If I remember correctly I was about 10 and it was NWA
some of the first rappers I heard was ghetto boys Too short and E-40

I can't remember............ .........I'm too old. lol

All I remember is that I was really into the breakin' music that came out in 82-84......I hadn't really heard much "Hip-Hop" though. The first shit I remember hearing and was like "Yo.....that's the shit" was in 1985. My pops bought me the Miami Vice Soundtrack and it had this song called "VICE" by (I think) Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel. After that........I was hooked. Not long after that (summer of 1986).........I moved to Las Vegas and met some cats from LA who hipped me to all the old school West Coast shit like Mixmaster Spade & Toddy T.....LA Dream Team.....Ice-T........Egyptian Lover.......World Class Wreckin' Cru (Dr. Dre). Then "Dopeman" & "Freaky Tales" came out and changed the world..........

Aaaahhhhh.............those were the good ol days. I miss them times..........:classic:

YALL PROBABLY NEVER HEARD OF HIM BUT I FIRST REMEMBER LISTENING TO THIS FOOL STEADY "B" HE WAS NICE WITH IT ALSO CHUBB ROCK WAS REAL NICE WITH IT YA FEEL ME?BUT THE SONG THAT CHANGED MY WAYS WAS "YOUNG BLACK BROTHA" BY MAC DRE. THAT IS A CLASSIC AND IT'S A TRIP I GOT A CHANCE TO KICK IT WITH HIM AND MAC MALL MATTER OF FACT WHEN I FIRST STARTED RAPPING IN "93" I KICKED IT AND PERFORMED WITH BROTHA LYNCH HUNG,DRE DOG,SAN QUINN,J.T. THA BIGGA FIGGA,E-40 AND THE CLICK WHEN THEY WAS" TIRED OF BEING STEPPED ON". AND A FEW OTHERS BACK IN THE DAYS.
