whats your favorite oldschool hiphop rap ?
 

I was just listening to biggies and bone thugs song : notorious thugs

i dont know, im not that old

SICK!


one of my favoirites of all times.

Wow...Biggie and Bone Thugs are now old school. Now I feel old.

I was gonna say NWA's "Straight Outta Compton" but wasn't sure it was old school enough. :winkwink:

thay are not that much of old school

Broken glass everywhere, people pissing on the stairs you know they just don't care.
(Sadly, more true than he could have ever imagined.)

How many years has it been since Biggie and Tupac went down?

Mobb Deep
Lost Boys

Tupac is one of my favorits.

biggie went down about 3 years ago

No way. Only 3 years? I'm thinking it's closer to 8 now.

Off to Google it.

NWA is classic gangsta rap for sure

i think i have my dates wrong

I love this shit!

Ray guhn style :) stuff from our members areas

Closer to 8. I think this September will be 9 years since Tupac died. (from what I can gather from Google)

Whodini Friends

old school.. heh. how about the Song Haunted House by Hodini..

run dmc :thumbsup

White Lines :-)

Notorious B.I.G and Tupac are my favorites.

Hmm. .

Not sure if this qualifies as old school:
Pharcyde, Black Sheep, or Leaders of the New School

If we gotta go way back:
Ultramagnetic MCs (kool keith)
Run DMC

God damn im old.

No question for me it's Ice T

Ice Cube is bad ass, and Snoop Dogg - Doggy Style is classic.... those aren't really that old.

Easy E! :thumbsup

Rakim - Ice cube

:thumbsup

Grandmaster Flash - Freedom :thumbsup

Slick Rick

Doug E Fresh

Too Short

Just picked up NWA - Straight Outta Compton.
It's owning my life right now.

Old school to me is before 94 has to be at least 10 years old.

Eric B and Rakim
EPMD
Special ED

Run DMC For Sure :pimp

Can't forget Slick Rick & Big Daddy Kane

Wow, Tupac, Snoop and Dre are all oldschool now. So many years gone by already.

Slightly older stuff:

It takes two - Rob Base
Sucka MC's - Run DMC (classic from like 1983)
This or That - Blacksheep
Humpty Dance - Digital Underground
Fight for you right - Beastie Boys
Anything off the Ice-T Rhymen Pays album
Fight the Power - Public Enemy
Let's Get It Started - Hammer
NWA
Gas Face - Third Base
My Melody - Eric B and Rakim
Children's Story -Slick Rick

There's also oldschool like Kurtis Blow and Grandmaster Flash. Guys like them were trailblazers but I'm not much of a fan of the music. I can appreciate it though because without them none of the other rappers would exist. I like Sugar Hill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" from 1979 and have it on vinyl.

Some Older then others.
Nas
AZ
Wu-Tang (all of them)
Biggy
Pac
Nwa
Easy E
House Of Pain
Cypress Hill
Dre Dre
Snoop
Gangstarr
Pete Roc
Run Dmc
Fat Boys
Das Efx
Maestro Fresh Wes
Eric B and Rakim
Beastie Boys
Grand Puba
Nice and Smooth
Ice-T

These are just some of the guys/groups I liked. I wish I could remember them all..

Yeah
Ghetto Boys
Ice Cube
Mobb Deep
Lost Boys
Daz
Currupt

list goes on.

I downloaded Lost Boy's "Renee" (or is it called Ghetto Love?) a few days ago. I remembered seeing the video like 7 years ago and forgot who did it. A very sad song, it's a keeper. He has a great voice and flow for that beat in that song.

Yah it's been at least 7-8 years now Dave. What are you smoking man :thumbsup

That's a hard one:
NWA
Run DMC
Big Daddy Kane
EPMD

Anything that these dude threw down has got my vote.

omg :1orglaugh

Good tune. I like the guitars in it.

I also liked biggie, he was nice.

2pac was killed in Sept 96 and Biggie was killed in March 9, 1997

nice! Whodini is it.

Iwould also say Boogie Down Productions.

Ice Ice Baby!!!

considering i grew up in the bronx and was a professional breakdancer in many videos etc... my fav jam is fearless freestyle by the fearless four or on the radio by the crash crew :pimp

kurtis blow - the breaks.. just listening to it

too short !

Does it get anymore old school that "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five?

check Sugar Hill Gang- Apache... but same time and they all made music together ;)

changes from tupac

or rock steady crew - hey you ;)
