I think for me it was Dr Dre - Whats the difference
I had got like Em's album and whatever before that, but back then there wasnt really a big Hip Hop scene In the UK so I heard this song in HMV or somethin one day, and that influenced me to buy 2001, and after that I got more and more interested in hip hop, and bought more and more albums and whatever,

so yeh, I was just wonderin what song really kicked off the hole Hip Hop and Rap for you lot
