[NINO_eMCee]

[Double~Hitz]

the first rapper i listen to tupac but i didnt even tho rap music but eminem got me into rap

[NINO_eMCee]

but when. this year, previous or when?

[Double~Hitz]

back in 1999 but i had slim shady ep before that and i didnt even tho who it was or it was rap

[Dennen]

tha first album i had was the chronic(tha first one)

but i didnt get it untill about late 2000

but my first favourite artist was eminem (so i wanted to hear more from dre etc)

then i started listenin to people i heard featurin on their albums an so on

Yeah Me And Dennen Allways Had The Same Taste In Music

i remember when i read in a magazine that Pac was shot. so i had already been listennig to rap for one year. this mean that i'm fond of rap since 1995. but maybe EM made an impact on me too. a friend of mine introduced me to the rap. he's some year elder and he was given to me some kinda CD where there were some jay-z's tracks Biggy, ice cube, ll cool j maybe Pac and DRE. i can't remember if there was DMX. but he gave it to me and sayd: 'listen to it, that's the real music'. and from 1995 to today i listen only rap. and i'll go on like this.

I'm relatively new to it all, started about 4 years ago, was pretty interested in 2Pac's life and death and the mysteries behind it, i was pretty intrigued, did alotta research on him, including listenin to his raps, they were pretty addictive, so I gave rap a shot and liked it.

I admired the works of 2Pac, Easy-E, Snoop, Dre, Ice Cube, Mobb Deep, Jay-Z and Nas, lil bit from the west and east coast.

Maybe Pac's intriguing life is the main reason for him impact. and EM's acceptable style too. Cause most of us start either Pac or EM. i get angry when somebody says: 'EM's wack his style is fag etc.' but forgot that EM's who introduced him to rap. that's my point of view.

[Dennen]

i think em has gone pretty whack now

jus because someone got you into somethin doesnt mean they they cant go whack or maybe some people jus realise that once their into hip hop they hear more of a variety an realise what they were listenin to wasnt as good as they thaught

e.g i used to think that tha last meal was a good album an snoop was one of tha best rappers around at that time

[likewoah]

When I'm Gone , and Welcome To Detroit City was good, as well as Drama Setter, but though Eminem introduced people like 50 into the rap game, you gotta admit, "FACK" and My Band" Were pretty damn whacked up, and some others in his new album curtain call.

But Papoose was always whack "In a good way"

[Drastic]

First Rapper I Took after to start rapping was Jay-Z.

I cant remember the first person i heard.
