This made me forever a HIP HOP fan.

Too Short - Life Is Too Short...1988 i believe i was still in elementary and the albums songs actually had messages about life.

Without a doubt... Too Short 4 life

Dr. Dre--The Chronic and Wu-Tang--36 Chambers

To be honest it was probably 2pac - Greatest hits when I was about 12. From there I went onto Stillmatic and then when I really got into Hip Hop i'd say Illmatic, Ready 2 Die and Dre 2001.

I used to hate Rap, Hip hop. A friend from work slowly introduced me and as odd as it sounds it started out with Fort Minor and Jay-Z's EP with Linkin Park. Then I started listening to all rap. Tupac's all eyez on me made me a real fan

Bone Thugs - Faces of Death and Creepin On Ah Come Up

nas - illmatic

^^^^^^^^^^^^

I had always grown up on it, Too Short, NWA, Dreand all that West Coast stuff, but the one that mademe a fan and made look deeper into it was

Outkast- Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik

When did you first listen to Illmatic? I find it strange that you was 2yrs old when it was released and around the time you was 10-12yrs old Eminem, Jay Z, Snoop & Dre would have been all over the radio yet Illmatic was the first album you listened to.

Not hating, just curious.

2001 and Marshall Mathers LP been hooked ever since I was 11.

Amazing album. Easily his best IMO.

He set the bar high for himself on that CD. MMLP looms over everything he's put out since like a dark cloud. Definetly a gift and a curse.

wu-tang clan -wu-tang forever
2pac- all eyez on me
