Old School hip hop anyone?

I'm a fan of the old school rhymes and all, but I don't know what to look for as far as bands.

Who's the best of the best and what do you think about...

N.W.A.

Public enemy

Grandmaster Flash

Thanks guys.

Three 6 Mafia
Old Beastie Boys
Bone Thugs N Harmony
Run DMC
Old Snoop and Dre
Coolio
Ice T
2Pac
Notorious BIG

Almost every song my 36 Mafia has killer bass.

Must have classics:

Rakim - Follow The Leader

EPMD - Strictly Business
Slick Rick - The Great Adventures of Slick Rick
Big Daddy Kane - Long Live The Kane
Wu-Tang - Enter The 36 Chambres

:crying: I feel like nobody reads my posts :crying:

i was merely seconding your vote. :D

lol back then we called Run DMC, Public Enemy, and Bestie Boys "RAP" (is that what hip hop is/was?). :grinno:

Geto Boys were my all time favourite - the album F@*% YOU! made N.W.A. sound like preppy choir boys. Geto Boys are hard core rap.

NWA is one of my all time favorites.

A Tribe Called Quest (Award Tour)
Gangstarr (Talkin All That Jazz, Just to get a Rep)
Slick Rick
EPMD
Grandmaster Flash
Sugar Hill Gang
KRS1
Run DMC
Public Enemy
Eric B & Rakim
Afrika Bambaataa

Yeah, I agree, we called that "rap" back in the day. When my friends and I went to the bars in the late '80s and early '90s hip hop was: Salt n Pepa, Tone Loc, Young M C , Queen Latifah, Cameo, Rob Base, M C Hammer, Heavy D and the Boyz, Sir Mix A Lot,oh and who couldn't forget "The Humpty Dance?" That was a more danceable hip/hop, just like rock has it's different types, ( hard,metal, pop, dance,) so did hip/hop with groups like Public Enemy and Geto Boys on one end of the scale, and Salt n Pepa, and Sir Mix a Lot at the other end.

Tupac
Beastie Boys
Run DMC
B.I.G
Sir Mix A Lot

Are the Beastie Boys still considered rap? Hip Hop? Or just old skool?

Good to see his acting career taking off. Loved his "Friday" movies, and haven't seen his new one yet. Same goes for Ice-T . I like to watch him in Law & Order.

Yeh ICE Cube is a good actor along with Mos Def. Mos Def is getting into some serious films.

^^^ What a Mos Def fanboy :lol:

He's good but come on, its not like he's the greatest :D
He'd struggle to be the best in Blackstar :lol:

What are you talkin about? Where did I imply sayin he was the greatest?

Yes they still are Hip Hop - However, between 1980 - 1983 they were hardcore punk.

I saw KRS One live in Wisconsin but I didn't have "Return of the Boom Bap" back then and I was pretty drunk so I don't remember that much - but I do remember himfreestyling and saying "Fuck Nelly!" Ha, that rocked.

i'm jokin around cause its obvious he's your favorite rapper, you always hype him up
