I was about 12 years old maybe younger when I really got into rap.
1. The Blueprint - Jay-Z
2. Jay-Z, I didn't really have any friends who listened to hip hop so I basically got
into hip hop all on my own through listening on NBA Live Soundtracks. In
The House by Jurassic 5 (NBA Live 06) was my first favorite song. I never looked into
any of J5's stuff after that. Soon after Jay-Z, I discovered Nas and that's when I
really started to get into stuff, looking up "Best rappers" lists on the internet. I also
found this site, which had a pretty decent community going, and got a lot of recs from it.
That's why I know the names of a lot of the older regs.
3. Stillmatic - Nas
4. I made lists of favorites before Yahoo...I like making lists...made my favorite
athletes lists, favorite video games...yeah
5. I'll do Jazz because I am still very secretive about my top 5 albums list (hip hop)
, Im working on a larger list so I want to keep my mind open,
been relistening to a lot of albums.
Herbie Hancock - Sextant
Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - Moanin'
Miles davis - Kind of Blue
Wayne Shorter - Speak no Evil
John Coltrane - Blue train
6. Aceyalone, One Be Lo, Rakim, Sage Francis, Pharoahe Monch
7. O.G. Loc, Cage Kennylz, Wirftgu, those are the guys I usually get recs from
8. Yeah
9. 4...that's how it is for me, and 4 is my favorite number
10. 9.89875/10
