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

I was in 3rd grade and I was walking to school. Passing one of the neighbors house I heard the words coming out of a radio on his porch saying "Don't quote me boy cause I ain't said shit."

I had to know who that voice was cussing on tape cause I had never heard that on radio. Had to beg my uncle to buy me and my brother tapes that had Parental Advisory on em and shit. But it was up until that point I wasn't really into music at all until I heard Eazy-E cuss on the radio.
 
Love Hip-Hop as soon as I heard it. We were living in Dayton, OH at the time. Central State university use to play a rap mix from 11pm to 6am Friday nights. I took one of my mother's "church tapes" and stuffed the paper in the notches to record, while I slept. I woke up to:



Any life I lived before that was disqualified. I was born on THIS day.
 
Shidd!! Rappers Delight. I was around 12 and my sister was going to Howard and sent me the 12". Had that shit memorized word for word by bedtime

Duhhhh!!! What else? I was about the same age and my cousins were visiting Texas from L.A. and started singing it to me while fishing at a pond with my mom. It hit Houston soon after.
