Yeah........Da good old dayz of Ol'skool......
Don't make me feel so younger no mo'

As u name some, Hambone, all this first groups bringin' rap music to new horizon...
I was mostly listenin to Funk Musik back in these early '80s...Then came Afrika Bambataa, Kool Moe Dee, Kurtis Blow, Grand M.Flash, Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, Eric B & Rakim, LL Cool J, EPMD, Public Enemy...Classic way to walk from Funk to Hip-Hop. But Hard to find here in France ...Just a few Radio let'em flow 1 or 2 times a week !!!
Then a Bomb was dropped......NWA straight outta Compton, and since i really turn full into Wessiiiiide...King T, Too Short, Tone Loc, Frost, and all u know now...

But honestly i can't remember fo' sure what was the first i bought....

Anyway datz crazy to see how it becomes 'bout mo' than 15 years later when everybody used to say it was jus' fashion and will neva least.......Word Up !

Peace all from Ol' Skool dayz to newbiez......
Keep it up !

I have been listening to rap all my life, however I didn't start seriously buying cds until 1997.

Shit I've been listening to rap before I was born. She tells me she used to put her headphones up to her stomach in my womb. She said the first album i listened to was Run DMC and that was before I was born. lol

The first rap I listened to, I think, was "36 Chambers", when I was like 6, over at Dill's house. First album was "The Aftermath"...

Dill was down from the beginning...

Oh shit...I remember about 6 years ago my uncle (Only 3 years older than me) was listening to a CD in his Mom's car, and I came in and there was like a bunch o Cusswords, and I was thinking to myself "I didnt know they can cuss in songs." I remember my dad coming in to listen and I was getting worried that he wouldn't get mad that I was listenin to that shit....Also my dad was a Minor Hip Hop Fan before I was born (He listened to stuff like Beastie Boys, Run DMC and Digital Underground, and later Snoop, Cube and Dre) So like a year after I heard the song my uncle played I listened to my Dads Beastie Boys album and asked my mom "Why does dad have records with cuss words and my mom didnt want me to know he was listening to that shit and said "Oh..It just came in the mail" and I belived it...Also around the same time I listened to my dads Run DMC album...The first track I can remember that I heard was "Peter Piper"...But i know I heard some Eazy tracks from my uncle and other Beastie Boy songs way before without remembering the track names and how they go etc....LOL

Man I've been listening to HIPHOP since way way way back in the days. I'm 27 now and have been down with this shit since I can remember. KDAY and the Mack Attack was the shit, and of course the Eastcoast kicked shit up in the beginning, but when Ice T, Rodney O Joe Cooley, King T, and NWA took off, I was all about the westcoast shit fo sho!! Peace.
