run-dmc, digital underground, & beastie boys - my pops used to bump the popular hip-hop shit in the 80s and he had a cd collection i would dig into when he was away at work... i musta been like 6-7 years old & particularly remember the sex packets and raising hell albums eazy-e, nwa, 2pac - i was around the same age and my uncle was huge into west coast rap .. he loved eazy-e and pac in particular, so he used to bang that in the whip when i would ride with him. i ended up buying the clean version of eazy duz it (couldnt buy explicit shit at sam goody if u were underage)... i loved that shit. i then went diggin through my uncles collection one day when he was gone and i took efil4zaggin from him... i remember bein amazed at how much nasty shit they spit...i also took the chronic from him, which blew me away. he later put me on to 2pac.. i remember specifically he was bangin to live n die in la on repeat in his system that he had in his room. what stuck in my mind was him laughing at the part that said “makin money over cusswords” and sayin “damn that’s so true! that’s exactly what he’s doing” .... my uncle was a thug back n them days, hes hella religious now tho.then my other uncle (his younger brother) had a smaller collection that i went diggin in wit some b-grade shit.. skee-lo, bums (brothas under madness), and that typa shit.basically, i can thank my family for puttin me on all that shit... once i got a hold of them albums, i never looked back.
