I'm West Indian my parents hated rap like crazy. My first exposure to rap was the older kids on the block. First albums I remember hearing was BDK-Its a Big Daddy Thing and Special Ed- I Got it Made.

Other than that I had an older brother so everything was being played. I was like 9 when Jay dropped The Bluprint. That shyt was in heavy rotation.

Ruff Ryders got mad play too.
