I LOVE HIP HOP !

When I was eight years old I heard Will Smith's song Miami , I was like ooooooh what is this ?
Then on a bus ride to school someone played I'll Be Missing You by Puff Daddy feat. Faith Evans and 112, I knew I needed to hear more!
During a winter vacation day camp at local YMCA , I snuck up to the rec room and turned on the tv to MTV ( back when they played music videos ) ,  an I was introduced to Naughty By Nature and The Fugees . The songs were OOP ( not a song a little one should listen too lol)  and Killing Me Softly ( which is originally by Roberta Flack).
Wasn't until 1999 when Eminem's My Name is did I really get into Rap/Hip-Hop.
Like most white kids during that time I fell in love Eminem , mainly because we could relate in some way to his music.
Because of Eminem , I was introduced to Dr. Dre , Snoop Dogg , Xzbit , and many more .
Then as I got older I got more into Rap/Hip-Hop, started listening to Jay-Z , 2Pac, Notorious BIG, Wu-Tang Clan , Master P , Bow Wow , Ja Rule , 50 Cent , Nas , and many more .
At age 20 I gave my life to Christ and was introduced to Christian rap.
I thought it was corny at first but found some Christian Rappers I liked ,  Lecrae, This'l, Flame, Trip Lee, T-bone , and Grits .
Right now I have a love and hate relationship with Christian Rap  because a lot of Christian rappers are trying to sound like these mainstream mumble rappers. Plus some self righteous Christian Rappers think they are more holy because they decided to stay in there small circle of fans . When Lecrae decides to have a mainstream rapper or singer on one of his track's , some Christian Rappers hasto be legalistic and go on some holy than thou bull an crap on Lecrae .

Right I listen to listen to a mixture of Mainstream and Christian Rappers.
So I thought it would cool to share my ten Rappers that I am listening right now ! ( no particular order)

Hip Hop will always be a part of my life and I hope if I do have kids or a kid , that I can pass on my love for Hip Hop .
