When I was little, I used to be into all music, not really rap, what got me into rap was having my cousin come around, she visisted like once every year and she had me listen to some rap, and I really was feeling that music, I started listenin to it more and more, It was Geto Boys I think lol, that got me listenin to some, then Eazy-E, Dre,Snoop and thats how it all started

I think it started when I first heard "What's My Name", "Insane In The Brain" and "Gangsta's Paradise". Back then I used to wonder why they spell Dogg with double-g... :)

i was in Dubai in the U.A.E where rap is really uncommon. I used to listen to coolio n all pop...until my homie DeadSoulja told me to d/l the song Static from pac. Thats when i started following Rap.

2 yrs have passed n im in Canada now, ive learned alot about rap music here, n i enjoy it. This forum has really helped me n my bro gain knowledge bout all these rap artists, and on the history of rap. B4 we didnt know shit...the same goes with Deadsoulja.

Peace

When my cousin bumped Rythm-al-ism in his car when it came out I was 8. I was hooked with the sound.

But what really got me into Hip-Hop was Dr. Dres 2001. After that I started to listen to pac and so on...

I was around 10 at the time living in san diego, lots of memories listening to that cd.

Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise came out when I was 5, first rap I heard (through my brother) 8)

Then I got deep into rap at about 14 with 50 Cent, Eminem, Dr. Dre, and then branching out of Dre into basically everyone.

I was got MC Hammer, Tone Loc & Salt-N-Pepa back in kindergarten, then I got into the more explicit stuff about 6th grade starting with Tha Doggfather. Everything else just sorta progressed from there.

It was around '88 for me, I was in junior high school and rap music was starting to become mainstream. At first it was the mainstream stuff that I was into, then I gravitated towards hard core hip hop courtesy of Ice-T and Public Enemy and I never looked back.
