Krsone, but before that i thought all rap was like it was the radio. I was like 14 haha. But as soon as I heard him it lead me to A tribe called Quest, Wu tang and others made me love hip hop before then I had no idea how much good hip hop was out therw.

I think this was probably the first tune to catch my interest...

The Clash - The Magnificent Seven - YouTube

Followed by this...

Grandmaster Melle Mel & The Furious 5 - White Lines - YouTube

back in 1984 i had a break dancing mix tape with this song on it....had no clue what this song was about but loved it

but then in 1986 i heard these guys

and they are one of a few bands that i have loved for their entire career

when Beastie Boys and Run DMC came through Reno in 1987 i convinced my mom to take me....to this day i still take shit from her for this

watching that video makes me wonder how in the hell Ad Rock married Kathleen Hanna

Public Enemy. As a sheltered Midwestern white boy, my first exposure to them was the inclusion of "By the Time I get to Arizona" on the THPS4 soundtrack. I bought their greatest hits and started listening to 90s hip hop from there.

It's probably Eminem for me

Mainstream hip hop has occasional gems that I occasionally fall in love with, but Tyler the Creator and his crazy talks with his therapist saved me from being a casual listener and made me really fall in love with the genre.

Along with Sugarhill and Schooldaddy, i'd have to give it up to compilation hip hop stuff from the early 80's. I used to break dance and it was huge in So-Cal. We used to hit competitions with about 1000 heads present. I always love Run DMC but {Its Time} by Soul was the first to really make me take notice.
