Strange shit you thought as a kid growing up with hiphop

[Turfaholic]

I used to think digital underground was from NY. Come to find out these niggas lived 20 minutes away from me

 

[NeighborhoodNomad.]

When i first saw the video for "Insane in the Membrane"-Cypress Hill, i thought B Real was Bizzy Bone.

 

[tharealest561]

When I was 11, I thought it was illegal for Fab to name his album Ghetto Fabulous after Mystikal had done it 3 years prior

 

[CP203]

lol i thought the dude in the crossroads video was the real angel of death

 

[TayJone]

I used to read my brothers Outkast "ATLiens" CD as atliens lol

and i used to think Snoop Dogg really was a pimp lol

I thought gimme da loot was rapped by biggie and lil cease I didn't know that was biggie rapping both parts.

 

[Stiff]

I thought Ice Cube invented the word "homeboy"

 

[luke1733]

This music is funny. "Slick Rick" was my first rapper whose tape I stole. Then, damn this music is about real life and preaching. That thought came when I bought my first cassette of Ice Cube's Death Certificate

 

[luke1733]

9 with slick rick. 11 with ice cube

 

[luke1733]

blacks own this music

i never would known pac big and even mobb deep were so young ... granted i was younger but wish i had known i might of done some bigger thangs @ a younger age ......

I thought Shock G and Humpty Hump were 2 different people.

I thought for some reason 2Pac couldn't be killed. When he got shot in Vegas, I thought he would just bounce back and make more songs.

I believed 99.9% of everything Mobb Deep rapped about on their first album. It just seemed so similar to our lives as kids from my area. Especially the Prodigy "smack you in the face just for living skit". That solidified it for me.

I thought Too Short was actually a Pimp.

I thought Compton was exactly like Boyz in the Hood all day, everyday.

still to this day i be looking @ shock like wtf did yall do with Humpty lol they was trolling the shit out of us back when trolling didnt exist LOL fake as humpty .... the best part is when they would have the Real Shock but a Fake Humpty or vice versa ... Shock would be dressed as Humpty and then youll see a fake shock walking around ... i know behind the scenes that shit had to be hilarious lol

 

[rapmastermind]

LOL, When I was about 8 or 9 back in 88-89. I thought "N.W.A." was a violent Street Gang in L.A. It didn't help matters when Ice Cube was in "Boyz in the Hood" a few years later, lol.

 

[onetoughmiracle]

I used to think VH1 played hip hop videos.

 

[eternal soldier]

I used to think Fat Joe and Big pun were the same person

I had this R Kelly poster (I was 5 and don't remember how it got there) and he was bald and dark. Years later I saw that he was light with braids and thought there were two R.Kelly's..

 

[onetoughmiracle]

I thought that 2pac really thought that everybody was scared of him.

 

[Lincoln]

I thought Big Tigga really filmed Rap City in his momma's basement. I was always wondering why I ain't never see her come down and bring him cookies

I thought Bone Thugs was a group of four Puerto Rican brothers, and that Crossroads vid had me shook of the death touch.

 

[eternal soldier]

I used to believe that feature artists were just feature artists then fab dropped his debut and it angered me to no end because I thought "why is a feature artist so tough now"

Which leads me to my next post, I felt like when I heard the uncensored versions of songs rappers were bad people because they cussed!

Thought Jay-Z was the dad of one of my classmates in first grade. They looked actually alike!
