Follow-up hip-hop question:

Geeno · 01-12-2010, 02:53 PM

What was the first hip-hop album you listened to front to back?

Cypress Hill - Black Sunday or Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill

Probably was Black Sunday though, I remember asking my mom to buy it for me at wal-mart, it was moderately censored.

crookedhatinator45 · 01-12-2010, 02:56 PM

'Arrested Development: 3 years, 5 months & 2 days in the life of..' back in '93 when i was 5 years old. got it from the library.

Just so you guys know I'm jacking these questions from the facebook of a well known produce dj extraordinaire. Only meant to jack the first one but the segway was inevitable

edit- was released in 95, i was 11

its crazy to think that people of my generation literally grew up with hip hop

Man in Black · 01-12-2010, 03:51 PM

I think it was probably East 1999

most embarrassing one of the thread:

Informer by Snow. First cassette I ever bought. Hiphop-ish? If you don't count that it might have been Coolio Gangsta's Paradise.

Bearsy · 01-12-2010, 09:56 PM

Enter the 36 Chambers - Wu Tang

I hate to admit that it was only a few years ago too. I don't have much hip hop knowledge, obv.

Sugar420 · 01-12-2010, 10:34 PM

Grieves · 01-13-2010, 12:51 AM

Tupac - Me Against The World

verklingen · 01-13-2010, 07:09 AM

i have never heard a whole rap record

myxomatosis · 01-13-2010, 08:13 AM

^ That's unfortunate.

Speaking of unfortunate I'm pretty sure mine was Jay-Z - Volume 2 on cassette. It was that or 36 Chambers which I bought around the same time.

Hooked · 01-13-2010, 09:57 AM

the soundtrack to 'Eddie,' maybe? i think it was mostly hip-hop...i grabbed it for the Coolio track. I had a friend with the 'Dangerous Minds' tape and we played 'Gangsta's Paradise' and some others a lot. I managed to get a couple singles of his ('1,2,3,4, sumptin' new, whatever the B-side was on that, and maybe the GP single). Casette. tapes. singles. being in elementary school and devising ways to cover or remove parental advisory stickers before mom bought 'em for me at the register.

Possibly 'Life after Death,' though I've never owned it and I doubt my friends and I could sit down and absorb an double disc concerning things we knew nothing of in 5th grade.

I'm wanting to say it was Busta's 'When Disaster Strikes,' but more likely is was Puff Daddy and the Fam's 'No Way Out.' Not a great record, but there's some classics on there. May also have been Master P's 'Ghetto D' album. I want to listen to that again now.

Quite possible, tho, that my brother made me listen to 'License to Ill' earlier than any of those. I didn't really like the shit then. The production work seemed, like, over-the-top and cheesy to me; I didn't get it. I wanted to hear 'Sabotage' and watch the video and shit. MTV, at it's peak. Not canned guitar riffs that sound dated, or my [half]brother singing along and banging the steering wheel and suffering spells of air guitar like he was getting the fucking Led out or something.

It's weird, the reasons I listened to rap/hip-hop as a young lad as compared to now. I took somewhat of a reactionary course near the end of middle school, and though I still listened to shit, I rarely purchased it. I would argue passionately with my peers about the musical merits of their sound of choice. Wasn't until the last couple years of high school that I started paying attention again (though this may directly correlate to the exponential increases in the quality of the production work backing these lyricists/MCs/rappers/singers). I wish I had been a bit more fair.
