[nas2000xl]

i was at the birth of hiphop, when the sugar hill gang blew up the airways with rappers delight, and which was actually 1979.

i have a question for all yall.

what was the name of the song/band that actually released the very first rap song, before hiphop itself was born?????

lol damn someof yall were listenin to hip hop before I wsa born lol. But I was like 6 or 7 when I first started listenin I didnt really get into it and start writing until after I picked up my first Pac cd.

 

[nobodyfamous]

i would say i was listening since the late 80's, early 90's..i was born in 82. one thing i remember very vividly was Dr. Dre, Ain't Nothin but a G Thang and Dre Day, i remember when that came out as if it was yesterday, i was about 9 or 10 then, i loved those songs, still do!

 

[Ominous]

The first song I memorized was Radio...LL Cool J...1985. Then there was stuff like Kool Moe Dee and Fat Boys but I don't really count those years. I pretty much listened to everything around with a good melody. I am more around 87 - 89. My first tape I owned was The Diabolical Biz Markie. Then I was hard into Das EFX, Special Ed, D.O.C., EMPD, etc...

I see no one had taken a stab at Nas's question. I'm curious....what was it...Sugar Hill?

 

[FuzE]

I was born into hip-hop. My first real memories of hip-hop are shit like the rapping duke, dougie fresh and slick rick "the show". Going to the skating rink in the early 80's wit my older cousins( they mad cuz my momma made them take me) and everybody jammin off of Planet Rock in the rink. When I was bout in the 1st or 2nd grade I remember ridin the school bus and everbody rappin the lyrics to Lodi Dodi all the way to school. Huhhhh I miss those days. But the first album i can actually say i listened to and really started forming my hip-hop mentallity is none other than one of the greatest of all time hands down.....
BY ALL MEANS NECESSARY B.D.P.!!!!

FRESH FOR 88' YOU SUCKAS!!!!

 

[Equality 7-2521]

[inrctyhoodmusic]

I can't even remember the first hip hop song I heard but I was definitly an earl music head The age where I remember remebering is 4 so I would have to say 80-83

 

[soundboy2]
