Another one that I couldn't bring myself to take out of my cd player was Goodie Mob "Still Standing".

Raw footage is still my favorite rap album thats ben out in awhile

Mr. J · 07-09-2009, 07:49 PM

Method Man, Redman & Wu-Tang got me hooked back in the early 90's! I loved Rap in the 90's!

MCT · 07-09-2009, 07:50 PM

I started off with Kane.

then in the early 90's, my cousin came down from Chicago and threw on NWA - 100 Miles N Runnin. I was 10 years old at the time (1990). Imagine the look on my face hearing a bunch of dudes droppin the N-bomb and F-words like they were going out of style. After that, I was West Coast'ed OUT. Ice-T, Ice Cube, NWA, Spice 1, MC Eiht, you name it, I loved all that stuff back then. Then when Wu Tang came out, my other cousin from NYC came down to Florida and played a DJ Ron G mixtape that had "M-E-T-H-O-D Man" on it....forget it. That was it. Wu Tang completely changed my life. Then of course B.I.G. and Nas came out with their debuts and that solidified the deal. I couldn't go back to West Coast hip hop, it just seemed so ignorant and simple minded compared to those cats.

But the one group/song that really got me into East Coast music was Pete Rock & CL Smooth. They Reminisce Over You. The greatest beat I've ever heard in my life...to this day. The horn sample in the beginning just grabbed me and never let go. Still have every line of that song memorized in 2009.

That sounds like me too.

No I haven't, Are they mexican or something? I listen mostly to puertorican rappers. have you heard of Tempo, Lito y Polaco or Vico C??

Go Blue · 07-09-2009, 08:29 PM

I think the first 2 albums that hooked me were Follow the Leader - Eric B & Rakim and It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back - Public Enemy. The albums that "changed my life" were (in order of when I heard them) NWA - Straight Outta Compton, Eazy E - Eazy Duz It, Dr Dre - The Chronic, & Wu Tang Clan - 36 Chambers.

I like the way spanish sounds when rapped, But i would need a translation book to understand and that is a lot of work.

Yeah they have a nice "flow" to things. I dont know how to describe it really, For lack of better words; spanish rappers sound more mature if thats even possible

...hmmm, for me it's kind of a toss up between Kanye West & Just Blaze....Or Hi-Tek!

MaCruz · 07-10-2009, 01:14 PM

Any thoughts about Dr. Dre?

Is and forever shall be Dan the Automater.

Just Blaze blew it when he messed up things with Saigon. That would have been an amazing debut album. I still bump Pain in my Life when I can.

If The Lost Tapes 2 is any indication of where Kanye is headed next, then he's set to come back full force.

Dre still has to deliver and prove Detox is real.

Mr. J · 07-10-2009, 01:53 PM

Dr. Dre is well established Producer as well. Almost every beat he creates is an instant "Hit". Dr. Dre will always be one of my top 5 producers.......but WTF is going on with Detox?

Lookup on youtube his Dr. Pepper commercial. Rumor is that's one of the beats from Detox.

MaCruz · 07-10-2009, 01:57 PM

Is Kanye West's lost tape on you tube? I can't find a specific one.
