11. Never heard any hip hop back in my country so I wasn't exposed to it until I came to the states. First time I heard Wayne curse on a song I was f***ing hooked

always heard rap on the radio and on tv.
first memory of rap is hearing run it by chris brown at my first(?) grade egg end of year event
active listening tho was probably 3rd grade when a family friend had the carter iii cd and ran that s*** every day

Since birth nigga

Same, where you from?

Cuba, you?

wtf
legendary s***

my mom would play s*** like grodt and p****cat dolls in the car i was prolly like 7 back then after that i got one of those fake ipod with 2pac and eminem full discogs on it and went from there
hiphop was always big in youth culture here so we always had dutch rap

Started with Outkast in 2001, was 8

Malaysia but i live in the US

8 years old I think

like 10. Got really into it when i was 12

3 or 4 years old, had an older cousin who lived with us.

8-9 Ying yang twins and Nas

2002, I was 8. it's been almost 18 years

"Mayte" era is a unique choice! Diamonds and Pearls have sone of my favorite Prince tracks! Most focus on early 80's, but I am a stan of Sign O' The Times and Batman.

My favorite Prince material is from 1987 to 1990! Sign O' The Times is my favorite album.

Oh, yes; "Sign O' the Times," "Camille," "Dream Factory," & the original variant of "Crystal Ball..." those were the times too, man, I must admit, goddamn. & "Diamonds and Pearls..." with Rosie, Tony (albeit not nearly adored as much as Ms. Gaines for reasons), The Steeles, Kirky J., & even some Michael & Sonny... "Cream," "Horny Pony," "Schoolyard," "Strollin'," "Walk Don't Walk," "Willing and Able," etc... it's a hell of an underrated era as well, for sure!

Moreover, as of late, I've been noticing way more praise for "Batman" than, let's say, five years ago... therefore, it seems like the general public has finally been appreciating the project, just like they should have when they'd put the album out, to be frank. Also, undoubtedly, my favourite tunes on the project are "Electric Chair," "The Future," "Scandalous," "Trust," "Vicki Waiting," & its B-Sides: "Feel U Up" & "I Love U in Me."

I started actively looking for it at 12 around 2005. The good ol days. Right before lime wire era
