Trina /Mystical / Luda / bowow/ OutKast/ Baltimore club music on house radios and 92q while driving the interstate Than understood what albums were with Joe and Jaheim but that’s rnb. Nelly first rapper that penetratated culture in this superstar way from my recollection

I remembering loving Crazy in Love in kindergarten, also Hey Ya but idk if that counts

think it’s just my earliest memory of being in a car with my brother
And seeing 50 and one videos on MTV at 4 or something

honestly, Lil Waynes verse in Down by Jay Sean is probably what did it for me

first rap album i ever got was nellyville, i feel like him tip outkast hov and ye was my first rap artists i listened to

my earliest memory of hearing a rap song on the radio is down and out and oh boy doe

NWA - The Legacy Vol. 1

my dad only listens to biggie and gorilla zoe for some reason lol

Something Tupac related and/or 50 cent, both probably one after the other

kendrick lamar not like us

No idea. It's been getting played since my birth

But i remember when illmatic first got spun i was so shocked

Wish i could listen to illmatic for the first time again

I was mainly always outside as a little kid, but one day i was home and my sisters had their CDs out and one of the CDs was Get Rich or Die Trying

I think i rewound 21 questions like 20 times and memorized all the lyrics. got in trouble at school and my dad was called cause i was rapping the song to all the girls in class

first hiphop moment though was watching these local dudes from my childhood city come out and perform for a corporate event my dad was hosting. It was crazy cause they were the biggest in the city at the time and one of the dudes was my neighbor. RIP to him, young legend

Older sister would always play me her music off her iTunes library had a lot of s*** like Terror Squad, Juelz Santana, Juvenile, basically whoever was poppin in the early 2000s lol

She put me on to Kanye and actually took me to go get Graduation when it came out in stores. Honestly I thank her for my music taste in general

they got me young, had the men in black cassette tape lmao

B.o.B Airplanes featuring Hayley Williams

I don’t have one, too born into it to pinpoint

My cousin took me for a drive in his car when I first came to America and popped graduation in the deck

My friends parents would play quik and Mac Dre while they bbq’ed for us.

I never became interested in hip hop till I saw OF on TV, and didn’t become a fan till my ex put me on GKMC in 2015 but it always existed around me in middle school because take care was everywhere

2pacs changes video on MTV

first rap album cover that was imprinted into my mind was God's Son but i never actually listened to it till later (was my brothers)

GRODT was probably my first actual experience with a memory of it
