The first artist that broke you in

[Lexx]

Okay, so its simple...

who was the first emcee, or group that "broke your...." basically, who inspired your hip hop collection to grow?

Mine, is truly old skool
Bell biv devoe, Kriss Kross, house of pain (ha ha ha... so tru!), Public Enemy, run dmc, nwa and fu-shnickens... are the first group i can really think of... not one is standing out in particular at the moment.

altho, im sure if i rack my brain ill be able to go back in time and remember the first... ooh yeah and black sheep... damn who was first? do y'all remember?
