To be fair, I heard this before the Snoop album. I had a friend and I used to go to his house and we played Donkey Kong on Super Nintendo, and this was playing in the background. I was like ‘wow what is this?’ and I think he let me borrow the CD and I used to play it over and over again. So this was actually the first rap album I got into. It was either this or Snoop, one of the two.
