Growing up in VA and being a kid it was hard to relate to. My cousin gave me KRS-1's criminally minded and I was like, "yeah um, that's cool". Then she gave me 3 Ft High & Rising and my head exploded. Didn't know you could do with hip-hop all the things they were doing. Remember there were no skits before these dudes. There wasn't really any music from cats who didn't come from the hood. Sooo dope. **********"Everyone has a plan until you punch them in the face. Then they don't have a plan anymore."
