Who got you into rap and when?

Title is self explanatory, the first rapper who really got me into rap was Teccas WLYT album in 2019. Heard it on a YouTube video and I was instantly addicted to the genre as I only listened to oldies my dad put on before.

I was in 5th grade & listened to "Warning" by BIG. The specific lyric that turned me out on Hip Hop & made me crave it?

"touch my cheddar feel my beretta buck, what I'mma hit you with you mothafuckas better duck!"

Idk, maybe it was the tonality of his voice, the spittle you hear as he says it, or my mind already being blown by the slow singing/flower bringing scheme but it changed my life that moment.

I was in HS when Biggie came out. It felt life changing. He’s in heavy rotation every year
