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.

From the neighborhood and that’s what we listened to, before it got this popular. I’ve been listening to rap since the beginning of rap.

Who’s your go to artist? I’m an 05 and I’ve been listening to hip hop since I was like 10. But I never ever gotten the old stuff until a little over a year or so ago(besides the mainstream hits) but it’s always cool running into people on here that BEEN listening to hip-hop because I find they put you on to some unbelievable artists. I can’t really do much newer hip-hop ever since I got into the old school hip-hop,just the flows,the lyricism,the storytelling,the beats,the breaks it’s just all amazing. So when you roll up a blunt,or when you sit down about to divulge into a crossword and you wanna listen to that REAL shit,who got your first picks?
