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

haha, it was probably coolio - gangstas paradise, i cant even remember how old i was when it came out but that was the first rap tune i remember liking...

after that i was on the eminem and dre shit.... all commercial!!

my first Rap/HipHop cd like in 95-96 Bone Thugs N Harmony East 1999 Album - the whole album was tight. (never forget ^ first Parental Advisory CD i was allowed to get by my folks) I think one song would have to be East 1999.

50 would be hot whatever, he got the image and that gangsta shit but yeah... maybe your right! some people wouldnt be putting out shit, BUT BIG and PAC are made out to be sooo hot cos they dead, i know they both got skills, PAC more than BIG but the media attention makes them seem to be hip hop legends when really theres rappers alive that are way better. e.g Nas and Eminem, amongst others!
