i was into the so-called parent-baiting hip-hop around the turn of the millenium, I inherited a bunch of classic gangsta CDs (like the best of NWA, the Chronic etc) from a well-to-do mate who 'ditched' hip-hop and took up metal (?!). One of my favourite albums when it came out was 'the W'.
I moved out of that 'phase', only to come back to hip-hop several years ago via the older stuff (De La, Tribe etc), appreciating it in ways I hadn't before - lyrically, philosophically, blah di blah. So it's all good in the hood. I came full circle last year and re-acquired the Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers LPs having long since ditched the CDs. haha, They're really good.
