Eazy-E’s story about all the women he’s acquired (“Well I’m Eazy-E, I got bitches galore / You may have a lot of bitches but I got more”), his “super-duper group coming out the chute,” 8 ball sipping, how he “collects from bitches,” being a gangsta having fun, knocking “m************ out,” taking money and “itching for mo’,” and cold smoking someone’s ass really connected with me. Yo Dre, (what’s up) give me a funky ass baseline.”įrom that moment on, I was hooked. “He was once a thug from around the way… / Eazy, but you should – Bitch, shut the f*** up, get the f*** outta here. “Easy does what?” I asked, confused as all hell. Then, he prefaced an upcoming song by saying, “the beginning of this song is hilarious, listen closely to the lyrics or words or whatever it is.” I put my ears up to the iPod not knowing what to expect. He was playing music from his iPod, most of which I was not feeling at all. I was walking home from school with my friend Trevor and a couple of other kids who I cannot recall. I still kind of feel this way since a lot of hip-hop is garbage, yet I did grow an appreciation for old school hip-hop and an assortment of today’s music (I know I sound like an old man). Try not to hate me for this, but I used to have an emotional hatred for Lil Wayne and all things auto-tuned. I also felt an angst towards the hip-hop that my friends were listening to.
I was in seventh grade, and at the time my music diet consisted of classic rock, alternative rock and a lot of Metallica. Specifically, I remember the song that got me to fall in love with hip-hop. For some odd reason I cannot remember a large majority of the Patriots games I have been to, yet there are songs that I still listen to today that bring me back to when I first heard them. Music has an interesting way of making you remember the most random events.
