Dilated Peoples - Expansion Team, was the first hip-hop album I bought. Before that I was given Jedi Mind Tricks - Visions of Ghandi & Gangstarrs Moment of Truth by a buddy.

if you want to specific just about my first rap "CD"

it's 1,000 Clowns' debut

Recovery.

<_<

I liked it a lot at first.

Now that I know what good rap is, I don't like it quite as much.

Remember my friend doing me a tape of Tupac,Biggie,Busta Rhymes,Method Man, Eminem etc.

First cd I went out and bought though was Tupacs greatest hits. The double cd one with Hit 'Em UP & Troublesome '96 on.

NWA or Beastie Boys, can't remember. Yeah, I'm up there a bit in years.

Sole - Selling Live Water

That album changed me to say the least. My favorite Sole album.

Cypress Hill - Stoned Raiders and Cypress Hill - Till Death Do Us Apart (They came in the same package)

my first cd was a screw tape

which NWA?

Compton?

Solid Gold Hits by the Beastie Boys. A nice compilation that my mom bought me because I liked the song 'Brass Monkey'. It wasn't until MUCH later that I started to get into any rap beyond that album.
