Snoop Doggy Dogg - Tha Doggfather
I must have been about eleven or twelve when it came out and it’s the first rap album I listened to all the way through. It was given to me by a friend whose big brother had it on tape and so my friend gave it to me and I played it and I was just hooked on it. It was like a new world to me. I was like what the fuck is this? I just kept playing it over and over.
