i had a step brother that used to breakdance with his boys in my apartment building back in the early 80's and always looked up to them... It was the coolest thing to me... I used to ask him to write all over my Levi's the way they did, not even knowing what was on my pants....As I got a little older I realized it was rappers names(B.D.K stood out huge right across the right leg of my favorite pair) on there along with things like OZZY too -LOL....so i guess I was into HipHop as a culture from the time I was old enuff to step outside my apartment door into the rest of the building(about 5 yrs.old) it wasn't until '88/'89 that I really started getting into the music side of it.... my first tape i actually convinced my mom to buy for me was Walking with A Panther..... Damn I miss those days..... I wish you younger heads could've really experienced it all...long live the music tho'!

wow you had Infinite in 1996? that's actually a rare album, not on the internet but if you have the real thing than thats rare might even be worth something.

i used to hate hip hop when i was a kid, coz i thought rap and hip hop were the same thing. then i thought rap just meant old school and hip hop was new stuff but i was wrong. The first hip hop/rap songs i remember hearing was from my aunty when she would play OPP by Naught By Nature, or Bone Thugs or Doggystyle. I remember i used to like Bone Thugs when i was a kid and played their album Eternal 1999 or whatever its called, they were my fave plus i liked that Gangstas Paradise song. But then i started liking rock and hating rap. I got into hip hop playing the San Andreas game, i liked the anger in those Dr. Dre songs plus the beats. That got me into N.W.A then D.O.C. and then Rakim. I've been a hip hop head ever since.

I was kinda born into knowing hip hop, lol. My dad was a dj so I was always listening to hip hop, and house, and techno, and all that crap. I pretty much grew up with Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde, hell, I STILL listen to that album everyday. I worship that album, lol. Plus, my mom was always buying the most offensive rap music for me, like Eminem and all that... I remember when she bought me the Marshall Mathers LP she was like "Yeah... I said I was only gonna get you the edited version but it was sold out so i figured id just buy the original." lol I was like "Okay.."

and My mom and her friends used to blast Dr. Dre in the car.

and in second grade we moved to Ocean Beach and all the kids had the latest rap music and I remember skating and rappin lyrics of Dr. Dre songs and stuff with friends. lol

So yeah, I was pretty much surrounded by hip hop from the moment I was born.


livin life like some cheesy movie

When I was around 11 years old...

Saw this track on TV, I thought it was 2pac & Snoop Dogg... So I was first listening to alot of Westside stuff. Most artists name on mp3's are like: Snoop Dogg Ft. (name), (name) & (name).
And when I tried to search more Hiphop, I just ticked in those names in limewire. Mostly, in those featured names, there are those not-very-well-known-rappers in the westcoast, so I thought I was straight into the deepest shit! But I was wrong :D And one of those names was this Eastcoast rapper... And then I just searched alot of history of Hip-Hop (MC, DJ, Breakdance & Grafitti) because of that.

But when I discovered Youtube... the Hip-Hop world went open for me!

''Don't your friends told you about this?''

No they didn't, because they listen to that mainstream crap and all that when I tried to digg!

And one day, my mom came into my room, and heard that 2pac track Changes. She said: Hey, I know that song? So I'm like: What? You know 2pac? She answered: No, but the original track is Bruce Hornsby. I was like: Yeah sure!

And then I looked it up; it was true. So I was like: Wtf? And so on I discovered that Hip-Hop, was actually a sort of mixture from Soul,Funk,Jazz,Disco etc...

Of course it didn't go that fast :P But I'm tired of typing :p

PEACE!

shit, random scattered tape decks from my brother, Mtv and the 2 local radio stations. i was into pretty much all main stream until my SR of high school where i heard dance with the devil- immortal technique and the shit opened my eyes to underground. later that week i bout JMT- violent by design by chance and it turned out to be the classic of all classic underground albums and my personal favorite album to date.

lol I look back on that now and I see why... I still love Blink with my heart, because I grew up with them, and still enjoy their music, but they ARE NOT punk. Influenced by some punk bands? Sure. Are they punk? Fuck no.
