Album That Got You Into Hip-Hop?

Postby EminemBase » Dec 18th, '11, 02:36

I think for me it was The Slim Shady LP.

Though I remember hearing Dre, Snoop etc. around the same time too.

Actually no, it was The Marshall Mathers LP. I heard "My Name Is" when I was 9, but I didn't actually get The Slim Shady LP first. I heard 'MMLP' first, then went back and got 'SSLP'.

What was yours?

First song I heard was My Name Is cause my brother always used to play it. I just grew up around it cause someone was always playing some sort of hip-hop.I was really into Eminem first tho then got more interested in Hip hop as a whole.First album i bought was Eminem Show but then I lost it :(

My brother got a copy of Tupac's Greatest Hits and that first got me into, especially after I really liked "Changes" when it came out as a single. The one that really got me into it though was Chronic 2001.

I actually listened to The Marshall Mathers LP before The Slim Shady LP.

I have always been into Hip-Hop but the first album that was ever my favorite was probably either The Chronic or Death Certificate.

The Eminem Show.

Yeah, my oldest brother would constantly bump "My Name Is" & "The Real Slim Shady", but I didn't really start listening to Em (and hip-hop) until 8 Mile came out.

I was more in to rock music when I was younger.

Marshall Mathers LP, The Eminem Show, and Devil's Night. For a really long period back in '03, these were all that I listened to.

Wasn't really an album..More like a few songs that dropped when I was a kid.

The first track I listened to was Outkast- Ms. Jackson.
I liked the vibe of it..I think I still went for MMLP before that but I can't really remember.

Around 2000 basically anything that was charting I would of heard.
