Selena’s Dreaming of You was the first album I ever bought as a kid. I discovered Selena just a few months before her life was tragically cut short, and she quickly captured my heart. Decades later, it remains one of the finest albums I’ve ever heard.
With my own money, it was probably something hair metal.
I do remember asking my parents for Run-DMC’s “Raising Hell” for my birthday or Hanukkah around fifth or sixth grade because I wanted to see if they would buy me the swear album. (They did.)
It was one of the first cds I got. I had to many tapes and i kept refusing to get a cd player but I did that summer and that album came out in the fall.
When I got my first walkman as a present, I went to the music store and this was one of the two albums I got. I had never heard them before; I just thought the cover art was cool. It is still one of my favorite albums of all time.
The first album I remember going to the record store & buying with my own money was Run-DMC’s “Raising Hell.” My 8th grade boyfriend Brian & I rode our bikes to get it the summer after 8th grade. Brian bought the green album cover and I got the purple one. Still in rotation. #HipHopForever 🙌🏾💜💚🎶
