As I sit here on the couch listening to Jay-z's Kingdom Come for the 2nd time since I downloaded it after it came out, I started to wonder about how other people listen to music, especially music they haven't heard before. Most of the time when I'm on this site posting and reading threads, I won't be listening to anything, because I feel like I need to really be focused on the music to get the most from it. I feel that when I'm high or drunk (but mainly high), I get so much more into the music I'm listening to. I get so engrained in the lyrics. Everything just seems to sound slower and better, so I'm able to digest each bar and analyze it when im blazed. Heaven, for me, is having a fat blunt, my itunes with about 7000 songs on it, and either my big expensive earphones or my stereo system on blast. I would just sit back, smoke a blunt, and stare at the ceiling while listening to rap music.

I'd listen to it every minute of the day if interaction with other people wasn't necessary.

Haha same here. When I'm listening to a new CD or one of my favorite's there's nothing better then smoking a Philly and lying down on my bed listenin' to the shit on my stereo. It's not even that the weed get's me more focused on the music (don't get me wrong, it does), it's just that it's so relaxing to have a nice smoke while lying down listening to some bangin' music.

Dope question.

I usually listen to something on my itunes first, all the way through. I have some nice speakers since I use 'em to mix my music and shit. I like listening in my truck better. I get a better feel and when I'm on those long drives I really zone into the lyrics.

The best is when you got some headphones on, though...

I agree with you, I love listening to music in my car (even though i drive a Toyota Camry with a shitty stereo :/ ). But I recently has surgery on my right foot, and haven't been able to drive all Summer long, so I haven't been doing much of that.

But before the summer, when I was at school... man school was so much fun. There were so many people I met at my freshman year of college who all had the same taste my music that I do. One of my boys pushed sour diesel during the fall semester and would smoke us up on it daily. Since we lived in the dorms, and he happened to keep his Acura TL or whatever kind of car it was at school (he lives in New York, this school is in Maryland), we would jump in his car and drive off campus to blaze. Man, we would go on the illest blunt rides. This kid was filthy rich (his father is like, the director of Law & Order, legit), so his car was tricked out and he had a DOPE sound system, and he had like 2 150+ CD books, all great CD's. I'm moving into an appartment with this kid and another one of our boys in a couple months, but I'm going up to New York to visit them and were going to the Rock The Bells concert on the 28th at Randall's Island.

Yeah, this is a good question.

Now-a-days most of the time I listen to music is on my way to work, but without traffic I can only listen to about 7 or 8 tracks on average before I get there. I'm always doing at least one other thing while I listen to music. Every so often I'll play NBA Live on mute and listen to a full album or 2.

I prefer to listen to music with headphones on, then to listen to it with the speakers blasting dont get me wrong but it just seems more personal to listen to music with the headphones strapped around your head . Sounds weird but thats how i do it !

07-17-2007, 03:48 AM
I'm pretty much always listening to music... wherever I am I love to have some music coming into my ears. Best is when you can just chill and really listen to the music, when you're not doing anything else and can just relax

yea I definitely feel you. When you have headphones on it sounds like the lyrics are coming right into your ear.

I always download albums before I buy them, so I listen to a lot of music with my computer speakers. When nobody else are home, I play my CDs in the CD player. Loud, if I may add.

I like to listen to my music while taking a poop, eating a cheeseburger, and fondling a nice set of titties all at the same time. The result is nothing short of fantastic.

Listening to music while drivin through the city real early, like 5 AM, is the best way to do it. And NBA Live soundtracks are horrible, but for some reason I like listening to the commentary while ass raping the computer. BTW, I'm a God amongst men in NBA Live 05.

I usually listen to it through my computer, which is wired through my stereo speakers. Most of the time Im either on the computer messing around or doing work or Im relaxin on my bed. I prefer it through headphones but I only use them when I leave the house

Lol, actually I use to play 05 & 04 constantly. Besides the fact that I played foreal everyday, on Live I pay close attention to detail. Online the name is Noyze and I was ranked 7 & 15 (3 at one point). If you check you'll probably see my name still there although I don't play the old versions anymore.

For new CDs, I'll download it and skip through it on iTunes, but to really listen to a new CD and enjoy it (this may sound weird) I usually listen to it in the dark in my bed before going to sleep. But when its just music I've heard before I just bump it throught my computer or car speakers.

Ya, I don't play online, cause I have no idea how to get the PS2 online. I only play 05 cause all the other ones are terrible though. But if I did play it online, I would dominate like no other. I am a God.

this is a good question ...

if it's a brand new album (example the other day when Aesop Rock's new album leaked) i'll put it on my ipod and lay on my couch and listen to it with nothing else on (i usually wait to my daughter and bird are in bed cos there obviously no noise)

if i'm on here i'll listen to albums i've heard before

if i'm playng Pro Evo or a game i'll play any album

plus i listen to music in my car aswell

yawn, c'mon my wee brother who is 14 has better patter than that

this near enough shows you do not get pussy on the regular ... i don't see how i pass up sex to listen to an album when sex can be had anytime whenever we choose ... it's not like in the movies you watch where parents usually have sex at night ...

and the swing that way was a pointless comment joking or not

My answer is going to sound retarded.

There's something wrong with my computer and I know exactly what it is, but technically, I can't hear music from it. So basically, I BURN Cds all the time and listen to them from my CD player. If I like what I hear, I keep them on my computer. If I don't, I delete them. I usually listen to music almost all the time though. When I'm on the computer, I'm listening. When I'm cooking, I'm listening. When I'm driving, I'm listening. When I'm doing homework, I'm listening. I cannot go to sleep without music bumpin' in my ears. I listen to all sorts of music. It just depends on my mood and what I'm doing at the moment. My computer is getting fixed, and once that's done.. then I guess I'll be listening to music directly from my speakers all the time like I used to before.
