Thinking back it wasn't until Jr High that I really felt I made my choice in music. Times were different then because Hip-Hop was barley being introduced unlike now. You have dozens of styles of Hip-Hop to listen to. Before the 7th grade wasnt much more than Run-DMC, Dream Team, Sugar Hill, Whodini, LL, Beasties, and the usual 80's music. In our house it was mainly Country and Mexican music because thats what my parents played... But 7th & 8th grade brought me $hort,415, NWA, 2 Live Crew..etc thats when I knew what I was goint to listen too.
When did YOU KNOW that Hip-Hop/Rap was ya favorite
- Thread starter R8R
- Start date
the album that really really got me into hip hop was....
License To Ill by Beastie Boys in 1986...
even though I had heard other hip hop shit, i wasn't really convinced to be a hip hop fan.
but once I heard that License To Ill album....I knew from the start that I was going to be a hip hop/rap fan to the core....

Started listening to rap in 4th grade with Kurtis Blow, Run DMC, Fatboys, etc then the following year brought LL & Beasties but knew it was my crack in 6th-7th grade with the first Eazy-E Radio EP tape along with Short's Born to Mack...been over 20 years now and only keeps growing stronger. Damn, some of us are starting to show our age....lol.
Shea knew he loved hip hop back in the mid 70s while hanging out on 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx. He was the only one old enough to buy alcohol at the time for the parties and was looked up to by his little homie who went by the name Kool Herc.
Shea was old school before there was even a school to be in.
