I was blessed: Midnight Marauders (ATCQ) was the first record I ever bought. What a way to start. I was given a Nas: Illmatic tape by a relative in NYC, months before it even dropped. That was the first hip hop joint that I fell in love with though. It was a good time for music, the golden years, b/c after that I bought BIG (Ready 2 Die) and Wu (Enter the 36). So at one point my entire music collection consisted of possibly the 4 greatest, most ground breaking, most influential records hip hop as have seen. How pure is that for a collection?
