as a dj, my storied past can be told thru the music i listened to or am listening too. here are some album that influenced me in life and my dj career. no particular order...
1. Zion I - "mind over matter"
this is prolly the first album from a local artist that i full enjoyed that wasnt about violence, drugs, or wild'n out. dont get me wrong, i listent to hiero, but this album was the 1st where i can just sit and listen to the whole thing, beats n all!this album opened me up to more than just commercial radio n beats!
2. Warren G - "regulators"
the first rap album i purchased with my own money. since it was my first i listened to every track, plus the skip button on my disc man didnt work. but i memorized every lyric and skit on this cd
3.Kanye West - "Graduation"
kanyes use of sampling always caught my ear, with this cd, he also brought style and fashion which he is now persuing, music and style go hand n hand like peas n carrots
4.R.Kelly - "12 play"
musical sex...need i say more?
5.Daft Punk - "Homework"
my first take on electronic/techno/dance...i loved it and still do, along with their follow ups. BEST SONG ON HERE..."dafunk"
6.Green Day "dookie"
outta left field, but its some local boys, who played good music...and look at them now!! good lyrics good music
7.SOUNDBOMBING 2 -
the best collection of MCees squaring off. also another CD i can listen from end to end
8. Tablib Kweli "beautiful struggle"
one of my favorite artist, displaying mic control!!!
9. Krupt - "the streets is a mutha"
who knew krupt had flows...well he does shits hella catchy
10. New Found Glory - Covers
dunno if this was really a CD, but i downloaded all their covers of pop, rap, slow jam songs. all played with a punk like energy. something i enjoy...i like hearing songs in a different like...like remixes and mashups!
