Sitting on my bed listening to Reflection Eternal in 1999, thinking that I didn't know that hip-hop could get this good.

1991 : I was 13, watching Toyota TOP 20 hosted by Lawrence Dube and Guess what they played. ATCQ - Can i KICK IT ? I was like WHOAAAA !!! This is some dope shit.That moment right there kinda got me started into this hip-hop thing. Mom dukes bought a VCR machine and after that i was taping every rap song they played on TV. Still got my old tapes.

1993 : The Chronic - Best shit i had ever heard. I had this boy who was older  than me, had all sorts of tapes, from Das-EFX, Kool Mo Dee, LL, Dela, basically everything. I was going crazy over Snoop saying how he's the best rapper ever and dude was like nah. Then in 94 he gave me a tape of Illmatic and that's how i kind switched from West Coast to East Coast hip-hop.

1994 : Zero Hour Zone - Before Channel O and DSTV this show was the shit. I would sit up till 4 in the morning just recording all sorts of music videos.

IT'S BEEN ON EVER SINCE. THERE's TOO MANY TOO NAME AFTER THAT.
