Probably my sisters cause they were listening to Tribe Called Quest and DE La Soul... But then i bought Too Shorts  cassette single The Ghetto from the wherehouse and that really got the ball rolling for me.

Of coarse as a kid I listend to Kriss Kross and MC Hammer, but the first time I heard Doggystyle I was hooked.  After that, It was Wu-Tang and Biggie and then moved on to artists like Nas and Outkast.  I also remember getting down to songs like "Motown Philly" by Boys to Men at an early age.  Bel Biv Devoe and Another Bad Creation were dope too...Anyone remember the songs "Ieshia" or "Playground" by ABC?  those tracks were the shit!

Was dablling in both rock and rap since like 98, then in 01 it was strictly Hip-Hop cuz Rock did get lame...  Did my homework and been a head ever since.

My parents used to bump Tone Loc, Run DMC, The Beastie Boys, and Heavy D  but other than that mostly rock and country on the tape deck when i was little. I got deep into rap at around '98 when i saw Puff Daddy's "All About The Benjamins" video on mtv. Right now i listen to just about anything but mostly hip hop and classic rock.

2Pacs All Eyez On Me.. I remember it.. I had this on tape. California Love with Roger Troutman was a banger at that time


Quote from: Soopafly DPGC about his hands
I don't live for the man, but I do study him so I can hope my pimp hands one day become as strong as his. When i first started listening to him, my hands were only strong enough to crush a beetle.  Now that i've studied him for 15 years, my hands are strong enough to crush a dog.

the peak of hiphop? what u mean by that? judging from the sales, last years havent really been bad either, 2k6 was low on sales, but the years before lots of albums gone platinum too...peak of hiphop is kinda wide, peak of originality and music? yes then its true

good thread. Nice to see how different people got into rap. For me it was a couple of years ago. A friend played me MC Ren-Ruthless For life
 Got hooked on that song and it went from there. I got into NWA then real into Dr Dre which got me into Death Row, Aftermath which got me signing up to the aftermath fourum and from there i got a link to dubcc joined up and really got into some west coast music 8)
