What was the one song that made you a hip-hop head

Yeah well then at what point did it become something you considered to be worth studying?
I mean I didn't know shit when I first got into it, but I wanted to find more so I hit up the music store. I didn't even know I could get Dre on NWA records I went to the record store and bought unauthorized Concrete Roots album because I thought it was the only other album I could get of Dre on other than the Chronic.
But still there's got to be a moment that peeks your interests

That song really got to me to as next level. I even went to my freshman theatre class and did a whole presentation on it cause it said we had to take a piece of art and present about it. But to me that's a song you kind of already have to be a head to get into—but it is definitely something next level and eye opening.

I think for you I thought you told me some story like an Uncle Ronnie story like you had an older cousin that used to bump Eazy E around you when you were a kid

As far as "Nuttin But a G Thang" I know that wasn't really the one that grabbed me because the thing I remembered most about that video was them undoing the top of the girl playing sand volleyball. Dre was a master at putting these little moments in his music video because they actually caught the attention of kids and casual fans. It's like I work in the Arab Gulf now and I was talking to a Serbian my same age who wasn't a big hiphop head but remembered well when Eminem first blew up because he remembered the Bill Clinton blow job scene from "My Name Is" (at a time Clinton was actually bombing their country).
So that's why I can remember the exact moment I became a head because I was still watching "Nuttin But A G Thang" from the perspective of a casual fan but once Snoop enters on "Dre Day" with the bow wow wow — I changed lenses and got a new prescription.

it was the hook and the back and forth rapping between Dre and Snoop...their chemistry was undeniable
"Dre Day" was the icing on the cake for me, I copped "The Chronic" soon after and the rest is history
