My first real exposure to rap was Cypress Hill, which at the time was a revelation. I still don't listen to a ton of rap/hip hop, but it's always pretty neat when you hear something completely different and can really get into it. Whole new worlds.

A great album to be exposed to. I'm only a quarter done listing my the albums I've bought and enjoyed over the years. It's a great style of music that I enjoy off and on. My latest rap addiction is to the new Kanye West album.

Tallyho
