i gotta say commons song- i use to love her if yall know any thing bout dat right there it was and is one of my favorite songs but listening to that rbought mt to hip hop and all other sorts of songs but thas the one that got me going and to here nas to that sing i gave u power that made me wanna to

sorry i posted twice

i rember that song

the gangsta rap shit got me into hip hop

Yea, I'd say Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise. After i memorized that, i was hooked.

I've liked hip hop my entire life..so when I was way younger, I don't really know. But in like 2002 I got into rock for a brief period...don't ask why, lol..but I went back to school in Sept and started hearing Wanksta and that brought me back. :evilgrin:

umm i started likin rap at like 5 or somethin when i got my first cd criss cross lol jump jump
but i wanted 2 start rappin after i heard eminems cd the eminem show mostly sing for the moment

For me I got my first tape from my bro when i was like 8. NWA 100 miles and runnin. That tape got me suspended from school when i played Just Dont Bite It at the class christmas party. haha.

back to the past
 

it was eminems infinte for me the way he played with words is crazy
and the metophors are off the hook

I'd have to say Tupac's - Hail Mary.. That's the first song I bothered to memorize word for word, and thought I pretty damn cool for doing so. Lol, those were the days..

push it - salt n peppa
motown philli - boys II men

eminems "hi my name is"

Linkin Park - In The End... for realz.

Dr Dre - Still D.R.E....i saw the video with Snoop and decided to buy Chronic 2001

dmx...Ruff Ryders anthem or tupac changes...

I remember first trying to rap when I was 7 or 8 in the days of Rakim and Big Daddy Kane--- I knew it was something I'd do fo life 94-95- all the Wu-Family albums insipired especially Old Rza/GraveDiggaz flows... 1

westcoast love
pharcyde(bizzare ride) was the first hip hop cd I actually persued, bought, and memorized. b4 then I listened 2 all kinds of b.s not worth mentioning.

I grew up on the lower northside of town and have always been into hip-hop its what i grew up with... but I would have to say what songs really Got me dedicated KILLARMY - WAKE UP THE FIRM - PHONE TAP ONYX - BACDAFUCUP & VERONICA

Atmosphere - Fuck You Lucy

i Don't Know Why But It Was Kinda The First Hip Hop Song i Heard. And i Really Envied Him Rhymes And Shit. Looking Back At Them Now i Still Think They're Timeless. He's Still Producing Tight Shit Too. Props To Him And All Of Rhymesayers.

-eB

shiat it was da whole Marshall Mathers LP....i just loved hip-hop from da day I started listenin to dat album. so i guess da song would have to be "The Real Slim Shady" cuz dat was da leadoff single

probally the song that brought me to hip hop is some shit by rakim

i thinkfor me it as guilty conscience dont know why but after hearing that song i was like yea,rap is cool.. haha

Aint nothin but a Gangsta Party!!! naw actually it was probably mama said knock you out

well mines slow motion by juvenile.... no im j/p i would say sumtin like gangstas paradise

ehhh for meit was party up by dmx i downloaded it and i started downloading more and more but now i dot download as much coz i know id hate it if i was a rapper and every one was downloading my shit instead of buyin so now i mainly buy albums

My shit that OPP on the real wit Naughty By Nature.
That beat was crazy all them cats jumpin around and shit.

Tupac - ambitionz as a ridah

dre/em guilty conscience

to me it was biggie smalls song but i dunt know what it was i think it was called "Get money" or sumthin, i heard one of his songs at 96' and since im 13 its been 9 years sice i loved hip hop.

Krs-one "step Into A World"

Gangsta's Paradise was the first rap song i really liked, and i think California Love and Ruff Ryders Anthem put me over the top. As for what really made me a hardcore fan, it has to be My Name Is...and that is the reason Eminem will forever be my favorite rapper...after that hip-hop just took control of my life...i was listening to everything, buying classics, getting into mixtapes, and later getting me into actually rapping.

2 pac really brought me into rap

Biggie - i dont remember what song. but i wanted his life after death CD after hearin sumthin. Been my favorite rapper since i was 9.

gotta be gangstas paradise......
think that woz the first rap song to hit the british charts
that shit woz massive in tha u.k.

but eminem def got me into it big time
basically coz he made it cool for white people 2 get into the scene

i kinda grew up wit rap( still am..lol) but my moms listen ta nwa,n 2pac so i kinda grew wit 2pac but the frist rap cd i ownd was bone thugs...so i havta say bone thugs was wha really brought me into da hip hop world

i kno it was a tupac song..lol

song that brought me into hip hop?

hhhhmmm. . . . i got to remember that one. . .

i think it may have been "gangstas paradise" that took it to another level for me. . . i got what he was sayin and i decided i wanted to do that. . .

but before that i think it was biz markie. . . "just a friend"

if u ain't hears that song i suggest u do. it's a a good story. . .
and i think from there i liked how rap could make stories and was about havin a good time . . . not just gangsta shit. . .
so yeah go out and listen to that one. . .
(i recommend it)

The Bridge is Over.

Either Bone Thugs-Crossroads or 2Pac and Dre California Love
