Do you remember the first rhyme that blew your mind?

[Blankthawtz]

I was 10....i heard it... I was HOOKED...

if I ever meet Dres in person I will shake his hand and thank him for my rap addiction...

 

[Cladyclad]

It was Let me ride by Dr Dre for the longest . I thought no rapper could rap better than Dre when I was 9 yrs old. Up until I was 14 I would always think that way. Then one day I was watching a music video show on public access in Detroit. Jay Z streets is watching movie came on. I heard You Must Love Me & more specifically Where I’m From for the 1st time like. To this this day I never been impressed by any form of media like I was that day. From that day forward I knew Hov was GOAT

"I drop jewels, wear jewels, hope to never run it · With more kicks than a baby in a mother's stomach."

Just impressed by how casually and simple he said it but it still made me think for a second

 

[the cac mamba]

They call me Jay Electronica
fukk that, call me Jay ElecHannukah
Jay ElecYarmulke
Jay ElectRamadan Muhammad Asalama'Aleykum Rasul'Allah subhana wa ta'Allah through your monitor
My uzi still weigh a ton, check the barometer
I'm hotter then the mothafukkin' sun, check the thermometer

the bolded is just i must have ran that back 20 times

[R-Typ3]

Rakim

I take 7 emcees put 'em in a line
And add 7 more brothers who think they can rhyme
Well, it'll take 7 more before I go for mine
Now that's 21 emcees ate up at the same time

I'm just writin my name in graffiti on the wall from ghetto to ghetto from backyard to yard i tear it up y'all and bless the mic for the gods

 

[Antwon Mitchell]

To G or not to G, is the question and like Smith told Wesson I'm shady with the .380 old school diploma I'll leave that ass in a coma

Ghostface on "The Champ"

"This is architect music, verbal street opera"

This WHOLE track is what REALLY got me into hip hop honestly. Like not too long after I heard this song I got a computer and started listening to all of Ghost's albums, Wu-Tang and just a lot of older stuff.
