My Ascension into Hip-Hop Pt. 1

Not many people know this, so i thought i would share it with everyone. And my apologies for not having a quote at the beginning, can't think of any right now, lol. Let me get started.

My ascension into Hip-Hop gradually started in the mid nineties, when i had my tape deck, listening to icons such as Tupac and Biggie, Fat Joe, Big Pun and so forth. I loved listening to music on my tape deck, especially with my brother. I loved listening to it, just the feel of listening to real music made me feel of an almost importance, since i could share my knowledge of HH with my older brothers, both of them HH Heads. Especially my oldest brother (you can find him on the number one spot on my myspace). I could always have an educated discussion about HH with them, although everyone else were on some other bs.

I continued my love for HH onto i would say about, 1999, I had stopped listening to music because it ceased to please my ears, leaving me with nothing but a mere shell of what HH really stood for. The growth of the black community to get their voices heard. Up until i started listening to HH again (which was in about 2003) i did nothing but go to school, bored out of my mind and playing videogames when i got home, it was the only thing worth doing since i had lost interest in HH. However, this did not stay the case.

In about mid 2003, i got my first personal computer, in which i had previously learned to burn cd's, and i wanted to do so with my cd player so i could have a mix. Although, it wasn't quite possible with old ass tape decks (it probably is now with the all tech that's coming out). So in this time period, i went and searched around my house for good cd's to burn, something that could hold my interest, couldn't find anything good until i asked my mother where she kept most of her cd's. In doing so, i stumbled upon a classic (IMO) which was Will Smith's Willenium. Most people might disagree with me on this fact but it does not bother me, it will remain a classic in my eyes. After i discovered this cd, i listened to it for countless hours, actually inspiring me to write lyrics of my own. And this is when it all lit up for me. I will delve into this matter later, peace out until then.
