Who'd you grow up listening to?
 

It's definitely a combination of some weird ass rock and rap mash ups. Which eventually led to bands like the Smashinh Pumpkins, RHCP, Snoop Doggy Dog, 2Pac and 311... Around this time I also discovered Allanis Morsette. Jagged Little Pill rocked!

Then came the influence... It was the early sounds of the old No Limit records albums. Master P's first major album, Ghetto D, was Allah in my eyes. It represented everything New Orleans and was grimeyyyy. Then came Silk the Shocker, Mystikal, Feind, Big Ed the Assassin, Mr. Servon, Mia X, etc... The list could go on.

Then came the Cash Money records movement. For me, it started with Big Tymers first big release.. How You Luv That Vol. 2! Then Juvenile's 400 Degreez, Lil Wayne's Tha Block is Hot, B.G.'s Chpper City, etc... These albums were like groundbreaking to me. And all these cats were in my backyard at the time!

Just curious, what everyone else's main listens were when they were young. I still have some of these old CD's and will buy them if I find good copy's in good condition.

Im still growing up soooo

then when got a hand of my own radio
pop music and radio rap (not proud of)

now 90s hip hop and underground except k lamar, black hippy and asap

tbh grew up listening to a lot of classic rock, once i got into hip hop, mostly tupac/dmx/wutang/em

..once i got into underground shit atmosphere and the rhymesayers/anticon movement took over everything that inhabited my headphones.

OutKast, Nas, Talib Kweli, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Eagles.

Firehouse and then I bump the mos def/kweli joints

Lots of RHCP fans in here.. Always a favorite.

I also loved Weird Al Yankovic.

Sublime, green day (dookie days), weezer, blink182, rhcp, nirvana, Alice in chains, Metallica, offspring, limp bizkit, staind

Jayz can I get a was probly the first rap song that caugt my attention. Or maybe it was kid rocks bawitaba. Then Ghetto superstar w Mya. Either way it sent me on a rap craving tangent. I discovered biggie, 2pac, eminem, bone thugs, three 6 mafia, tribe called quest,

Tupac, The Roots, Mobb Deep, Beanie Sigel, Cannibal Ox, Big L, A Tribe Called Quest, Aesop Rock, Massive Attack, etc

what age are we talking

young it'd be "classic" rock mostly

also had an older sister during the boy band days so that was unfortunate to have to hear on a daily basis

got into hiphop around 3rd grade with nas and em, discovered underground in middle school

now a combo of that and 90s rap is 70% of my library, the rest is reggae and various types of rock

Mostly Hawaiian and reggae, but lots of Blink 182, Sublime and James Taylor/Beatles (moms was always playing those two around the house). Then I got really into Tupac and Eminem. Didn't start getting into east coast golden era hip hop till high school.
