Umm i got this idea from someone esle but i was thinkin about how long i've been listening to hip hop and even though its cliche now i wanna ask,
When Did You Fall In Love With Hip Hop?

Personally i remember the exact day, it was the day b4 the 4th of July, i was 8 and my brother had just got out of jail that morning, he drove me around with him through the Bridge. Illmatic had dropped like a month or two before and while he was smoking he played It Aint Hard to Tell in the car and i was hypnotized, he let me hold onto the cd and i absolutely fell in love with it and identified what Hip hop is. I remember the day because my brother died the next night, R.I.P. Rob. so whats ya'lls stories? 1luv.

January 21st, 1995.... was only 7... about to turn 8....

got hypnotized by Illmatic and Ready to Die and Me Against The World.... only really like the tunes but when i turned 12 was when i really started getting into the lyrics and true hip-hop

when i started getting into lyrics and true hip-hop elements*

when 'Secret of the Ooze' came out and Vanilla Ice came on stage and did 'Turtle Rap'...

^That shit was Gully in the turtles movie, "Go turtles go turtles go!" lol but on the real tip, when did u fall in love with hip hop Dez? 1luv.

Then. Im serious.

2 occasions

my first kiss - house party

it was an offical love:

came home from school, and my brother was with his friend were listening to the radio when a song came on...they were both talking about the beat and i was like..wow...this guy sure is smooth

i later purchased the album and was let down...that was the only smooth track on it

i was also exposed to weed at the same time

Nothing but a G thang - the chronic

Hmmm....I didn't buy a Hip-Hop album until 2000....

But I guess in late 1995/ early 1996 when I saw the Bone Thugs N Harmony video for "Crossroad"

cant member the date but it was when 36 chambers came out. I was 5 years old, and my cuzin let me listen to it on his walkman lol good times. Thats when i feel in love wit hip hop

anyone who fell in love with hip-hop as a little kid will now what im talking about....

you hear it thru your life but u dont really acknowledge... like in the early nineties and late 80's NWA and Vanilla Ice and the chronic and all kinds of stuff were being played, but i didnt actually realize it was hip-hop... was too young so i didnt really see a difference in any music... but when u get older you can distinguish.. thats why the first time i truly realize hip-hop was different (lol and better...) was in 1995

in a bout 1994-95 i was bout nine and heard pac records and wu tang, then once i got money i never stopped buying

When I heard G-unit - Stunt 101..

^^lmao yea that was the turning point for me too.
i mean i was like wow this is true hip hop.

We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office
Aesop.

Bout 2000... some kid had Eminems Slim Shady LP.. went from there to The Chronic 2000... then progressed into real hiphop...

When 36 chambers came out. Honestly i didn't even like Wu Tang Clan i just got it cuz my big brother liked it so i brought it first (i used 2 b an asshole) then i listenned 2 it and was amazed by the way they were spitting. Shit blew my entire mind, back then i had the Tape jumpoff so i was breaking the rewind button on my joint trying to find the exact spit "Can it Be all so simple" started. Damn bring back memories i should go listen 2 that joint again
