Can You Remember The First Rap Joint You Liked As A Little Kid Growing Up?

I remember the song Rappers Delight. I remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard it. I remember who was playing it. Mostly soul was played in my house as a kid and that song just rewrote my DNA!!! A kid in a Detroit suburb hearing that song for the first time is a monumental moment in my life
My earliest memory if hip hop is double dutch bus by frankie smith if you consider that rap. Then sugar hill gangs kimosabe(tonto jam on it) was getting radio play and was often heard at family get together. Ya mama by wuf ticket was an early favorite of mine and was getting heavy rotation on the radio when I was five years old
Prolly Sugar Hill "Rapper's Delight", but was it called RAP back then or was it Hip Hop featuring rappers/MCs?
IO can remember my Dad on afternoon picking me up from school and he was listening to the radio, and the only part of the track that he registered had him rapping "^ minutes Dougy Fresh",,, on beat!

one of the first records I bought
I was born in ‘84. I grew up around white people in a trailer park. I listened to mostly alternative music between 1990 and 1995. I knew of rap but mostly commerical shit.
My brother went off to basic training, so I started snooping around his room. He had a stack of CDs and one in particular stood out to me.
I’m like “what the fuck is a Mobb Deep?” Well, I popped into the CD player and the first track “The Start of Your Ending” changed my life forever. Mobb Deep instantly became my favorite hip-hop group and thus I began my journey of study and exploring all the hip-hop I missed. Thanks to my wife and best friend from college, they introduced me to so much more.

Rapper's Delight..., my sister had the record and the album cover was red.
No disrespect, but Top Billin' may have been popular where you're from or NYC but it really wasn't all that. The song came out in 87 and sounded like an 85 rap song. No one I knew back then was bumping it.
Where are you from?
North Carolina. Maybe I just missed this song, I went into the military right after it came out and didn't really listen to the radio for months.
