"Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?"- Jay-z


As a fan of music I'm very picky with what I listen to, everything that get's a spot on my 16gb iPod are either songs I love or songs that I need to listen to. So when it comes to new music that is not made from one of my favorite artists I am very skeptical "why does this fool deserve my attention?" but in most cases I like what I hear, which is good! When I listen to a song I listen to the lyrics & instrumental as a whole then make my decision on whether I like or dislike an artist. If an artist can draw in my attention within their first few lines then they've got a new listener but I have been swayed on numerous occasions after listening to a song in it's entirety. All I'm saying is don't knock it before you try it, hence the Jay-Z quote. It's okay to judge me but you can't dislike the music, it's undeniable. I'm sure that sounds cocky but I have faith in my talent and in this day & age people lack it. How do you listen to your music? Do you check for lyrics, the beat or is it the artist's charisma that get's you?
