Hip Hop? Or Rock??

Once,I was at Island Bar and sang "Bed of Roses". and then one of the visitors there approached me and said "ko biLang ko hip hop? Napa ko nyanyi lagu rock jiwang?"

Hahaha.To be honest. I couldnt counter his remarks.I was quite embarrassed.

The other nite,I was at Cocoon Club with my friends,and I was ready to dance with my baggy jeans,big T,Nike Shoes and Beannie. But there werent many customers there,so the band asked me to sing "bed of roses" with him (again with the same song). I was tipsy,So I sang.

As I was singing,again I thought, dressing hip hop tapi nyanyi rock jiwang.. hahaha!!! PALING AWUT!!!


I have been thinking,and I dont think I have the answers. but,here's what I gotta say.

Ever since my ears started working,I have been exposed to hip hop music in the form of Snoop Dogg, Dr.Dre, and Tupac Shakur. The love for hip hop grew bigger and bigger in me as I grow oLder. But aLong the way I found out that MUSIC is not about hip hop,rnb and souL onLy. It has other genres.



I also discovered my passion for musical instruments. Eg: the guitar and the drums. Common sense, U cant really rap while u strum ur guitar right? let me simplify, U cant really sing the chorus and rap the verses of THE NEXT EPISODE with the guitar right?U need to sing with a guitar.So THAT is when I learnt how to sing.rock songs.. jazz... ballad.. contemporary... etc etc....



And u wanna know something? I am a dusun guy,and we are known to have this hatred against another race at my hometown of Tuaran,but I think,my involvement with rock music, kinda became the medium between me and this other race that is suppose to be the enemy of my cLan. Because,Rock music represents their race/ethnic,they listen to this kind of music.......and we became friends because they heard me sang "Gadisku" by Amy Search at school once....hahaha.. PEACE WITH MUSIC MY MAN....

You see?
