first rap song(s) you remember hearing?

[H.I.M.]

Triple Six Mafia Body Parts pt2. That started my love of rap. Not the best song in the world, but as a kid it just opened my eyes to a whole other genre of music that wasn't watered down radio bullshyt.

 

[Dirty D]

Mama Said Knock U Out was the song that I remember making me a fan of rap.

 

[DaveyDave]

I'm pretty sure it was U Can't Touch This lol lucky I visited my older cousin soon after that and he showed me some Ice Cube and PE tapes.

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

And speaking of Public Enemy...Fight the power was in that mix too...along with Nuttin But a G Thang, Brenda's got a baby & Deep Cover

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

Remember black sheep

Oh yaaa remember Fat Boyz lol lol

 

[Trinity]

Like any of you actually would remember that.

i think i worded the thread title kinda odd. 1st rap track(s) u remember and could identify by name... does that fit better?

the circumstance surrounding how we was introduced to it is different for everyone tho. if u cant remember, just name an early rap track from ur childhood that comes to mind, nbd

I can remember pretty easily. I didn't have any older siblings to put me on, lived in a small city in the middle of the country so didn't get to see older cousins or go to city record stores very often, no rap was getting played on TV here back in 90/91. So when Hammer hit and was big, along with Vanilla Ice that was the stuff I heard until my cousin put me up on Ice Cube etc, started buying my own Fu Schnicks CDs and all that.

 

[R.O. Double]

First song i remember hearing was Paul Revere on the radio. (I was 4)

First video I remember seeing was Bad by LL Cool J. (I was 4)

First song I learned word for word was Freaky Tales. (I was 6)

First tape I remember buying was Safe + Sound. ( I was 12) (my older brother was buying everything before that)

I love this hip hop shyt!

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

First song i remembered word for word was pain by 2pac
Not that pain the other pain from above the rim

 

[Trinity]

dope thread. gotta come back to this

thanks breh i wasnt sure what to make as my first thread but didnt see anything similar

interesting to see what reached different people and got them on the sound

 

[toomanydoses]

@tonytubbs I didn't say it was a shytty song I'll still jam it to this day. ah the memories. Plus if you're from the south and hate on 3 6 you are committing blasphemy.

 

[Self_Born7]

[MidwestD]

My intro to hip hop
