Charlie Puth's first Hip-Hop album

Back with another installment of Hip-Hop Made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the birth of Hip-Hop, we linked up with Charlie Puth where he shared the first Hip-Hop albums he ever purchased. The New Jersey raised pop-R&B artist revealed that Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP was one of the first Hip-Hop albums he purchased. "The first Hip-Hop album I bought was 'The Marshall Mathers LP' by Eminem out of Detroit at Jack's Music Store in Redbank, New Jersey," he continued that the second album he bought was the 2000 album, Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, which all though it's not necessarily a Hip-Hop album, it reminded him of the essence of the genre which would then lead him to purchasing Dr. Dre's The Chronic.
