Your introduction to hiphop

simplephysics · 05-11-2009, 09:19 PM

In middle school, my best friend's brother listened to Three 6 Mafia religiously... so for a long time that's really all I was exposed to. Can't complain, really.

The first hip hop album I remember blindly buying and really getting into was ODB - Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version. I'm pretty sure I had that before I got the actual 36 Chambers album.

De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising for me.

I was very much in the 'rap is just about guns and hoes' state of thought so rapping about flowers definitely appealed to me

It's so weird how the "guns and hoes" image of hip-hop so completely took over the public perception in the 90s. When I was growing up I think NWA was literally the only gangsta type band that was well known, other than that hip-hop was mostly seen as party music with a smattering of political groups like Public Enemy.

"Can i kick it" by A Tribe Called Quest was the first hip hop song that i really got into when i was like 13 years old. Then when i was 14 Lucy Ford came out by Atmosphere... that changed my life.
