.........in no particular order

Special Ed "Youngest in Charge"
NWA "100 Miles and Runnin"
Slick Rick "The Rulers Back"
Run DMC "Down with the King"
Jay-Z "Reasonable Doubt" (More recent but still inspiration to me)
LL Cool J "Radio"
DJ Magic Mike...any of his earlier releases (yes I got love for southern bass music)

...........the list could go on alot longer but you get the point

These are just some of the joints that I used to love back in the day

I really cant remember what inspired me to start cuz I always been involved wit Rap, I was in studios as an infant, beat boxing and freestyling when I got older

yes I said Rap cuz that was what it was called back then, in music stores it was the Rap section, but now its the "Hip Hop" section

I guess cuz there is less and less people actually Rapping now

Hmmm. I've been listening to Hip Hop since like the late 80's as a youngin' comming up but the album that made me love hip hop was Nas's Illmatic hads down the best cd i eva bought. I give mad props to everythuing befor that but it was that 93-96 era that made me LOVE Hip Hop

Afta that cd it Midnight Mauraders by Tribe called Quest and Common's Resurrection were equally essential to me I used to love H.E.R. was phenomenal as was Award Tour dem was the joints

Last was the Blackstar Album..... It was afta that cd i decied imma try to rhyme n make beats blah blah blah. thats truely a perfect cd..... word up listen to Respiration and Thieves In the Night flawless.

there many more but i think them my favs.

Also as for southern hip hop i dont think id would have even bothered if it wasn for Outkast them boys did it for real Atliens was the joint they opend my eyes to wat the south had to offa.

On the west DEFINATLEY the Chronic and Doggystyle

I am not saying these are the best Hip Hop albums, I am simply answering the question. These 3 albums defined MY love for Hip Hop. I love these albums. When I hear them, they make me feel Hip Hop inside and out.

1. A Tribe Called Quest - "Low End Theory"

2. Ice Cube - "Amerikkka's Most Wanted"

3. De La Soul - "De La Soul is Dead"
