The Phoenix Suns guard also also listens to hip hop, but enjoys breaking up the monotony with hard rock artists.
Ross also listens to hip-hop but enjoys breaking up the monotony of regularly listening to the same thing for motivation and leisure.
Ross called politically-driven rap rock stalwart Rage Against The Machine his favorite, and declared the band's Madison Square Garden performance a few years ago as the best he's ever witnessed in his life. He added that Jimi Hendrix, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and 1980s Norwegian synth-pop band A-ha are always on his playlists.
The hesitation that Ross has encountered speaks to the longstanding generalization within the African-American community: Black people who prefer hard rock subgenres such as heavy metal or punk instead of hip hop or other urban music genres might have their Black authenticity questioned by their peers.
There have been plenty noteworthy Black hard rock acts and musicians over the past 50 years such as Death, metal and ska fusion outfit Fishbone, Living Colour, TV On The Radio, Body Count, Guns N Roses' lead guitarist Slash, Lenny Kravitz, Prince, British punk pioneer band X-Ray Spex's late lead singer Poly Styrene, American hardcore punk progenitors Bad Brains, and King's X led by its African-American co-founding frontman Doug Pinnick.
The NBA veteran attributed his rock predilection to being raised in Portland, Oregon where there’s lots of precipitation, grey skies and cold temperatures for most of each year. That weather influenced many grunge and nü metal rock acts from the Northwest to create their signature sound of angry or emotionally distressed vocal deliveries accompanied by murky, dark, heavy punk rock-oriented three-chord guitar riffs.Landry Shamet is a huge fan of R&B songstress Jill Scott.
