Artist That Got You Into Hip Hop

Em didn't turn me on to the genre like other artists have, but he was definitely the first hip hop artist I listened to - as in actively seeking out his music - before I really knew what hip hop was.

Biz Markie awakened my love for the hip hop genre, though I don't listen to much.

As redundant as it might sound at this moment I'd have to say Eminem. Even though I grew up with a lot of rap music around me.

It had to be Eminem's MMLP album that got me into Hip-Hop. When I first heard Stan, I was in awe. I was born in '96 so for me to be able to understand the story that was being told is crazy to me. The Way I Am was also a favorite. His anger & aggression on that record is off the charts. You could really feel what he was feeling at the time he was making the record. Great artists usually do that.

I think those who has special flow and voice can attract me. such as A$AP Rocky, G-Dragon, MC JING and so on.

Beastie Boys and Run DMC used to by the only rap groups I enjoyed. I was a mainstream rock purist at the time. Now I'm an all-music but Top 40 purist.
