So, where's the best start?

Everyone keeps ignoring you so I will answer.

I'm not even sure what you are looking for exactly but I'll give you a few recs.
Afrika Bambaataa - Planet Rock: The Album
Run DMC - Raising Hell
Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet
LL Cool J - Radio

If you were talking about early 90s and gangsta rap type stuff I can do a follow up post with recs for that instead.


Oh and there is this handy thread that probably needs some updating but it's perfect for what it is now.
