First rap song you ever heard/ song that got you hooked

Heard my brother listening to Criminal by Eminem. That got me hooked into rap, along with Big Pimpin' by Jay-Z.

Not sure what the first song I heard was, can't remember that far back. But the one that got me hooked was, I think You Don't Know. I just loved the beat and the way it flowed. I figured if Hip Hop is supposedly 'dead' and people like Em & 50 'fell off', imagine what rap was like when it wasn't dead...that was my rationale and and i've been listening to Rap ever since :8)

Mike Shinoda rapped in the song. Without Linkin Park, I wouldn't listen to rap at all. They sparked my interest in rap. :y:

Oh, thats cool. I love Linkin Park too, one of my favorite bands. Actually, Somewhere I Belong got me into listenin to them. But my favorite LP song is deffinitely Numb (one of my top 5 rock songs ever), but without Jay-Z, I hated that version. He just ruins the song. :n:
