[DANJ!]

Run DMC "King Of Rock" is the earliest one I remember...my mother used to tape music videos on Friday nights, and that was one of the vids that came on. First rap video I ever saw.

And also I had a teenage older brother in the 80s, so you know what that means... Had the big grey radio, used to play Run-DMC, LL, Doug E Fresh & Slick Rick's "The Show", Fat Boys, Whodini, etc... so I heard all that. And then when Krush Groove came out on VHS

Tupac- Keep Your Head Up and I Get Around are the earliest rap songs I can remember. I remember being 3 or just turning 4 coming into a friends home and both of these songs playing on MTV or BET back to back.
