My tastes in music aren't weird, just VERY specific, I don't really have artists I like, just songs. This is mostly true for hip-hop, my reggae/jazz tastes are much wider, even though hip-hop is my favorite.
I care very little about lyrics. For some reason I just don't retain the words of a song. The voice is simply another instrument. There are songs I've listened to 500+ times that I couldn't do in karaoke at all, even though I have a very good memory otherwise. For this reason it is no different to me to listen to rap in other languages, and I have gotten into French and African rap somewhat.
The songs I like are few and far between. I rarely like more than one song off an album, even from an artist I like. I don't really know why I like certain songs, but I have noticed patterns.
I like rap songs that sample classical music or Arabaian/Indian music, I like remixes that pair rap with an old-school genre (ex. There is an album I like that is a mashup of Frank Sinatra + Notorious B.I.G.), I like very chilled-out beats mostly, but also some gangsta shit.
The problem is that most people say "check out this artist" or "check out this album" and they are basically telling me to search through a ton of songs to possibly find one or two I like. That is why I was wondering if there was a different sort of internet method to search based on song qualities.
