What Artist, Album, or Song put you onto Hip Hop?

[hoopsmusicshoes]

I was born into it, but 2Pac was my first favorite rapper

 

[mben32]

For me it was Tupac, specifically the song Keep Your Head Up.
one of the first hip-hop songs, along with warren g "regulators", that i can remember actually liking and paying attention too..made mea pac fan in the mid-90's but im rather young(1 so what really got me into hip hop deeper than just listening to it on the radio was"Blueprint"

back in 7th grade..probably the first album i everlistened to all the way through w/o skipping a track. before that i would just listen to albums for the song i would like i.e. the single off of the album.blueprint just takes me back to fall '01 and makes it feel like it was yesterday...

I honestly don't think it has anything to do with age. Everyone gets into it at a different age, some later than others.

Snoop Dogg - Nothin But a G Thing

He was my first favorite.

Wow, how could I forget about Crossroads?

I wore out my sister's cassette.

I started out YOUNG . . . My first few tapes were

X Clan - To East Blackwards
D.O.C - No Does It Better
Young MC - Stone Cold Rhymin
Hammer - Please Hammer Don't Hurt Em

But I was a HUGE Bobby Brown fan when I was around 4 or 5, he was my hero, so my mom bought me the Don't Be Cruel cassette, and I basically stopped goinoutside, because I always wanted to listen to it . . . "Girl Next Door", "Tenderoni", "Every Little Step", "Don't BeCruel", "My Perogative" . . . I loved those songs, and Bobby Brown used to be my fav rapper

then I realized he wasn't the typicalrapper, but I used to get him and Big Daddy Kane confused because of their haircuts I think . . .

Naughty By Nature later became my fav from 91 till around when Cuban Linx, and Infamous dropped . . . I was in 4th grade then.

MC Hammer and Kriss Kross when I was a shorty, I used to be dancing to 'Jump' and Here Come the Hammer, or Hammer Time, whatever that joint wascalled.....

 

[skip2mylou23]

I've always loved hip-hop but I wasn't so obsessed with it as now. For sometime I grew tired of the crap they would put on the radio and I stoppedlistening to music.

Then I heard "Through The Wire". I've been heavy on hip-hop ever since.

 

[MajinZuub]

Beastie Boys
