I was listening to it a little when i was young but not really that much, because we didnt have any cable, so no music channels. I was listenin to the Jock Jams CDs, and we had some others, like public enemy and NWA, and will smithm but i never got into it hard til 2000. Im 18 at the moment. Now im obsessed with it, lol im listening to slum village’s first album rite now, its funny how i went from Jock Jams to Underground for my stuff. Everyone starts somewhere, whether its from Jay-z or eminem, or lil’ Jon lol
