oh memorized!! um, it would have been something way later like either Young MC "Principal's Office" or MC Hammer "U Can't Touch This".

Cool thread. Interesting to know when y'all got the game onto the radar. Can't help but feel old tho.

My first memories of hip-hop were on "mix tapes" (real ones) from guys who had been in the military (hence stationed in diff cities world-wide).

Caz, Theodore, Flash.....all amongst the sounds we heard (only ID'd in later years). In 77-79, it just felt "hip" to be in "the know".

Saw Kurtis live in 80 (opened for Cameo.....was in the front row.....holy crap..lol). It was Kurtis & "The Breaks" that blew it all up, world-wide, honestly.

probably something from the kids show ghost writer

but if we're talking mainstream, left eye's waterfalls rap which I still know well, and salt n pepa songs shoop and whatta man

"I used to live downtown, 129th street/Convent everything's upbeat..."

or

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww no rapper can rap/Quite like I can/I'll take muscle bound man/And put his face in the sand..."

or

"Funky fresh, dressed to impress/Ready to party..."

can't remember which came first.

Oi, beibe, nyt taisin keksiä,
voisimme kokeilla ryhmäseksiä.
Otetaan faijasi mukaan kimppaan,
olenkin jo kyllästynyt pelkkään pimppaan.

I got a fable that you need to listen to

It's a funky little rhyme about a bitch or two

One's Sharon the other ones Shawn

I wanted to nut but which one do I want?

Shawn said Easy let me fuck you blind

And Sharon said E I want to blow your mind

I said fuck it I know what should be done

Just pull your panties down and I'll fuck the biggest one

And then I get the other pussy put it in the frezzer

So I can always have an on hold skezzer

Yeah that's the ticket I'll do it like that

So I told the hoes to take a big step back

Took the zipper down eyes wide and said

Here what Im gonna put inside

Grab it like a rabbit, let's work it

But I won't love you when I'm done

I'll still be talkin' shit............

Easy E's "Still Talkin' Shit"

I use to sneak and listen to my brothers cassette tapes when I was a little kid in the 80's and he just happen to have Eazy's first solo album, needless to say the cursing and subject matter got my attention right away LOL!!

I SAID GET UP, GET UP, GET UP, GET UP, GET UP, GET UP, GET UP, GET UP, GET UP, SIT BACK DOWN!!!!!

I definitely got some sneak listens to Eazy-E, NWA, and Too $hort around 1989, but never enough to have a verse memorized until I was much older.

Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh - La Di Da Di

was the first rap I learned by heart...
