ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons tells Rolling Stone that people may be surprised to learn that he loves hip hop music. “I quite like it. That’s a great thing about growing up and hanging out in Houston. The hip-hop and rock scene was something that we really enjoyed. We would run into the hip-hop guys at Digital Services Recording. They wanted to know how to play the guitar, and all us rock guys wanted to know how to create those crazy backbeats. It was a nice exchange.”
