"Dre Day" was the icing on the cake for me, I copped "The Chronic" soon after and the rest is history

I remembered the girl gettin sprayed with beer—but my ears weren't quite seasoned enough just yet to catch the lyricism back and forth play between Dre and Snoop, I knew enough to know these guys were a big deal in the game but wasn't exactly sure why without knowing the NWA back story and all that, my older brother's friends used to say Dre was with Eazy E before but I didn't get it—but "Bow Wow Wow Yippee Yo Yippee Yea"—my ears caught that and I figured it out.

Still thought Snoop and Dre were like a rap group and didn't understand when "Let Me Ride" came out and Snoop had like one line "Rollin in my 6-4"  ;D

When I finally got the Chronic album (my first cd ever along with Doggystyle) from my brother that Christmas I listened to "Nigga Wit A Gun" and "Rat-tat-tat" and I was wondering why the cops hadn't arrested Dre yet for murder but he explained to me "I sit back relax do a job and jet" so then I realized they had not caught up to him yet  ;D

yea thats where the eazy-e came from

but my pops also used to have a cd folder wit all different types of music in it. i got the digital under underground and run-dmc from that folder

but you're right, it's my uncle who really got me into hip-hop. i remember he had a room full of west coast cds and a stereo system .. i used to love going there just to peep the latest cds he had.

Invincible:
Gangstas Paradise for me. Loved it the moment I heard it. California Love was the next. But then I started listening to Eminem and thats what got me into it full time. Never really liked much music growing up as I didn't hear much hip hop on the radio here in the UK.

dnjp4life:
Changes by 2Pac used to be on the radio all the time when I was getting lifts around.  I'd never heard music with lyrics delivering such urgency, intensity and touching on important social issues like that before. I knew I had to listen to more of this rapper's music as soon as I could find it.

But I had been into 'urban' music for a while before.  When I was super young my folks got me a best of 1993 compilation on tape and I can particularly remember really liking 'Informer' by Snow and 'Boom Shake the Room' by Will Smith.

Yeah, I thought "Informer" was like the greatest song in history of rap when it was out.  And "Boom Shake the Room" was wack as hell but I was also a fan of that one. 

I still say "Informer" was a nice track though
