Dont remember the specific artist or song. I was given a cassette of pretty standard funk (James Brown, JB's, Fatback, Meters, etc) and got baked and was totally blown away at the music. Up to that point I had listened to rap on the radio (late 80's-early 90's), so I was hearing the beats that had been sampled by Pete Rock, Large Proffessor, et al.

This was freshman year of high school. Still love funk and soul and hip hop and appreciate the syncretic nature of the genres.
