Who'd you grow up listening to?

Untold · 07-03-2013, 07:22 PM

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.

~RustyGunZ~ · 07-04-2013, 12:37 AM

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

oats · 07-04-2013, 01:10 AM

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.
