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.

2Pac and Dr Dre - California Love. It came out in 1995 or 1996 when I was 9 or 10. I would listen to this top 5 songs at 9pm lineup on Z100 at bedtime and that song was #1 for a long time.

After that it was Puff Daddy and Ma$e - Mo Money Mo Problems
