Got a bunch of albums before I finally got into it, like five or six, but then when I heard One Love, I was like, hey, there's something to this music. Made me feel likethe life long ignorant ass I was.
That song was my jam and I almost banged out my first grade teacher because the snitch was trying to tell me that Will Smiths Men in Black isnt a genre of music :roll:....
Coolio I guess for just liking rap, Biggie's Ready to Die for appreciating more about what rap had to offer from a lyrical perspective, and Black Star for getting me into underground when it first dropped.
I can't remember. I heard alot of rap songs before I like it but i'm not sure which one I really liked and made me take interest. The earliest one I can remember was Make Em Say Ugh LOL! Then there was RuffRyders Anthem and I know I liked the MMLP. So some of those anyway.
Everyone where I live got MMLP when it came out and I knocked my big sister's copy and bumped it for months. Then a few years later I got limewire and started downloading more Hip-Hop songs but I didn't really love Hip-Hop until I heard The Magic Number, Eye Know and Me, Myself & I by De La Soul.
oh ya! I almost forgot, My complex went through a DMX phase around 98' and i can remember sitting on my front step in the summer evenings and people kept playing "How's it going down" I will now forever love that song, its just so chill
In Da Club, But hear me out ! I had never really listened to hip hop and this was the first song that everyone had in 5th grade when I was 11, My hip hop tastes have changed SO much since then, when I found....the Wu Tang.
I started listening to music around 2000, and I was mostly into the mainstream music of the time... I wasn't even hearing hip-hop radio until I heard that Jay-Z song 'H to the Izzo'... I bought 'The Blueprint' when it came out, and it is by far my favorite hip-hop album ever, since that is the album that got me to LISTEN to hip-hop. 8)

Probably The Blueprint by Jay-Z. I was in 7th grade when it came out, and I remember my mom sent me to school with pink eye, when I get sent home she felt bad and offered to buy me a cd, and I chose that one and listened to it all day and instantly fell in love with it.
