I remember when I was younger and I first heard hip-hop come out of some speakers. I was hypnotized. I can't really explain it. It took over my soul and I wanted more.
This was the time I use to be out in the streets being a bad boy before Biggie Smalls. Hanging on the corners, up to no good. I thought I was tough and a ladies man. Wrong! LOL! If it wasn't for Hip-Hop being on the radio at night, I'm not sure where I would be. Jail or dead.
I would record at night when rap would come on. If anyone knows the radio stations that saved my life in NYC, comment below. I recorded on what they call cassette tapes and a boom box. Look them up KIDS. My friends at the time use to get mad at me for missing all the night time action.
I'm glad for Hip-Hop. It saved my life. Many of my friends either were killed, locked up or injured pretty badly for trying to be a gangsta. My path changed, thanks to legends like EPMD, L.L. Cool J, Fat Boys, Salt and Pepa, MC Lyte, Public Enemy, KRS-ONE, De La Soul, Slick Rick, Dougie Fresh, Nas, Jay-Z, Biz Markie, Rakim (Read his book), Run DMC, Whoodini, Grandmaster Flash, DJ Kool Herc, Sugar Hill Gang and more.
Thank you pioneers of Hip-Hop. I love and respect your journey's. It's making my journey pleasant, happy and enjoyable.
I'll be reviewing albums, talking about the evolution of Hip-Hop and everything in between. Please support, share my post and leave good comments. Thanks in advance.
