The Old School Hip Hop Thread

[Kushna Mufeed]

Here you can share your favorite Old School Hip Hop Tracks, Artists, Albums, etc. Rule #1: Only Old School Hip Hop. In this thread that means nothing from 2000 and beyond. 1999 and before is cool. Rule #2: Only Hip Hop. Don't post about why you think Hip Hop is garbage and why whatever the fuck you listen to is so much better. No one gives a shit. And if you really think they do, go make your own thread about it. This also means no R&B, Jazz, etc. Just because there are black people in it doesn't make it Hip Hop. The majority of music I listen to is Hip Hop, but the Hip Hop scene today is 90% garbage. I can't listen to most of it, so I turn back to the good old days. A Tribe Called Quest: Busta's Lament Clap Your Hands God Lives Through Run DMC: Down With the King Naughty By Nature: Hip Hop Hooray OPP House of Pain: Jump Around Nas: Nas is Like The World is Yours Meh, I'll come up with more later

Awesome thread idea KM! I'll contribute later. I'm sure O will have PLENTY to add. Oh I see...you think just because O is black that he knows a hell of a lot of old school hip hop songs? How racist. I'm just messing with you Kichu!!!! =D =P <3

Oh I see...you think just because O is black that he knows a hell of a lot of old school hip hop songs? How racist. I know, right??! Shit. You think you know a girl, and she just bursts out with the racial profiling! *Channels Jesse Jackson* I am vehemently and utterly appalled by this injustice! Such discriminatory remarks are surely a sign that these are still times of blatant inequality and gross mis-characterization, even by our peers! Ha. Just kidding. I'll be back with some in a lil bit.

http://www.spyhop.org/sh/index.php?o...&album=2&pos=6 Me and a few others recorded what a very raw hip hop song at the nicest studio here in utah. It was written off this guitar part I made up. Everything was done with real instruments. The guy who raps is very good. We all went to the same school and teamed up to make this. enjoy. haha

[Kushna Mufeed]

Did you not read the rules? Only Old School hip hop that predates the turn of the millenium.

[dylanshmai]

oh sorry. so what you think?

Digable Planets-Flying High in the Brooklyn Sky Featuring one of my favorite guitarists, Wah Wah Watson(seen in the avatar). I just realized part of his solo is cut off in this video. Fucking lame. Tupac-Krazy This is one of my favorite songs to smoke to. Geto Boys-Still Geto Boys-My Mind is Playing tricks on me This was one of the first rap groups I ever came to really appreciate. Are Gil Scott Heron or Jedi Mind Tricks against the rules? I think I'm gonna post some anyway, I mean Gil Scott did invent rap music and Jedi mind tricks is one of the few groups still making good shit.

[Ynot]

AAAHHH, Digable Planets YES YES YES http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pK-JkHDAW7A

[StonedApe]

This shit was pre millenium Jedi Mind Tricks-Winds of War Gil Scott-B movie It's not just hip-hip, 90% of music is garbage today. Most of the living groups I listen to are jazz groups and jam bands.

[Ynot]

It's not just hip-hip, 90% of music is garbage today. nah, you just need to know where to look there's some sick artists around today

[StonedApe]

I agree, but I meant in music that gets played. The music that is represnetitive of the genre in the mind of the common man. Like when people think of rock music they think of groups like puddle of mud or avenged sevenfold. But I'm probably just to into instrumental music, which no one seems to listen to any more. I think that good stuff you gotta look for only makes up 10% More tricks for your mind And More
