I had the braking 2 ost on vinyl that I still own to this day. I also had a force mds & rakim cassette that I stole off my older sister. Then I got into 2-live crew, NWA. Cypress Hill was the first cd I bought in 92. But I can say I first started to listen to hip hop in 86'87 when i was 8 or 9. Before that it was the oldies station or MJ.


I learnt allot from hip hop even though it isn't my favorite genre of music. Reggae and Dancehall is my shit growing up and DJ'n in Toronto...
