I've been into old school rap since 1978, Rappers Delight, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five etc.

But Rakim is my favorite rapper of all time. Ice T being #2.

MC Breed RIP

My favorite Public Enemy song....

I'll never forget seeing Davy D, EPMD, Public Enemy, Beastie Boys and Run DMC at one concert in Reno, NV

And another super great rapper... Run

Not really rap but wow this brings back memories of 10th grade... lol

Yeah! That was great. Not old school for me though. I'm old.

Do you guys consider 1990's old school??
IMO 1987-back is old school rap.

I had to do it...

I seriously hate hip hop and rap these days, but I grew up on this shit here.

i grew up on this shit! damn gives me chillz

Never been a fan of Ice T but Rakim is my all time favorite as well, like Rakim as he always had a message in his music instead of killing someone or shake your ass like 90% of the garbage today, my runners up would be Nas, 2Pac and Biggie. I was in kindergarten in '78 so I grew up with all the old shit as well. Couple of my buddies started a break dancing crew and we would grab a sheet of cardboard and face off at the bowling alleys starting from the 4th-5th grade. They offered to teach me how to do it good but I was more into the music so I never became as good as them but I used to make the mix tapes for the faceoffs with the old school ghetto blaster, this thread makes me wanna buy one again.
