Growing up, I was an 80’s baby by default who, although a toddler, was exposed to each element of Hip-Hop from the breaking, scratching, and emceeing to the tagging and knowledge of the culture. See, my aunt and uncle were 80’s babies by Jay-Z’s standards (people who weren’t exactly born in the 80’s but ran the 80’s) and they worshiped the culture like it was a religion. I can recall my aunt and uncle’s weekly discussions with their crew about the latest rap beefs, the illest albums out, and the best moves to bust at the skating rink on Friday if the DJ played Eric B. & Rakim’s “Paid In Full”. They were my babysitters but I saw them as my teachers because although I sat in my high-chair with a iced oatmeal cookie and sippy cup full of Kool-Aid, I knew that Hip-hop was something in high-regards and definitely worth paying attention to. So I paid attention.
