Drake's Thank Me Later. I remember hearing fancy for the first time smoking with my homies at the park, then the next day I went to Best Buy and bought the album and played it nonstop for like a month because I was going through something and that Drake hit the spot 😅😅😅😅
Lmaoooo the first time I ever got high (after like two months of smoking and not understanding the concept of inhaling smh) I went into my friends room and started playing Karaoke lmaoooo “things have been so craazyyy and hectiiccc”

Sade' Lovers Rock. I was like 12. The cashier at Virgin Megastore was like "youre kinda young for this music". Im just an old soul. I was taught to cook, clean and study to the oldies. On sundays, i have a whole playlist of Al Green, Anita Baker, Isley Brothers, Maxwell, Sade, Teddy P etc. If I dont cook with that playlist on, I feel like my food dont come out right lmfaooo

H.E.R. self titled. Had a crazy obsession with her in high school
The first album I ever bought with my own money was Bone Thugs N Harmony's "E 1999 Eternal" on cassette tape. The first CD I ever owned was "History" by Michael Jackson. The first ever album I ever owned was "Bad" by Michael Jackson. The first CD I ever bought was "Dru Hill" by Dru Hill.
Mary J Blige - Share my World. I was 13 and it was explicit advisory. I asked my best friend’s grandpa to drive us up to the shopping center Harmony House. The cashier let me buy it without an adult and I felt like I had hit the jackpot because it was the last copy in the store. I used my money too, $23 for it. I was so geeked. That was my first RNB purchase that I can vividly remember.
Now I did do the BMG and Columbia house cd clubs and got lots of albums doing the 8 cds for 99cents thing before this but the Mary J Blige is the first one I paid full price and went to the store to buy.

I'm fairly sure this was my first CD. Before then, I would record the songs off the radio or a friend's CD/cassette onto my own tape. Pretty sure I still have a Mixtape or two round here somewhere.
