My name is John Shope. My life has been based upon the display of artistic expression. Ever since I entered High School around the 8th grade, I became attached
to the 5 main elements of Hip-Hop. Soon I was writing lyrics and practicing freestyling. I began to get deep into Underground Hip-Hop, Local Hip-Hop, and I
also got deep heavily into Latin Hip-Hop. I am now currently in a local rap group called the Ded PoEttz soPSYeti. It runs with the Koga Monks and ASYLUM. I
also run with online crew Can't Be Contained (CBC). Towards my Junior year I began to expand my taste in music beyond Hip-Hop. Soon I was listening to a
little R&B and some more respectable pop music (stuff that's recognized but not played as often). This was also the time I started expanding to
everything including a wide variety of Rock, Metal, Punk, Psychedelics, Classical, Sinatra, Techno / Trance / House / Jungle / Drum & Bass / Acid /, Jazz,
Reggae, Crossover, International and Alternative music (Including very expansive remixes, updates, & covers). And I do believe besides Ska and Country, the
only other music I hate is virtually all of the media produced, bubble gum, sugar coated, zombie like, stereotypical, over played, annoying radio BULLSHIT.
Besides music, women & parties are my only other hobbies that I can currently think of....When I get the time, I'll tell you more about me, that is,
only if I decide you should know anything else.
