These are the first albums I owned, actually me and my brother shared them. I don't remember which one we got first.

In retrospect that shit was wack.

It was wack. I remember they had a couple of songs that were dope, including The Message, so we copped that album, along with The Wildstyle soundtrack with our Christmas money.

That Grandmaster Flash album was just like the Sugarhill Gang and Kurtis Blow albums. They were produced like R&B records and had ballads. As it turned out the record label execs didn't think anybody wanted to hear an album with rapping all the way throughout. Then Russell Simmons came around and made a fool of those record label execs.

I'm one of the few people on the IC that can remember what rap was like on Day 1.

Props...do you think this is the worst era of hip-hop?

I'd rather listen to Kurtis Blow, Sugarhill Gang and Grandmaster Flash than 9 out of 10 artists nowadays.

I copped that Outkast and Get Rich Or Die Trying on the same day. I even had the pants Big Boi wearing on the cover. Copped em from Burlington Coat Factory. Copped a State Property fit from there too.

The first joint I bought. I still have it (that's it in the pic). Got it the summer of '88 with my Hardee's paycheck. Got paid, walked down Woodward to Sams Jams and copped. Went home and immediately made a copy of it on cassette so I could listen to it in my walkman.
