What Was Your First Hip Hop Song or Verse You Memorized?
For me it was:
Sucker MC's by RUN-DMC
This is not necessarily an old school thread

Eric B. & Rakim's "Eric B. Is President" was probably runner-up for me.

You took the words, right out of my mouth!! My favorite verse is, "Thought I was a dougnut, and tried to glaze me"... "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" |

I think it was The Breaks by Kurtis Blow. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I wasn't a true old-schooler. But the first one I REMEMBER is "Rapper's Delight."
Then I'd have to move forward a little bit for verses I remembered, to these songs:
"Roxanne, Roxanne" -- UTFO
"King Of Rock" -- Run-D.M.C.
"I Can't Live Without My Radio" -- LL Cool J
"La Di Da Di" -- Doug E. Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew [Edited 10/26/12 14:11pm] Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

This might have been mine also. At the time, I was used to hearing singles from Thriller and other contemporary R&B on the radio and then I changed stations and heard this and thought, wow, this is some crazy underground stuff--it's just a beat and the guys aren't even singing. | |
