My Music........pt.2

Picking right up from the previous post, i have an older brother who is about 10 years older than me. So around 1988 or so i can remember the first time i heard my brother play this record called "The Show" by Doug E. Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew ft. Mc Rickie D aka Slick Rick. I remember being around 8 or 9, and even then i loved what i heard, but i couldn't tell you why. My brother had classic taste when it came to rap. I'm talking The Real Roxanne, Doug E. Fresh, Dana Dane, Biz Markie, Marley Marl, Run DMC, LL COOl J, etc..... But the moment that rap really made an impact on me is when one of my friends brought N.W.A Straight Out Compton over my house and we listened to it, and the things that they were rapping about wasn't necessarily how it was where i lived, but i loved it! At one point and time had the whole thing memorized. I've been addicted every since. I found as i got older the music that my parents listened to resurfaced, because there became a period in rap were sampling was all the rave. So i would here old songs sampled that we had at the house. Even at the age of about 11 or 12 i had an appreciation for music that might have been a tad abnormal. And then............ when i was about 13 or so i began smoking pot(oh my god!!!) The music began to sound incredible!!!! I will never forget i had an older home boi who had a job and he got paid every tues, and every tues he would bring home pot and a new rap album every week! I vividly remember when he bought Wu-tang Enter the 36 chambers. He (my partner) rolled about 7 joints, popped the tape in, turned to a college basketball game, and it was on! The Cd sounded amazing. By the time i was 14 i had heard many of the classics Nas Illmatic, Enter the 36 Chambers, De La Soul, Reasonable Doubt, Black Moon, Epmd, Redman, K-Solo, Leaders of the New School, Outkast, etc..................... thats just to name a few, and that didn't include my own collection that mostly consisted of Kilo, Too Live Crew, Dj Magic Mike, Nemesis and so on.. This story and the one prior to this one serve as my music resume kinda.
