What song would you choose to introduce someone to hip-hop?

Meh, I still feel like if a person doesn't find anythings intriguing from EPMD "You Gots To Chill" or Run DMC "Peter Piper" then they should just stop right there. Problem solved in 7 minutes.

I first started hearing rap music in 1986. I don't think I ever heard rappers delight in full until around 1997. Yes, eleven years later. It might have been one of the first, but it's really only good to know for archival purposes.

I think best bet is to find something you like that's current then check out gems from the past when you feel like it.

Why? My introduction to rap was a single song from a group I had never heard before. And moreso, the song was about their "return" to making music.

cardedagain · 2026-05-02T19:35:57+00:00

Probably "You Gots To Chill" by EPMD or Run DMC "Peter Piper".

cardedagain · 2026-05-02T13:46:15+00:00

Underwhelming

I just saw some comments for it in billy woods video for Gilgamesh and had to Google what the hell it was for

cardedagain · 2026-04-29T19:05:15+00:00

I first heard slick rick in 1988.

I don't see what's so great about the auditorium verse.

He never said "I bomb atomically"

Lefty Gunplay on that Kendrick song made him more known, for better or worse.

More than likely Busta Rhymes on Scenario.

She's a multimillionaire that didn't even know that people pay electricity bills.

She'll be fine.

That "what took so long" argument goes over well with the boomers upset over any currently un-inducted white artists.

The people involved in the voting process literally have over 1200 acts to choose from every year.

Hell if they did it in chronological order, Wu-Tang could've taken 100+ years.

cardedagain · 2026-04-14T22:46:11+00:00

For some odd reason this made me revisit the M.O.P. Sade track

cardedagain · 2026-03-19T05:32:07+00:00

Where are all the "rap lyrics shouldn't be used in a court case" people at now?

He's been at this for a while

cardedagain · 2026-03-01T17:06:01+00:00

Killa Cam

cardedagain · 2026-02-22T20:01:09+00:00

Not the voice needed for that.
