It was spring 1993 when I heard "Nuthin But A G thang"...was riding the subway in NYC when someone with a boom box was blasting it...he might have had the whole Chronic album on cassette playing...but specifically I heard that track and I was hooked forever 8)
Jay_J:
not one song can make you a hip hop head... one song can only make you a hip hop fan... you need to study hiphop and cultures to be a hip hop head.

this is somewhat true...I believe his premise was what song got you into hip hop though

Do you remember what it was that got you hooked, like something the beat caught you different than other stuff you'd heard before—or a line in the song?
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.
