I got mine (Coolio-Gangsta's Paradise) in part because the mall record store covered the parental advisory sticker with their price tag.

My mom bought me the single for Gangsta's Paradise as my first hip-hop / rap record when I was 8 years old because she also really liked the song. Thanks Mom! I think the first full album I got was The Score by The Fugees pretty shortly after that and remember that really being the door into hip-hop for me.

tjones posted:The Diary up to Balls and My Word is such an amazing run of albums. It's honestly impressive. I just started The Diary before I read this! Like...really listening. Not like it was when the kids were asleep and the wife was out and I was doing housework. Having a good set of Bluetooth earbuds is really enabling me to listen harder with the kids around. kittenmittons posted:Where were y'all when you got your first rap album. poo poo wasn't allowed in my house, parents were hardcore anti-rap. Hell, I was too growing up, until I listened on Spotify. My first physical rap albums were for Father's Day last year - my wife got me Stoney and beerbongs and bentleys.

There might have been something before, but the first one I was obsessed with was Wu-Tang 36 Chambers. Back then I mostly listened to metal and industrial. I got a method man shirt that said "got meth?" and my mom destroyed it.

When we moved away from NY to Jersey I became a latchkey kid and I had strict parents so I was listening to some real bubblegum poppy poo poo, and then a friend from school brought over Ready to Die by BIG and we played it on my dad's sound system (he DJ'ed for extra cash) and I fell in love RIGHT away.

Klaaz posted:If i am not mistaken, Ice Cube's The Predator was my first owned rap album which I bought after RATM got me interested in people furiously talking over music This brings up something I've noticed in contemporary rap music. It seems like rappers these days are trying to sing as much as they talk. I think that's what I like about early '90s poo poo is that they're more talking than singing. Is it just me?

My older sisters got Fugees - The Score thinking it was a Lauryn Hill r&b album based off the radio singles. They ended up giving it to me because it was full of rap songs.

Thinking back, my brothers got me into Def Jux around 01. Then Wu-Tang then Atmosphere then this and that w 50 Cent or whatever might have been around at the time... Honestly, Jeezy and Three 6 Mafia from 2005/2006 put me on the path where I’m at now.

Willenium for Christmas '99. Marshall Mathers LP the following year. The next album I remember getting was Gorillaz's eponymous in summer 2001 but I got Blink 182's Take Off Your Pants and Jacket at the same time. I ended up being a rock kid until getting back into hip hop with the Beastie Boys and Q-Tip around 2009.

I would have been in high school and a goth at the time. probably the first stuff I bought was Aesop rock and other def jux stuff edit: RIP to my massive cd binder of industrial music and half the def jux catalog that was stolen along with my stereo in West Philly.

My dad worked in advertising. As a 7/8 year old boy, I loved going into the office on weekends with him. He’d catch up on work and I’d post up in the art room which had more markers and paper than I’d ever seen in my life. His art director would hang in there with me and work on stuff. He’d play music. One day he played Kool Moe Dee’s “Wild Wild West” for me and it must have hit a switch in my brain. He could tell how much i loved it, and gave me his cassette tape copy of How Ya Like Me Now. I wonder if he knows he made me a rap fan for life.

My first rap CD was also The Score by The Fugees, which snuck by thanks to the covers which my parents were familiar with, though I'd already been interested in picking it up when I saw them perform "Fu-Gee-La" on Mtv. I think I picked up the cassingles for "Tha Crossroads" by Bone Thugs, "Gangsta' Paradise" by Coolio and "I Wish" by Skee-Lo around the same time.

I think the great milenko came out my sophomore year of high school? Jesus Christ. At least that didn't last. I distinctly remember listening to one of their albums while still in high school and realizing that it was loving terrible.
