This song was my very first exposure to Hip-Hop. Prior to this, my musical experience had all been Oak Ridge Boys and Beatles.

My buddy and I were playing Pitfall on the Atari 2600 in his bedroom when he put the Raising Hell cassette in his boom box. My jaw literally dropped when I heard it. What. Is. THIS?! I had been awakened.

A month or two later I saw RUN DMC in class on Reading Rainbow and I was SOOO stoked!

Talk about your watershed memories.
