Old school rap...

**wheeliE-maxx** · 10-23-2009, 05:23 PM

..is basically the only kind i'll listen to. Post up some of your favorites please. There's a dj here that does a classic mix every Friday morning and used this one song's beat i've been trying to figure out for a while. Instead of a drum or synthesizer for the beat it uses like a tuba or trombone. Very catchy tune. Anyone know the song i'm talking about? Thanks.

Nas illmatic, if you like old school rap you need to own that album. period.

wutang clan. goes without saying

biggie

tribe called quest

all that stuff isnt old school from the 80s but its 90s and it qualifies. all the rappers i mentioned all actually RAP. They are lyricists. None of that lil wayne, soulja boy, lil john bullshit

I'm sure someone will chime in on this. But (@ least for me) it's hard to do as you ask since Rap music is mostly sampled from someone elses hard work, from years before. For me old school would be Dr. Dre and snoop dog's G-thang. Or Anthrax featuring Public Enemy on attack of the killer bees album, with maybe some LL Cool J thrown in there too..

90's is included in my description. Really there is some decent stuff from the early '00s before this last shit batch of "rappers"

I'm a 2pac fan myself. If your looking for old school, you can check out cats like Biz markie.... Or take it back to the fatboy and run dmc

If you guys wanna check out some real diffent type of shit, do a search for Esham. He's from Detroit and kinda of started the Detroit scene.
