My older brother had me listen to run dmc, the fat boyz and other 80s rap when i was like 6 or 7. I can still spit some old ass fat boyz verses till this day. But when I got my fist hiphop cd Dj Quick "Quick is my name" when I was 12 that shit sealed the deal. Now I love all types of music but rap gotz it by a long shot.

I stole this tape from my sister that some boyfriend had made for her. Introduced me to Run DMC, Kool Moe Dee, etc.! I loved it and it was like nothing else I had ever heard. That was in 88 or 89...

I'm from the West, but I grew up listening to more EastCoast $hit in the beginning. Wu-Tang Clan especially. Jeru the Damaja as well. Black Moon, Boot Camp Clik, Smith N Wessun. Then shortly I discovered Dr. Dre, Snoop, Ice Cube and I was hooked on WestCoast G-Funk.


I love Rap, but I'm a big fan of electronic dance music as well. Right now, I'm more into electronica shit. I've been to a lot of raves lately and I just love that shit. Rap is a joke these days.
