michael jackson - bad, thriller & off the wall (aged about 8 or 9, i listened to nothing but MJ for 2 years solid, off the wall is still in probably my top 3 albums ever)
de la soul - 3 feet high and rising (aged 10)
public enemy - fear of a black planet (aged 10 or 11)
other than those from about the age of 10 until 12 i used to sit and listen to the top 40 countdown every week and tape all the rap tunes, so i had all these compilations with stuff like MC hammer, technotronic, NWA (100 miles and runnin' made the top 40), jungle brothers, MC Tunes, Rebel MC, overlord x, a tribe called quest, C&C Music Factory... sadly when i got into jungle a few years later i taped over all my old top 40 comps.
when i was 12 i got nevermind and pretty much stopped listening to hiphop over night and didn't listen to anything but "grunge" for about 3 years.
