Jarhead commercial

Mhm?

Gold digger on the radio

Listened to Grad and loved it then went back to dropout and LR

And then downloaded the FA series

Stronger music video. Became a fan like 4 years later when I checked out what critics recommend and Kanye had just released his magnum opus MBDTF.

Listening to Gold Digger on my friends iPod Nano is the first memory I have of Kanye.

Technically I had heard Slow Jamz sometime before that because I knew it instantly the first time I played it properly. I don't remember how or when and had absolutely no idea it was Kanye tho.

i remember hearing golddigger on the radio at school

English class when I was 14 and our teacher played flashing lights and then we a***yzed the lyrics

Good times when Rolling Stone actually rated the music and not the person behind it. Same with P4K. Have lost all my respect for them tbh.

Ego remix

Blindly based on the cover/title or did she know the singles? Your family seems to be into Hip-Hop much

someone had good morning playing on their myspace profile

This but saw a promo poster for late registration when I was a youngin

Back when MTV actually played music. Through the Wire

I'm so sorry but it was Stronger

I started being interested in music very late. My sister was always listening to 00s boy band rock music and I just haven't figured out what music I really like

Such a classic f***ing verse

Diamonds from Sierra Leone at 3 in the morning watching much music tv

stronger music video was the first video i saw on youtube when i was ab 8

Gorgeous off of MBDTF

Stronger but wasn't a big fan back then, it was too commercial for my taste. Addiction and Drive Slow got me interested to check his discography

Singles. You'd hear a lot of it on TV & Radio. It was also one of the first CDs I was able to listen to on my own because she thought he was "safe" enough compared to the standard lmao (I was 7 at the time iirc), which is part of why he became my fav. But my ma loves Spaceships, Jesus Walks & Slowjams while my dad loved Breathe in Breathe Out & Get 'Em High.

My mom & dad were heavily into Rap from the 80s until 2005ish. They would even have get together house parties with barbecues every now & then too. I remember 2Pac All Eyez on Me, Ice Cube Greatest Hit, College Dropout, Get Rich or Die Tryin' & The Documentary to staying around in our 5 disc CD player playing at one of the parties.

They def into it. I grew up with Rap & RnB since the womb basically lol. Grew hearing s*** like 2Pac, Cube, Dr. Dre, Snoop, DMX, E40, LL Cool J & Wu Tang a lot on the Rap side & hearing s*** like Jodeci, R. Kelly, Keith Sweat, Aaliyah, Mariah Carey, Ginuwine, One Twelve & Boyz to Men & Luther Vandross on the RnB side. You'd Also hear some Prince, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles & Michael Jackson here & there too.

Rap is the main genre everyone in my house listens to followed by RnB, but personally I started diving into other s*** like Indie Rock & "abstract" Electronic music etc. starting in high school, & got heavy into the modern underground Rap scene since late middle school.

All of it helped me lead to a path of music in life, & why I'm such a music nerd in general

like the second time i see anyone mention providence lol.

Hearing All Falls Down on the radio in 2004, then seeing the Jesus Walks video that same year.

Didn’t become a real fan until 2009, though. Then MBDTF dropped & I became a stan

Workout plan was my 1st introduction to kanye.

How? Cousin was playing drop it like its hot on the computer and then workout plan came on.

I aint pay it no mind tho...

I’m sure I heard his hits before, but my older sister really put me on because she would play him in the car and then from there I went to listen to more, and since I got really into Kanye I got into rap also. I was probably like 10 or 11
