Personally I listen to mostly Hip Hop/Rap-The past approx 3 years I've mostly listened to Gucci Mane's Woptober & Drop Top Wop, WuTang, Reggae and a lil Rock although I usually prefer the classics from the "Golden Era." Mid to late 80's and early 90's.I like alot of the new stuff though.Whatever gets the club or party jumpin I'll spin it if I'm workin.East Coast, West Coast, Dirty South, MidWest, House/Club, DC Go Go all can get it crunk. Reggae wise I'm partial to the same mostly, 80's and 90's roots and dancehall joints. I get down with alot of the newer stuff too of course but aint nothin like them old dancehall classics. On the rock tip I like a lot of the older stuff too like from the early MTV days. Billy Idol, U2, Van Halen, Motley Crue and Quiet Riot had some cranks, and the 90s stuff like Nirvana, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Alice In Chains.
