Music you are prejudiced against

again, i think it's more a problem of not appreciating the language than of not having heard the right stuff

not into the miles?
I went to school in the early 00s and as a teenage boy you had to be either a nu-metal mosher, or be really trendy and into 50 Cent and Ja Rule. The former is the worst music with the worst subculture, the latter did nothing for me then and even though I've overcome my biases I still think a lot of that chart-friendly rap is really bland and conservative and not for me.

90s hiphop was my way in. wanted to know where those samples were coming from. but it's an aquired taste for sure

a mate played me this when we were both stoned to the gills
so many things clicked. it was underground hiphop played by a band. evoked so many images i could relate with

i have the same, i find most of it horrible. mainly because i can't tolerate trumpets and saxophones. i do like alice coltrane for example.

alice coltrane was an epiphany. cosmic jazz is probably my favourite music of all. thing is, jazz (including it's blues and gospel roots) is the lifeblood of so much of 20th century music, and to take it out of the equation, more or less removes the dance element from dance music & all the harmonies and disharmonies which lay foundation of at least half of what people love here on d. if jazz hadn't happened we'd be probably be listening to german oompa shit or something.

I sympathize with mvuent here cos I used to think jazz was boring OR embarrassing OR pretentious (and BOTH) but although I still don't listen to jazz all that often I've definitely changed my view of it in the last few years. (I even like some of the twee old stuff that used to make my toes curl, partly through a feat of historical imagination.)
Obvious really but being stoned helps x1000.

I always loved jazzy samples in rap too (ATCQ, Gang Starr, Madlib etc.) which I think actually stood in the way of me appreciating jazz cos I always felt like the rap producer had taken the one good bit from a 7 minute "wankfest" and made it worthwhile for non granddads by looping it over a breakbeat.

The time barrier idea Luka did a thread about really applied and continues to apply to listening to jazz. Growing up in a world where jazz was ancient history, period detail, parodied and debased made and makes it hard to listen to it without imagining moronically grinning men in suits doing the Charleston or whatever.
