When Did We First Get Into Hip Hop? | @AskDEHH w/ Sophie

[@AFunkyDiabetic]

sometimes the simple questions are the best

[@sanogo3298]

NBA

[@ParoArtPixie]

Feefo's passive-aggresive 'Fuck you Mike' just killed me

[@ModestMediaTube]

It's interesting seeing how ppl came into hip hop at different times. You get so caught up in your own world thinking that everyone became hip to it the same time you did.

[@stronkbad5007]

Modest Media I didn’t start listening to hip hop until 2017. I’ve grown into it a lot through you guys! Thank you!

[@icoleman007]

DEHH are a cool bunch of dinosaurs lol

[@DatPMF809]

I was born in 95.. in 18 now.. Kanye West got me into hip hop back in 04-05. Every morning before school 'Through The Wire' & 'Gold Digger' would be on MTV. The melodies in Kanyes songs attached me as a young kid. Hes really a genius. And his albums covers with the "Dropout Bear" made it very child friendly, so it was something my mom approved. Appreciate all Kanye has done & hip hop music.

[@FirstnameLastname-nd9wx]

thats crazy, people born in 95 used to be 18

i was born 2002, im 20

[@nopenope7386]

I found hip hop when I was playing Gta sanandreas. I didn't even know it existed cus the people around me never played rap music.

[@petergriffin1689]

Being born in 95, Em and 50 were really the 2 dudes who brought me into hip hop. Encore and The Massacre were the albums that I couldnt stop playing and I'll forever remember those albums and how much they meant to me as a child.

Myke trollin', Riiiico Suave!! LMAO!!

[@mykectown]

I wasn't at first...but by the end it was just too funny to me! Haha!

[@ParoArtPixie]

I love Asks like this where they just reminisce and its just hilarity

[@mikeprice6302]

For me, Growing in the South people love the hype, ass shaking type stuff and Im 16 now. So I remember hearing stuff like "Does Your Chain Hang Low?" "Go DJ" "Walk It Out" "Ghetto" by Akon. "Two Step" "Pop Lock and Drop It" "Pop Bottles" that whole 5 year period of rap is my early years. Then I heard "The Way I Am" it changed my view on hip hop forever. Then came "Candy Shop" and "Hard Knock Life".

[@NMV-eq5jt]

My dad and my brothers always played Geto Boyz, 2Pac, and 50 Cent around me all the time. Being a little kid in the 2000's Get Rich or Die Trying was bumping.

[@markhowell1495]

Presonally, it was 07. Im 18 but I started to listen in the 6th-7th grades. Songs like "throw some Ds.", "Int. players anthem", etc. were my welcoming of hip hop. Im glad to say my knowledge has grown since then. And I am now adept to multiple kids of hip hop: Mainstream, underground, old new.

[@David-cd6ez]

I first got into HipHop post 2000, I was about 5 yrs. old in 1st grade and remember listening to Chronic 2001 cassete, The Marshall Mathers LP, and some SPM.

[@2dahiphop]

I remember the first time I heard Gangstarr's "Mass Appeal" at my grandmother's house. THAT WAS IT FOR ME! I fell in Iove with Hip-Hop from that point on.

[@edgelitafans1]

Radio got me into hip-hop. First rap artist I ever heard was Nelly and that was in 2000, I believe, when his Country Grammar came out or before, don't remember the exact month I first heard him. I was a gigantic NSYNC fan in the mid-late 90's when I was 7, 8, etc, then all of a sudden, a station that I did listen to played a Nelly song and I loved it. Forgot which one. Obviously had to be one if his hits at that time. So, then I just got into rap, started listening to hip-hop radio stations, bought a Rhapsody subscription to buy rap songs. I loved it. Then the first ever rap album that I bought was Nelly's 'Nellyville' on cassette. What a glorious time in my life.

[@willstaywinning]

this video is making memories flood back to me. I remember getting home from school turning on rapcity hoping to catch outkast rosa parks video. I also remember my cousin giving me busta rhymes dangerous single on cassette. I played that shit til it wouldn't work no more.

[@Ballininhd]

Myke "They've must've been white" man that had me creasing.

[@TheZoostudio13]

I got into Hip Hop pretty late for a black kid, I must of been like around 15 or so. But it was like Lupe Fiasco and Mos Def, Talib, and a bunch of underground stuff. In fact my old band name was Danger Mouse, but at the time we had no idea about the producer. ha

[@dstxb]

Man, growing up in Texas in the mid to late 90s, what got me into rap was the huge underground movement we had down here. The first rap album I thought was super dope was Chamillionaire & Paul Wall's Get Ur Mind Correct. I would hear the popular songs in hip hop on the radio of course, but in most cases by the time I heard it on the radio, I've already heard Chamillionaire or Slim Thug crash that beat on a Swisha House mixtape or something. As I got older mainstream hip hop start to appeal more to me. So from a kid to 2004 hip hop, to me, was Texas underground and the popular artists on the radio. That all changed the next year when I stumbled upon The Minstrel Show by Little Brother. That shit changed my musical life! Lol. That introduced me to a side of hip hop I've never heard before and it blew me away. Minstrel Show is definitely in my top 5.

[@MrrAlex135]

'... that's titty' man ya'll got me weak lmao

[@elsteezus]

probably the best ask@dehh ep yet, at least for me really brought back a lot of memories

[@jgip64]

Around 1994 or so. I was born in 1991 so my older brother and cousins would play Bone Thugs N Harmony, 2pac, Warren G, etc. I even remember seeing Snoop Dogg's videos from his debut album and guys like Coolio and Biggie. From that point on, I became a fan of rap and became really interested in groups like the Ruff Ryders, Cash Money, D12, etc. The first rap album I ever owned was 2pac's greatest hits (1998) but Bone Thugs and 2pac really drew me into hip hop culture. Can't forget about Kriss Kross either. My parents bought the Kriss Kross hoody that I used to wear during my pre-school years lol.

[@lilfoenem8511]

I got into hip hop in 2011. The first songs I heard were Kendrick Lamar - ADHD, Lupe Fiasco - The Show Goes On, Jay-Z - Hard Knock Life, Eminem - Marshall Mathers, 50 Cent - Many Men Wish Death Upon Me, Tyler The Creator - Yonkers, Nas - Hip Hop Is Dead, Wu-Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M, A Tribe Called Quest - Scenario and De La Soul - Me, Myself, I

[@KNN130695]

Ice Cube (War & Peace Part 2), Dr. Dre (2001), 2Pac (Changes single), Will Smith (Wild Wild West) and Coolio (Gangster's Paradise single) was my childhood...

[@ELMatadiablos]

Grew up in Santa Ana , CA & around 96 my older cousins would bump Pac, Dre, Cube & Snoop. Doggystyle & The Chronic were a constant loop

[@FarFigSchitter]

its crazy, growing up hip hop was always part of the main stream to me, but these guys watched it evolve into what i had to listen to. Never really thought about how relatively new hip hop is as a genre.

[@dusksatanofinsomnia]

My Uncle played "My Name is" off of The Slim Shady LP he bought. This was 1999 and I was like 3 years old. I remember for some reason just being in love with this Song.. I think it was Em`s high pitched voice that sold it for me lol My Uncle gave me the Album and I obsessed over it. I even remember me and my Mom walking into the Record Store hand in hand buying The Marshall Mathers LP. I don`t really listen to Rap anymore but Eminem, Wu-Tang, Redman, Nas, Big L etc. still are awesome to me and I listen to them every once in awhile.

[@LonghornDynasty]

lil wayne go dj was the song that got me into hip hop

[@LolaBunnay]

From what I can remember, I was introduced to hip hop back in grade school with the 69 Boyz and Tag Team... the "Whoop" was pretty big in Jax, FL. And I also remember being on Luke, Wreckx n Effect, Salt n Peppa... then far left was Mack 10 and random ass 10 KANS.

[@rocket141]

I was around hip hop since I was a child listening Nas you can't hate me now, biggie hypnotize, and Jay-Z big pimpin but what really got me focused on hip hop is when I brought my first hip hop CD which was get rich or die trying by 50 cent. Classic CD by the way.

[@Armando316]

Like Beezy, Big Daddy Kane's "Ain't No Half Stepping" was the first song I can vividly remember and I was just hooked from then.

[@AG-uj1cp]

Lupe Fiasco Food and Liquor when I was in middle school, but I became a full blown hip hop head when I found DOOM. Started with the backpacker shit and then diversified into the classics and guys today.

[@chris.hartliss]

I love your story. It mirrors mine almost exactly.

[@ves138]

Damn starting with DOOM is crazy. I just found him after listening to hip hop for 3 years

[@chris45627]

For me the songs/albums ,etc are 1) BlackStar - Thieves in The Night' 2) Talib Kweli ft Saigon - Slap Niggas. 3) Dr Dre - The Next Episode 4) Canibus - Freestyles 5)Video Game Soundtracks like GTA San Andrea's Soundtrack and Tony Hawk put me on to Old School/Underground Hip Hop. 6) The Boondocks put me on to MF Doom at a young age. By The time i got out of middle school i was a full blown "Back Packer"

[@markhowell1495]

Im hip to the CD player and walkmans. Back in the day I used to have only cassette players. And then I found out that CDs would transition form to song to song it blew my mind.

[@thefuture420]

E 1999 Eternal for me. Played the hell out of that on tape

[@brian3ellis]

Good stuff. I'm hella young but it's really interesting to watch vids like these. Teaches you a lot.

[@shrubs5098]

Late Reg was the first hip hop album I got into and is still my favorite album of all time but I fully began to become a hip hop head when I was about 8-9 years old when my uncle showed me Ready To Die at a family barbecue

[@JayT-wx5nk]

I got into hip hop when my cousin played some Chamillionaire back in 02-03 lol ended up listening to many other artists eventually overtime like Nas, Luda, Talib Kweli, Kanye etc.

[@BlackDynamite1983]

LL Cool J's "Mama said Knock You Out" was the track that tuned me into a hip hop head.

[@vincentwilliams5271]

I fell in love with Hiphop as soon as I heard Rappers Delight on the radio.

[@iamrisko]

I got into hip-hop thru my older brother..he would have tapes like warren g > g funk era, snoop > doggystyle, ice cube > predator from the west...from the east like epmd, redman, lords of the underground etc....he didn't want me messing round his stuff so when he was at school or out I would listen....i was 8,9 yrs old...been in luv since......

[@wallcity318]

I was dying when they were talkin bout the tapes decks, that shit was so tru

[@youngsinatra6029]

My first album I listened to was good kid maad city when I was 11, picked a pretty good one

[@vjett101]

1992-93. The Chronic and Doggystyle got me into hip-hop. Snoop's What's My Name was the first rap song I liked. Nas' It Was Written was my first hip-hop cassette. That came a few years later. Than I started rapping in 2003-5 and became a hip-hop addict. Built up a crazy collection and now I'm into all kinds of things. I still rap as well. You can check out my mixtape on DatPiff just search Vinny Jett. Anyway, but yeah I still love hip-hop. My fav of all time is 2pac and new favorite is prob Drake. I also like underground joints like Killer Mike and El P and Danny Brown. Top five list is as follows 1-2pac 2-Prodigy 3-Cam'ron 4-Eminem 5-50 Cent/Biggie

[@yeahhhboiii16]

I like your story, I'm definitely going to go check out your mixtape!

[@coolnesss16]

My earliest memories of Hip-Hop are watching 2Pac and Biggies music videos I remember California Love and Hypnotize videos vividly I'm 21 now so I was around 4 or 5 then. I really got into hip-hop though when Eminem,DMX, Outcast, Nelly etc were blowing up around the late 90's early 00's especially Eminem they played that stuff to death. Everybody had them in the CD player back then. I remember kids taking the CD's and CD players to school with a pack of batteries..can't believe we did that back then good thing Ipods came..

[@MrGNugget]

I always was in and out of hip hop growing up I was more of an R&B guy, but I totally got into it when I heard "Forever" by Drake, Kanye West, Eminem, and Lil Wayne in middle school. I looked up the best hip hop albums of all time and fell in love for life after hearing Ready To Die.

[@iSaintChristiano]

Im 30 and Bone Thugs n Harmony is what really got me into music

[@anomalus625]

same here. im 28. that east 1999 eternal album was the first cd i ever bought. that was bout 20 years ago.

[@Armando316]

uncleallo Yeah that album was crazy. One of the most imitated rap groups of all time. Even TODAY, Migos try to do what Bone did, and all these rappers that sing and rap got that shit from Bone.

[@pHiLKizer]

It all started for me at age 6 when we moved back to the states from Germany. My older brother started playing a lot of this new music called hip hop and I was hooked instantly. The first artists I can think of listening to were Mantronix and UTFO.

[@TheMasterOE]

I first was exposed to hip hop like in 2004/05. The first rappers I listened to was, like; Tupac, Eminem, and Kanye West

[@SneakyButhole]

I'm with Sophie, i was listening to those quick verses from Mike Shinoda on Linkin Park tracks. Fort Minor was cool then too.

[@Bartholomule01]

I was goin' to high school from about '07-2010 and it wasn't until I was in high school that I really started to get into Hip-Hop. Then I was a big Serj Tankian fan (and still am) so I was listening to System of a Down but also looking out for side projects he was doing. He was on this one project called the "Axis of Justice Concert Series" that had a bunch of cuts from live moments from the series of Serj and a lot of other artists. There were two live cuts from Jurassic 5 on there and I was really, really drawn to them. I come to find out later that my friend and drummer Andy actually had their 2002 album "Power in Numbers" at the time. I went over to his house and listened to that and that eventually became the first Hip-Hop album I was ever fully into. I've just been developing my taste in Hip-Hop ever since.

[@1JayTheJet]

It was when I was 6 years old 1985 I think... Beatstreet and been in love every since

[@kalman703]

I'm 17 years old now, and for the first 10 years or so of my life I never paid rap music any attention, and was much more into alt. rock. Then when I was 10 Tha Carter III came out. changed everything lol

[@DigiFrat]

2:40 Dat Smirk! Dat Cosby sweater smirk

[@zambieyt4532]

My first introduction to hip hop was my dad playing me the Beastie Boys and then A Tribe Called Quest and Jurassic 5. Then recently I've been exploring hip hop and my current favorite artist is Chance the Rapper.

[@TheSnoozeFox]

Like water for chocolate was the first album that properly got me into hip hop, I did buy black sunday a few years earlier but didn't really get into it until I started smoking lol

[@iceberggip9049]

Hits from the bong do do do do lmaooooo

[@willstaywinning]

i got introduced to hiphop as a lil kid in the late 90s. I remember wanting to hurry up and get home from school so I could see the latest busta rhymes or outkast video. sigh...pre youtube days.

[@chris45627]

Im 17 i was born 96. i got into really into Hip Hop in 2004 - 2005 before that i was listening to 50 cent, Em, Snoop,Jay -Z and alot of Reggaeton . but about in 05 i got my 1st Ipod and i started downloading music on a program called Bearshare. Somehow i discovered Talib Kweli and He became my First Fav Rapper. and around this time he was in Marc Ecko Getting Up Game. The Games Soundtrack introduced me to Rakim , Mobb Deep, Pharoahe Monch , Pack Fm. I could go on forever about 2004 - 2007

[@GodlessG0D]

My earliest memory of Hip-Hop was playing The Fat Boys Are Back on my Fisher Price Tape/Mic combo when I was like 6 years old.

[@EZ95]

The radio is where I got all my music from so I remember the Luniz - I got 5 on it playing on the radio, saw my cousins bring stuff around with mtv and etc then when i got to i heard a NWA compliation cd and that really got me into hip hop

[@creative_soul-recolo]

The facscination for Hip Hop came from a love of jazz and contemporary african pop and the disco era of phenomenon such as Brenda Fassie which brought the funk and the groove for our KWAITO RHYTHMS was the backbone of how my love for boom bap beats were ingrained in me and it pretty much became the zeitgeist of Urban Black Culture. FOLK MUSIC"

[@skylerb97]

My oldest memory of hip hop that I remember fondly is hearing Hey Ya go of on my moms phone at a Boy Scout meeting

[@203_Boy]

Started when i was about 10, or 11, Mos Def, Raekwon, Wu Tang etc. real dope stuff

[@Lux9103]

Such a good review, Just wat i expected from Deadendhiphop

[@twood12301]

my introduction was through KZbinrs todd in the shadows and rap critic(when they were still on blip). But I didn't truly get into it until I heard because the internet by Childish Gambino. The beats just sounded so other worldly and amazing. after that I heard to pimp a butterfly, and ever since then I've been addicted.

[@yugang08]

For me, i got into hip hop, around 6 cause my parents played hip hop (among other kinds of music) around me growing up. The first hip hop song i remember liking was probably ll cool j's mama said knock you out, and from then on, the rest is history as they say.

[@mitchpassingham9976]

I'd say I always listened to it over anything else but wasn't full into it and then when I was 8 my older cousin brought 50's massacre and em's curtain call and started getting more of a feel of it and then Gta San Andreas with radio Los santos and playback fm showed me the 90's and some classics from the originators then I started burning CDs like crazy then b-boy the game came out and that's when I understood the elements and what made the difference between rap and hip hop. I'll Never forget just driving around for hours listen to radios Los santos just to hear mc eiht or eazy or trying to learn how to break from crazy legs in b-boy. Fuck I love hip hop 🔥 peace to HHDE!

[@Curling_Rack]

the first rap songs i heard was ATCQ's First Album, Naughty By Nature's OPP, MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, De La Soul's "Breakadawn". Discovered dancehall at the same time when i heard Shabba's "Twice My Age", In Living Color, B-Boy and Dj Battles as i got older i had to dig back for the mid to late 80s stuff

[@trextyrone1]

Im 20 now and Ive been around hiphop for a mimute now but what really got me into it was when 50 cent and g unit came out. Id always make cassete tape mixes cause the tapes were dirt cheap in early 2000's. Then I got a cd player and that thing was hella sensitive, I remember walking to school holding my cd player hella straight, and the batteries were a pain too I'd take batteries from remotes, toys just anything lol, thats my experience.

[@TopFlightSecurity415]

im 22 years old born 91 i heard hip hop since i was around 6 and 7 an i remember my dad playin the famous sugar hill gang record and i liked it a lot but i wasn't completely into jus yet, .. what really got me into it was music videos from ludacris, nas, missy elliot, tech 9,e-40 eminem , busta rhymes and dmx lol then i got into some nu mental and rock ( limp bizkit,linkin park, POD ect.) so i basically got into round 97-2001... all thanks to my older brother though, if he didnt have rap on full blast i would of never got into hip hop at a early age

[@AnanziDaDon]

I'm 16, I was first introduced to Hip hop by just listening to the radio and then I kept exploring and yeah...

[@deezybears]

A great Convo or Ask video would be a continuation of this. Just talking about each generation of music consumption and what you liked and didn't like about it.

[@EnRitch]

It's amazing seeing the bridging of gap of the different age groups/generations' first taste of hip-hop. This generation's is probably Wayne albums etc. Mine were Ice Cube "Check Yourself" and Geto Boys' Mind Playing tricks on me.

[@njakasqakarell16]

I'm only 21 ; battle rap & pure street music was when I got into hip-hop ; I used to watch rap battles & even listen to some people from the streets go mainstream & from there I search & study rappers that was in the industry

[@mohammadal-qudah179]

I was born in 1997 and I lived the days of a CD player because I live in a third world country (oh well). When I was thirteen, I had only pop hits and girly music e.g. Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Nicki Minaj but then my friend gave me Cold World: The Sideline Story and I had no problem and I knew that I would've hated the record because it was hip hop but surprisingly I liked it and started to ask my friend for other albums he had and he gave masterpieces like The College Dropout. Afterwards, I started to buy hip hop albums like Born Sinner and good kid, m.A.A.d city. I deleted most of old girly library and moved on to alternative and hip hop, I still have Lady Gaga tho.

[@Joela393]

This is really embarrassing... I mean katty Perry, really my dude?

[@mohammadal-qudah179]

it was what is being played on the radios at that moment, I didn't care to what I listened to back the but yeah it's embarrassing

[@jensenwolfe5105]

Don't feel like that female artists music is for girls ok don't be afraid to be u like I am 16 and I am in love with Nicki Minaj and I set the word out and I'm not embarrassed don't let someone choose who u like, listen to who u like always be who u r never be who you are not

[@FarFigSchitter]

lol vid shoulda been titled "DEHH gets nostalgic af" damn good convo tho

[@jsun7972]

the first song that got me hooked on hip hop was Slick Rick "Children's Story"

[@SleepFan771]

Some friends played Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) for me. Hooked ever since.

[@En4cer2K9]

I first started listening to the radio in 1995, but we only had 1 radio station in Sacramento that played mostly R&B and pop (102.5). It wasn't till like 1999 where we finally got a real hip hop station (103.5) that I started getting exposed to hip hop. Eminem, DMX, Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, Snoop and Dre, Xzibit, Tha Eastsidaz, Warren G, posthumous Pac and Biggie, Big Pun, Fat Joe, Cash Money, Bad Boy, Nelly, D12, 50 Cent and G-Unit, T.I., Kanye West... There was so much good music around the first half of the 2000's. Even the R&B was cool. My "golden" years. Then Hyphy and Snap Your Fingers music took over. Radio airplay went to hell ever since...

[@Sagefrakrobatik]

I got my introduction to hip hop through MTV PARTY to GO cassette tapes, but No Way Out was the first albumn I heard

[@JuanJimenez-dc2uv]

I started getting into Hip Hop when I first heard Kanye's 'Stronger' when I was like 9, so I started listening to a lot of his other popular songs and I eventually started listening to his full albums, those led me to guys like Jay-Z and Pusha T and Kid Cudi, but I was usually listening to it for fun, I think it was when I listened to Nas's Illmatic and Kendrick's To Pimp A Butterfly that I kinda saw the genius of hip hop and so it was Kanye, Nas and Kendrick that got me into hip hop

[@lila824]

Lupe Fiasco Food & Liquor got me into hip-hop

[@SinisterShots14]

"that wooka bookah stuff" lmfaooo Myke!!

[@waseemjaas7757]

my introduction to hip hop like the first hip hop song i loved was cleaning out my closet by eminem but what really got me into hip hop and made start to pay attention was 2pac's hit em up and my first album as a whole was the eminem show

[@miljanovicjovic]

I'm a very recent fan, this year to be exact, so I actually got into Kendrick Lamar and DEATH GRIPS first. Then I tried to dive into all the music, underground or popular.

[@ilovecody7514]

My first intros were Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star, Eminem, Wu-tang (Mostly O.D.B, Method man, and Ghost-face.), del the funky homosapien, Blu, and outcast.

[@orlandogastelum1539]

[@ilovecody7514]

Cool brother.

[@KLegyyn]

I'm probably the weirdest nigga ever on how I got into hip-hop. . I was a hater in the beginning because I grew up in the very late 90s and straight 2000s, so that commercial shit was not for me. . It took, and I shit you not, Samurai Champloo to get into hip-hop. . Nujabes to Shing-02 to J Dilla to CL Smooth to Pete Rock. . Then it was Aqua Teen Hunger Force that got me into Flying Lotus, Boondocks got me into Asheru, FlyLo to Kendrick Lamar, my mans put up a song from Ice Cube. . K.Dot and Ice Cube led to Dr. Dre, and that was a wrap because that opened doors to many rappers and producers. . .

[@AadilM]

It's strange, I used to be into Metal and Rock because my friend introduced me to it. He then told me that the only Hip Hop he liked was the Beastie Boys (Due to their Rock roots) and after I'd heard that I was convinced

[@josemexable]

Fell in love with Hip Hop when I found out what NWA stood for when I was like 12.

[@3dakainsane]

Being born in 95, hip hop was never not a thing for me. So whenever we were in the car I would hear and be exposed to hip hop. I remember hearing stuff like Lauryn Hills "Doo Woo", 2pacs "Changes", Eminem was blowing up at around that time too. I even remember Dead Prezs "Hip-Hop" was getting play, which looking back is kind of surprising.

[@Alex4Nets]

Can't wait for the mastermind review

[@crackswareg135]

I was 10 when I was introduced to Asian rappers (traphik, d pryde, j Reyez), started listening to more hip hop in when Rolling Papers by Wiz Khalifa came out, then got into Eminem then Biggie, Pac, Dre, DOOM, NWA, WU Tang, Kendrick, etc

[@rosefaceFGC]

Lol I sorta have 2 introductions into Hip-Hop. Hollywood Undead's "Undead" got me into music and lyrics but Tech N9ne's "Red Nose" got me into Hip hop when it comes to flow and writing

[@88smoothcriminal]

'88 I was born into it,'89 my pops say I was rocking with the mini high top,shit by '93 snoop,pac and biggie

[@CloudTribe]

I'm a 90's baby so i heard eminem, ludacris, dmx, and outkast probolly the most at first then kanye and 50 came round and since then it's been like cudi, drake, j.cole kendrick lamar. I'm excited for who does it next for me.
