For me, it was The Chronic. First gangsta rap album i bought. Liked Dre Day and Let Me Ride. Then bought the album. Got Doggystyle the day it came out and i was hooked. Went back and got the NWA albums and all the Death Row affiliate albums and started a chain reaction. Loved the drug references, they way they talk to the hoes and keep them in check. Defined an era that still influences music to this day. Awesome. I wish rappers wouldn't have turned into such pansies and ass kissers now. Especially to the hoes. I get it, they wanna sell records. Like that Westside Connection song says, so many rappers in love nowadays. Pathetic. There are a few exceptions out there still keeping it real, Suga Free and Too Short immediately come to mind, but it's not what it used to be.
For me it was 1987 and the song was Ice-T "Colors". That is when I discvovered rap other than Fatboys, Run DMC, ect. I did have Slick Ricks, and Public Enemies tape, but a little while later I got Ice-T freedom of speech, then off to the Geto Boys and Ice Cube Amerikkkas Most Wanted. 2 Live crew followed around that time. I must have been in 3rd grade or so. My first experience with NWA was actually 100 miles and runnin'. I soon went back and checked out the eariler stuff. Ice-T was what did it for me. After the Chronic came out, I was full force into the music. Comptons Most wanted, 2Pac, ect... And from there it grew. All I breathed was rap music, mainly Bay Area and West Coast. Definitaly shaped my early years growing up.

I kinda hope you're as ugly as your attitude so you’ve got less chance of finding a woman to treat like a "hoe" or, maybe you're fine and wont realize you're just another dumb john payin bitches for what most men get for free. You've probably convinced yourself in some drug induced stupor that it's acceptable to promote abuse and neglect. Hopefully you’ll be less "manly" when a significant woman or girl in your life comes to you looking for help and an escape from the same mentality you advocate.
