Which song got you hooked on to Rap??

[LAZY]

Nuthin But A G Thang BAAY BAY

[mauzip]

It sounds weird, but it was an R&B song that got me hooked on rap. I was totally crazy about TQ's "Westside" and when I bought his album I was also totally crazy about the album and I started to find something more out about the guest artists like Daz, Kurupt, Tray Deee and Too $hort. I became a big TQ fan and I started to know more about other rap artists... the dice kept rolling. Anyway, I liked rap before that album already, but "Westside" was really what made me listen to rap a lot.

I have allways liked rap I am black thats what I do but my early favs were Mc Eiht-straight up menace and all NWA and CMW

[mrtonguetwista]

For me....since I'm an old bastard...lol...it would have to be either Ice-T "Rhyme Pays" and/or Beastie Boys "Licensed To Ill" both in cassette form. Ya'll remember cassettes??? lol  Hooks up my Atari 2600 and plays Missle Command.lol

[An-Tony-O Montana]

For me its got to be
Snoop Dogg - Who Am I (What's My Name)

It sounds silly, but mine was "Rollin' with Kid N Play" back in 1988....I used to bump that tape (2 Hype) constantly.  Then I got Eazy duz it.  I had never heard of him before, but I saw a commercial for his concert so I decided to get it.  Now THAT album REALLY got me hooked on rap.
