i've been thinking about whether or not having a girl who listens and loves hip hop is a qualification for a significant other. i think, on one hand, that music is really just an interest and is just a miniscule part of the whole. but on the other hand, i need good music around me. at all times. i don't do well in silence. especially in cars. i need music. also, because i tend to be a car music hog (yup, i'm a bitch like that) i think it might possibly be important that me and this whoever listen to the same music. not that hip hop is my life, because really, i didn't grow up with it. nor do i pretend to live it. but it's kind of important. music is kind of important. don't you think?



i've known....two, possibly three, girls who have had nearly the exact same taste in music and hip hop as me. and that alone was a foundation for a friendship. factoring all that audio chemistry into a relationship equation would result in loveliness. i think most people don't mind hip hop. but i kind of would like someone who absolutely adores it. and not lauryn hill adores it. because who doesn't like lauryn hill? i want them to like and appreciate tribe. and the roots. and mos. and pharcyde. and if a girl loves gangstarr. it's pretty much over. that would be like cupid posing as a song, shooting arrows directly into me.



however. taking into account all the things that need to be compatible in a relationship, is music really that important? it's not my primary interest. and i'm semi-decently accomodating to other types of music. so, what am i looking for? what's my point? i'm not sure. i'm gonna have to think long and hard about this one.
