reminds me of this

this is explained perfect. i was never introduced to hiphop. it was always just THERE. now i can remember albums that changed my life. that’s easy

this is a solid answer 💯 I am black, hip-hop is me

Every interview I see of him makes me more of a fan and I’ve never heard one verse he’s written

Yea I always felt like this question would be better fit for post Malone, G-Eazy, lil dicky

He makes a good point for us

Feel like when you “fall in love with hip hop” is different from when you were introduced to it or gave it a little more attention than the minimum

I feel what he saying it’s always been there. But the first time I REALIZED I am hip hop was when I used to break & I heard Don’t Sweat The Technique, Know The Ledge, & I Ain’t No Joke in a cypher. Felt my frontal lobe develop

Never considered it that way. Real though because some of my earliest memories overall are hearing classic songs for the first time

I’ve never heard a single song of his but he’s actually the funniest guy 😂

its so crazy when i meet ppl who didnt start listening to rap till like college im like how

Aye bruh I'm African so my experience with hip hop is very different from average African American's experience with hip hop

When Joey Badass and Captial Steez rapped Killuminati 🔥 i was like 13 or something

Nah I disagree, the moment that got me is listening to Watch My Shoes by Lil Wayne the summer of 07. Joint hit different, that was the first rap song I WANTED to learn word for word rather than just hearing it all the time passively

Hey nigga this is hip hop 🤣

Vince always got a fan in me 🫡

This nigga so well spoken, articulate and hilarious at the same time.

That was a question for a white person or other races who dont live where hip hop just existed all around them there whole lives as a kid to a full blown adult !

Damn this is so real bc ima white dude from a hick ass town. Idr how but I was gifted tapes of b2m, new edition, n all 4 one. Loved em all. First real rap song i fw was Coolio 1234. Bought the tape. Dad broke it in half. I was a rebel, so was hip-hop 4L after that.

Hip hop is my earliest memory

I remember being super young and seeing an interesting and vibrantly colored CD case on the floor in my mom’s bedroom. It was the “Above the Rim” soundtrack. Hip hop been in my life ever since.

Nigga in the back bout to fall asleep haha

We always lived w it so we ain’t have to learn about it

If I had to choose it’d be hearing my dad play The Carter 4

💯💯💯💯

Real shit though. It was always there and then once you got old enough you started seeking out different types of artists and other shit. Earliest memory i have is hearing Hard Knock Life on the radio lol.

That only applies to black folks who grew up in hood environments. And black people who grew up in non-hood environments are not any less Black

FACTS

I agree with this take this shit something I breathe it’s like my heart and lungs

i guess that’s why they hate the fact that a lightskin dude is the best at it 🤣🤣

That’s cool and all but yeah I fell in love with hip hop tryna memorize the Harlem world album. Mase lyrics were just too cold I had to understand the word play and that opened a whole new world for me.

Im very grateful my father played lots of funk motown and jazz in the house as early as i can remember. Its deff molded how i listen to music.

Did he just call charcuterie stupid white ppl shit

I feel this way about LeBron

He’s a tether

If u can’t answer then you don’t really love HIP HOP
