I was in Birmingham Alabama, just out of a whatevership and newly unemployed. So I escaped to visit a friend so I could recover.
Her roommate at the time came home with that album and I had never heard anything like that in my life.
Up until that point it had only been mainly radio stuff or "underground" hip hop. You have the stuff you grew up with, the classics, R&B ... but this was new, different, and I had never had any access point to it sonically or culturally.
And at that point I decided that I was just going to shed a lot of what had gotten me to that point. Told myself that there was a whole world out there that I didn't know about and I was going to find it.
I've been on the journey ever since,
