i was 8 years old, it was 1985, i'd saved some pocket money and went into the independent record shop in town with my mum and bought this as i was into electro thanks to 'Rockit' ... OK OK so its electro, but

still got it and it plays fine

I was 8 too and it was Eminem - The Slim Shady, well I had to get my bro to buy it for me haha

some funny tracks on that, the Amityville and drugs ones seem to come to mind
my lil' brother gave me his copy when he went all indie-guitar-mad

First hip-hop cassette I paid was Nas-If I Ruled The World single; first hip-hop CD was "And In This Corner.." by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, and my first bit of wax, I think, was Common's 1-9-9-9 featuring Sadat X.

CD wise it was probably Public Enemy It Takes a Nation of Millions & NWA Straight Outta Compton....when i got my 1210s it was 2 x Group Home Supa Star and Ill Al Skratch-Creep it Me LP.

When i was around 6-7 i got a Rockit 7" after collecting tokens from Rice Crispie packets.

tribe called quest 'midnite marauders'

good breeding fox!

....mine was body count - home invasion or body count

ive got a feeling it was lootpack - soundpieces (da antidote)

i received a tape of "Whoomp, There It Is!" complete with a capella and instrumental.

first one i bought (before getting into hip hop) was, Nelly's "Country Grammar". back in whatever year that came out.

my tastes have greatly improved since then if i do say so myself, lol

What started it all for me was Eazy-E on cassette:



Didn't get full on into hip-hop until I started buying CD's though and got these:

My dad took me to HMV when I was ten and bought me this for my birthday. He didn't look too impressed...

that is an absolute belter

I... Leeched off of my dad's collection for most of my life.

First remotely Hip-Hop record I ever purchased with my own money was Wiley - Treddin On Thin Ice.

I cannot tell a lie...

it was this

if mobb was the first hiphop i bought i would still be listening tbh, probably wouldnt even take a break
