    How did you get into Hip-Hop?

    Was it something you found on your own? Did you have an older friend/relative that was a big hip-hop head? By accident?

    As for me, it was something i found on my own. Also, my older cousin was playing "So Many Tears" by 2Pac one day, and i was hooked. Share some stories yall!

    I'm embaressed to admit that rock/rap got me into rap. when i was in middle school i liked rock groups that rapped such as Limp Bizkit. Then Eminem got really popular and I liked him alot, who didn't back in 1999-2000? lol. Then I expanded on and on from that point. I remember Gold Mac gave me a copy of It was written freshman year of high school, that album made me love rap even more. Thanks Gold Mac, lol.

      Its funny now I havn't listend to rock at all basically since middle school. Rap took me over. I just didn't like all that yelling, rap was just more for me. And I realized it because even the rock groups I liked were influenced by rap. that was the alarm for me...

        you and mac know each other? lol i never connected the dots i suppose lol. sad to say, i liked limp bizkit as well, but i didnt know any better, i was about 13 or so. As hip-hop started deteriorating (imo), i started getting into other music, metal, reggae, jazz, trip-hop. That's why i dont really know whats hot right now, and i had no idea Lil Wayne was dubbed the best rapper alive.

          MC Hammer in the late 80's and 90's when I was a little boy...no joke. From there it was Illmatic and E. 1999 Eternal in elementary school. LL Cool J too. Then later in middle school and high school I really got into listening to as much stuff as possible. I went through the period of really feeling particular types of rap/hip hop. For awhile it was straight east coast ****, then I had a period of strictly listening to the most underground **** I could find, then it was stuff like Do or Die, Twista and a reunion with Bone.....

          Now I just listen to anything that's good regardless. Good music is good music. 5 of my very favorite rappers are AZ, LL, Tech N9ne, Common and Devin The Dude....you won't find anything more contrasting stylistically.

            its nothing to be ashamed of really. Limp Bizkit was cool in their day, even doing a song with Method Man.

            Yeah me and Gold Mac grew up together...biggest hip hop head I ever knew. ever....

            Gold Mac probably was born with head phones on playing Illmatic.. LOL

              i was 16 when i knew i was a hip-hop head. Wu-Tang Clan and A Tribe Called Quest were my favorite group, i followed them religiously. After that, at 18 or so, i moved onto cats like Atmosphere, Cannibal Ox and Jedi Mind Tricks. Then it was metal, sad that i got into metal through Slipknot and Marilyn Manson, any head****ers in here?

                Its cool. I know people that all kinds of music. Theres nothing wrong with that, infact I almost respect those people more. People that are open minded about music kick ass.

                I know this kid at work that likes rock too, I told him make me a mix. I'll give it a listen.

                  For some reason in middle school I was obsessed with Wu-Tang. Meth was my favorite (he was easily the most likable from a casual standpoint) and my favorite song was, not surprisingly, M.E.T.H.O.D. MAN.



                  I used to listen to this **** all the time. **** was like my anthem. I pumped RZA Hits and 36 Chambers all the time.

                    Gringo I use to know this kid, and Gold Mac will back me on this, he was a wu-tang addict. He was so wu-tang, he even had a pair of wallabes....lmao

                    By the way, I love that song too. I was listening to it today, its just a fun song. Meth is my favorite of the clan and one of my top 3 favorites period
