I got my first taste in rap through:
1. Beastie Boys (will always be my favorite)
2. Young MC (first rap album I bought with my own money... lol)
3. DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince (Nightmare on My Street.. nuff said!)
4a. Dr. Dre/Snoop (If I have to say anything, then I'll say "The Chronic")
4b. 2Pac (Amazing!)
5a. Digital Underground (The Humpty Dance WAS that epic!)
5b. MC Hammer ("Too Legit" was a must on the bus heading to basketball games.)
During my high school days, my favs were extended too:
6. Bone: Thugs In Harmony (First of Tha Month was a kickstarter for my cross country runs)
7. Warren G (who DOESN'T know the words to Regulators?!?!?!)
8. Anyone who was on "The Show" soundtrack (DMX, Redman/Methodman, Onyx... wow!)
9. House of Pain (One word... Jump!)
10. Coolio (of you never listened to Fantastic Voyage: hmmmmm)
As the years went on:
11. The Roots (a buddy of mine kn the Air Force introduced me to them. Straight dope.)
12. Ja Rule (Hate that he fell off.)
13. Jay-Z (First song I heard of his was "Can I Get A...". Next day went out and got all his albums.)
14. Ludacris (Word of Mouf was one of the greatest Rap albums ever.)
My Honorable Mention:
Ton Loc, Vanilla Ice, Mystical, Wreks-n-Effect, Eminem (he's good just not my fav)
I am sure there are others, but these are the most frequently played on my playlist.
