another philly cat here. i was born in 76 as well...anyways, my first taste of
hip hop was when my bro got me raising hell for christmas. i memorized that
tape like it was the bible. lived in the burbs but me and this one boh keon
smalls, he used to rap to son of byford while i beatboxed. i listened to
everything from then on, but we had alot, come to think about it, hearing hip
hop, due to YO Mtv Raps, Pump it UP, etc...Power 99 was the only station that
played hip hop at the time, then they had Q102 but they stopped playing hip hop
in 94? High school wise, Public Enemy was my shit. As I got older, I started
getting into the lyric aspect of it,listening to paid in full, criminal minded,
etc...I remember hearing alot of people sayin to me, u filipino but u know more
rap than so and so. i guess i was lucky since i was raised my first 7 yrs in
north philly. we also had a crew, BBP, Bad Boy Posse (hmmm, maybe i should sue
Sean Combs). I remember doing the worm all the time, and still can do it.
