The Old School Hip Hop Thread

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

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! :pissed:

Ha. Just kidding. I'll be back with some in a lil bit. :content:

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

Did you not read the rules?

Only Old School hip hop that predates the turn of the millenium.

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.

AAAHHH, Digable Planets
YES YES YES :bowdown:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pK-JkHDAW7A

This shit was pre millenium

Jedi Mind Tricks-Winds of War

Gil Scott-B movie

It's not just hip-hip, 90&#37; of music is garbage today. Most of the living groups I listen to are jazz groups and jam bands.

nah,
you just need to know where to look
there's some sick artists around today

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&#37;

More tricks for your mind
And More

Oh. Is racial profiling wrong???

:P

Actually, I noticed a while back that I really like O's taste in music and that he's really into it, so I knew for sure he'd have lots to contribute.

That, and yes, he's black, soooo...... :D

Less racial profiling, more old school hip hop.

WHAT??? I don't like the requirements of this thread. Hmph!

Pshh. I have no time for your petty complaints. You can see yourself to the "Other New Posts" button. Begone, woman. :P

Some essentials:
Coolio-Gangsters Paradise

Public Enemy-FIGHT THE POWER

Mos Def-Umi Says

How do all the chronic smokers in this thread feel about the Kottonmouth Kings? A lot of people in my town like them a lot, but I think they suck. It's just like a lame version of Cypress Hill. Their music isn't smooth at all.

And I almost forgot the E.
Eazy E-Nuts on Ya Chin

yeah, begon woman. we don't need you're racist ass here. Go listen to you're britnay spears or you're Kanyee West.

Woah, woah, woah! I was joking around with kichu. I highly doubt she's racist.

And respect to Kanye. He's one of the few mainstream artists that puts out any good tracks these days.

Thanks KM. :)

No problem, hon.

Afrika Bambaataa - Planet Rock
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hh1AypBaIEk

Dr. Dre feat Snoop Dog - "Nuthin but a 'G' Thang"

The song that got me into rap.

Snoop's mellow flow and that sick hook were the fucking truth.

Pete Rock - The Creator

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=VRl78By1ZqA

Hijack - The Badman is Robbin'
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=q6jiYb-oikE

Dr. Dre was a musician. Kanye West is a egotistical fraud with the musc writing skills of Brittney Spears (no joke here, you can literally compare the two in a few category's).

And the guy CANNOT sing. THE END. THE END. THE F'N END.

you don't believe me? this showcases his horrible singing, dancing, music writing, and the auto-tuning which still doesn't seem to hide the horrible artifacts in his voice.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcAnVZ3PUa0

In the interviews he compares himself to Pink Floyd or The Beatles! and says that he recreated Auto-Tune! BS (Cher, Electronic music, pop, Brittney Spears). He was even booed off stage at Bonaroo.

Get the fuck out of here. This is not a "Why I hate Kanye West" thread. No one gives a shit. Go make your own thread.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_1bZ7zSvHEs

I never said I hated him, I was just pointing out the obvious to those who might not have been smart enough to see it in the first place, thus the reason why have no respect for a talentless money maker.
