how did all u all first get into freestyle? like which songs started it for u?

for me, I always liked pop/dance music while i was younger, then i started listening to B96 and I heard In Paradise by Laissez Faire.and I loved it! then i started hearing the song in mixes on Friday and Saturday nights on B96. and Im listening to all the songs, like Change On Me and Endless Nights, etc. and I though "I remember these songs from the rollerinks,I love this shit!" and i realized they called it "freestyle".then on a radio commericial on B96, they were having a "Freestyle Forever Tour" it had songs in the background as the said the artists names, thats how i found out who Cynthia was. and that when i started buying their cds and tapes, and freestyle mixes. So if it wasnt for B96, i would have probably never known of freestyle. 😀
 
there was a couple of songs i liked at first like dreamboy/dreamgirl, my fallen angel but it wasnt my favorite type of music(to tell the truth i didnt even know it was called freestyle.) til i was on fordham road in the bronx shopping and they played give your love to me by TKA on Hot97. the rest is history from there........

I remember listening to B96 mixes when they starting playing freestyle. Remember the Hot Mix 5; Julian "Jumpin" Perez, Bad Boy Bill, Frankie "Hollywood" Rodriguez, Ralphie the "Razz" Rozario, Mike "Hitman" Wilson. Later came Tim "Spinnin" Shomer in the early 90s throwing down on the turntables. His mixes were dope. I also listen to 90.5 WZYC with the Dominating 6 mixing team; Gino "Rockin" Romo, Gabriel "Rican" Rodriguez, Jackmaster Jay, Gabriel "Get Down" Garcia and Pablo Gunn. They were competing with 96.3.
As far as artists, C-Bank, TKA, Cynthia, Sweet Sensation, Cover Girls, Sa-Fire, Latin Rascals (Tony Moran), Loose Touch (George Lammond), Nayobe. I can't really narrow it down on how I started to listen to latin hip hop (later named hearthrob and freestyle music). I guess I was drawn by the DJs mixing freestyle music........
 
Let me put this way in '90 I got hooked on it by my boy. It was off of a freestyle mix by DJ EDDIE B HOUSE called LOCO FREESTYLE 2 that intro was off the hook and 2 this day I jam to it everyday

my first freestyle comp. (irony was stolen from him) It was called I
Believe Freestyle Gems (I Think it was actually Freestyle round-up vol.1) i think the tagline was something like Freestyle gems!
 
I first heard Freestyle Music when I was just a little boy. I say about 3 or 4 (hell yeah I remember). 😛 And I would just Love the way the music/songs sounded. From the beats & rhythms, to the guys & girls' voices. It's obvious! That I'm just a "Freestyle Child" from *Above. 😛 I've Always had, and Always will have, a place for the "Music" in my heart.

May the Freestyle Live On! 😉

Don't mean to dampen the mood, but it's kinda sad how I got into freestyle. When I was 15 (I'm 25 now) I had a best friend named David, and at that time his favorite song was Lil Suzy (take me in your arms). I had just moved to New York from Oklahoma (air force brat) the year before, so I didn't even hear of freestyle till I met him.
Anyhow, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time... Some man had just been robbed in his house so he ran out of the house with a gun looking for the burglars and my friend happened to be walking down the street and the man shot him thinking he was the one who broke into his house.

Long Story short, now everytime I listen to freestyle i think of him.
 
believe it or not, I got into freestyle (don't laugh) exactly 2 summers ago! when elissa had that track "back to me". it was all over 1 radio station (that's right, it explains how I am such an amateur) in toronto, then i found out about that radio station's 1-hour freestyle show. I listened to it every week and that's how i got into freestyle 😀

Chris, I can relate to you..... When I listen to songs that came out in the 90s reminds me of a friend that passed away in 96. She was caught in gang crossfire... One of her favorite artist was Lil Suzy..... Ironically, her name is Suzzy too. I started listening to freestyle before I met her, but certain songs bring back memories.....
 
ok, i think i got the best "first experience" with freestyle. it was about 7 years ago. i was 16 (i knew of like stevie b and lil suzy cuz they were like the "mainstream" stuff. being in michigan you don't here freestyle on the radio, so i got a late start on freestyle) anyway, me and my best friend were driving in my car on our way to a teenie bopper club "streamers" (what a place) lol we were talking about how we had just both broke up with our girlfriends. we were in one of those "f them" moods, and we'll find some hunnies at the club. on the way there he pops in this ghetto looking tape. the first song was collage and denine "love of a lifetime". i started laughing at it. i was like what the f^^^ is this shit. he says, just listen to it, it will make you cry. next song was denine, i remember you, and then tell me boy, tell me girl. i honestly almost started crying after that song. then what clinched the deal was the next 5 songs. all stevie b. funky melody, dreamin of love, spring love, and 2 more. then miguel reyes, those were the times. buy the time we got to the club i was about to cry. shitty way to enter the club. i stole the tape on the way home and went directly to an underground store in detroit and spent every dime i had on tapes. 7 years later, and 2500 mp3s later, im addicted. it's seriously a drug to me. anytime, all the time. i have to have cd near me.
 
2500 mp3's shakes damn where u get them all!! i lost all my stuff i need 2 build up my freestyle collection once again
