Was it something you found on your own? Did you have an older friend/relative that was a big hip-hop head? By accident?

As for me, it was something i found on my own. Also, my older cousin was playing "So Many Tears" by 2Pac one day, and i was hooked. Share some stories yall!

I'm embaressed to admit that rock/rap got me into rap. when i was in middle school i liked rock groups that rapped such as Limp Bizkit. Then Eminem got really popular and I liked him alot, who didn't back in 1999-2000? lol. Then I expanded on and on from that point. I remember Gold Mac gave me a copy of It was written freshman year of high school, that album made me love rap even more. Thanks Gold Mac, lol.

Its funny now I havn't listend to rock at all basically since middle school. Rap took me over. I just didn't like all that yelling, rap was just more for me. And I realized it because even the rock groups I liked were influenced by rap. that was the alarm for me...

you and mac know each other? lol i never connected the dots i suppose lol. sad to say, i liked limp bizkit as well, but i didnt know any better, i was about 13 or so. As hip-hop started deteriorating (imo), i started getting into other music, metal, reggae, jazz, trip-hop. That's why i dont really know whats hot right now, and i had no idea Lil Wayne was dubbed the best rapper alive.

MC Hammer in the late 80's and 90's when I was a little boy...no joke. From there it was Illmatic and E. 1999 Eternal in elementary school. LL Cool J too. Then later in middle school and high school I really got into listening to as much stuff as possible. I went through the period of really feeling particular types of rap/hip hop. For awhile it was straight east coast ****, then I had a period of strictly listening to the most underground **** I could find, then it was stuff like Do or Die, Twista and a reunion with Bone.....

Now I just listen to anything that's good regardless. Good music is good music. 5 of my very favorite rappers are AZ, LL, Tech N9ne, Common and Devin The Dude....you won't find anything more contrasting stylistically.

its nothing to be ashamed of really. Limp Bizkit was cool in their day, even doing a song with Method Man.

Yeah me and Gold Mac grew up together...biggest hip hop head I ever knew. ever....

Gold Mac probably was born with head phones on playing Illmatic.. LOL

i was 16 when i knew i was a hip-hop head. Wu-Tang Clan and A Tribe Called Quest were my favorite group, i followed them religiously. After that, at 18 or so, i moved onto cats like Atmosphere, Cannibal Ox and Jedi Mind Tricks. Then it was metal, sad that i got into metal through Slipknot and Marilyn Manson, any headbangers in here?

Its cool. I know people that all kinds of music. Theres nothing wrong with that, infact I almost respect those people more. People that are open minded about music kick ass.

I know this kid at work that likes rock too, I told him make me a mix. I'll give it a listen.

For some reason in middle school I was obsessed with Wu-Tang. Meth was my favorite (he was easily the most likable from a casual standpoint) and my favorite song was, not surprisingly, M.E.T.H.O.D. MAN.

By the way, I love that song too. I was listening to it today, its just a fun song. Meth is my favorite of the clan and one of my top 3 favorites period

Love Meth, but for me it was The Gza that got me addicted to Wu-Tang. Liquid Swords is special to me.

Nice. I'd say GZA was one of the last prominent members I really got into. I always liked his contribution to their music, but he didn't make an impact on me for whatever reason. Maybe I wasn't mature enough to respect his talent or whatever.

I don't think I really came around on GZA until I bought Legend of the Lquid Sword in '02. I think I accidentally fast forwarded on the album and listened to "Silent" first and it blew me away. That **** went hard as hell.

Then I went back and picked up Liquid Swords and played it in a span of a week. Brilliant album.

as far as the lyrics go, GZA is the best out of the clan...

is it safe to say that Wu-Tang played a pivotal role in everybody's earlier life in this thread?

Hmmm cancel that...I thought the best Wu member was Inspectah Deck at first. His verse on Triumph is one of the 20 greatest verses all-time however you wanna look at it. **** was crazy...

Wu-tang appreciation thread is on its way

I bomb atomically//Socrates philosophies and hypothesis...

f.uckin classic bruh

i cant recall on how i got into hip hop. i remember my uncle playing bone thugs all the time when i got here from the philippines and their rhythm and flow just got me hooked like a clukc on rocks or maybe it was just mtv and its life style that made me fall for it harder OR maybe it was just my family that was always hip to to listening to rap. not sure what it was, but i sure was surrounded by it.

my boy Steve ONLY rocks Wallabes. and when i say only, i mean ONLY. i have never seen him wear any other brand of shoe. watching his face at any Wu member's concert is like watching someone on trial for murder...he's THAT serious. everyone will be all wild n **** and Steve's just posted up with a slight head nod with a face of stone. there is no question in my mind that Wu-Tang is this dude's religion. but then again, Steve is also the only dude i know who actually and very much legitly pours out liquor for his "homies". haha again, he's THAT serious.

anyways...

i became very attracted to hip hop first when i was mad young and i was watching TV and a commercial for this compilation CD came on that featured Mo Money Mo Problems. that was in 97 so i guess i was...9. i remember pointing to the TV when the commercial came on and saying to my parents, "That's my favorite song" and i hadn't even heard the entire thing yet. of course in retrospect i see that they weren't too impressed because my parents are ignorant white people. maybe they thought it would change but it didn't. so i asked for the CD for Christmas and once i got it i would always make up dances to it alone in my basement (because i was a dancer for years starting a couple years before that). then that same year i got Puff Daddy and The Family's No Way Out and was obsessed with I'll Be Missing You and All About The Benjamins. My sister's nanny bought me Ma$e's Harlem World for Christmas that year and Usher's My Way for my birthday. I started watching BET's the top ten count down every Friday night and i remember loving that old Missy Elliot...her Supa Dupa Fly ****. Sock it 2 me and The Rain...Missy use to be so sick. And that old Timbo **** with her and Magoo...and this was back when BET use to play that real good ****, when the count downs were once a week and mad legit. (maybe they still do do a friday night one but i dont know, i dont really watch it much anymore).
Then it was just pure Biggie for a while, and then i discovered the underground. and that was it. once i found underground hip hop my passion quickly developed. i say passion because that's when i started hearing hip hop not just with my ears but with my soul. Wu, Tribe and Gang Starr were what did it at first and after that all i wanted to do was find more and more of it. I started gathering as much of it as i could and really focusing on it...reading up on it and ****. The Roots said it best...

lmao....:D

haha i know

i watched him do it on New Years eve a few weeks ago. the dj was playing something hard like Wu Tang or Mob Deep and he pours out a little stream of Stoli onto a ****ing penthouse floor. we were at this packed out classy jam on the top floor this balling ass condo and everyone was dressed mad nice and i'm watching Steve in his ****ing Wallabes, hoodie and jeans pouring out liquor all over this shiny white tiled floor as he's leaning side to side with the beat. and of course he screwfaces like a mother****er as he's doing it. seriously some of the most hillarious **** i've ever seen. he's one of a kind.

yeah yo Timbo use to come out with that HOT **** back in the day. once he got famous in the mainstream through all his Flo Rida and Justin Timberlake **** i was like pssshhhhhh. y'all DON'T EVEN KNOW what's good! haha and then i went back to my humble little self...

lol. hes got that kid i know beat....funny story. I saw Wu-Tang shirt at the mall, I thinking about buying it.

its definitely a worth while investment

i copped one a while back specifically for the Method Man show i was reaching that night and of course they didn't have any in ladies so i gripped a mens and "ladied" it up. i ripped the shoulder so it falls off a bit and tied up the sides so it ended up being mad cute and i got mad compliments on it at the show. to this day, probably the best clothing purchase i ever made. i bought matching black and yellow dunks that day too. i was a true Killa Bee on the swarm, baby. you know what it izzzzz...haha.

once i bought that t-shirt i realized how universal the Wu-Tang Clan really is. it doesn't matter where i wear it to, there is always at least one random person who i don't know that throws up the W and screams WU-TANG! in my direction. and it's hype too because we connect for literally 2 seconds, but the connection is mad strong because it's over the Wu. and it's all different kinds too. people that you really wouldn't expect it from. it's ****ing beautiful.
Wu-Tang forever, baby.

Well I always heard stuff like Grandmaster Flash, Slick Rick and and Run DMC around me, but I didn't really get into Hip Hop untill I first heard Big Daddy Kane.

Skating back in 4th grade. Gangstarr, atmosphere, Nas, Wutang, maaaaan the good ol days. Been about.. 11 or 12 years now. :]

Edit: I always thought skating and hip hop went hand-in-hand. It was just too perfect. Hahaha..

**** man, where do I begin?

In the 90's is when I got with my crew of DJs and MCs and started DJing around10th-11th grade.

Been producing since 2002.

Great we got a DJ in the house! how did you get started bro, ive been wanting to start buying some equipment, what did you buy first?

by default. First album was Snow's 12 Inches of Snow, MC Shan was on informer, looked into him/juice crew which brought me to the mighty KRS-one, then to rap mags, the radio and from there, 1992-93, my love of hip hop was born.

Brothers listened to it. Living in NY it was natural to get into it. Been listenin since 97(only 7 years old) comprehendin since 99 lol. My brothers was bumpin Big L cd's and DMX **** when it first came out. Aint really remember when BIG died but def remembered da Lox video(We'll Always Luv Big Poppa). Remember Bone Thugs Crossroads video as well.

Great we got a DJ in the house! how did you get started bro, ive been wanting to start buying some equipment, what did you buy first?

I use 2 1210 Technics and a Rane TTM 57 Mixer with the Serato program (you've probably seen DJs with laptops next to the equipment, they're more than likely using Serato.)

Example of how Serato works:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fSVqh6ryLho&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fSVqh6ryLho&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Depending on your budget, you can cop a pair of 1200 Technics anywhere from $550-800, Mixers run around $150-$500, and you'd need some headphones and some good monitors along with needles.

All together if you can get some good deals you're looking at a bit over a $1000

i was just a little homie out in the streets chillin, and den one day I started rapping because i read dr. sues books and enjoyed the rhyming...haha

and one of my homies said yo son you pretty nice....i was like word? he was like fa sho.
