The one that started it all (first rap song)

[DANJ!]

I had heard a lot of songs via my brother always playing music, but the first time I heard a rap song and loved that shyt was

"King of Rock" by Run-DMC.

My mother had taped the video, and for whatever reason, that was the one that stuck with me. I was only 5. After that video, I wanted the album, I wanted to see Krush Groove when it came out...then when I saw Krush Groove, Run-DMC and the Fat Boys were my favorites. Then the following summer when Raising Hell came out- everybody had that shyt. The whole neighborhood was playin' that shyt every day that summer.

First rap song I ever heard was It's Tricky by Run DMC. Made my dad by me the tape at Payless store and played that tape till it wore out.

 

[Turbulent]

must have been 8 or 9 years old when i saw the video on TV. I had NO idea what the fukk nas was saying but the beat had me memorized. this was back when i thought who ever was rapping was also making the beats.

These were the first two hip hop songs I recall vividly when I first moved to the BX from Jamaica when I was 4



But , when this first released I was probably 8 or 9 thats when I really started to be intrigued by the whole concept of hip hop

Wasnt no one song that got me "into" hip hop... it simply was the music...

 

[MaccabeanRebel]

[Mikeatris]

Not the first but the one that got me into it real heavy.
