can you guys recomend some old school rappers to look up?

i recently got satilite radio and there a station with old school rap. And i have now come to the conclusion i love old school rap...Any recomendations?

Slick Rick.

I like videogames.

Big Daddy Kane, A Tribe Called Quest, Organized Konfusion, OC, Big L, Gang Starr, Eric B. and Rakim, KRS One, De La Soul and Public Enemy.

These are really great artists that were in their prime early 90's

Hope you have Spotify.

Edit --  On second thought, the original version of White Lines is better.  Does the Spotify playlist change for everyone else when I edit it on my PC?

By old, do you mean early 90's...or early to late 80's? If it's the 80's, I don't see how anyone can listen to that stuff today; it has aged sooooooooo much. I recommend Illmatic though, only thing Nas ever did worth listening to.

Vanilla Ice created some "Phat Beats" as I believe they are reffered to. 

Want old school, how 'bout Sugarhill Gang?

It's an absolute crime that no one has mentioned Ultramagnetic MCs

That's it.....

tupac is one of the few rappers i like.. also the only rapper i know that would be considered "old school" by some.

Eazy-E, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and Notorious B.I.G. anyone?

Grandmaster Flash. Look up "The Message".

Starts and ends with the Notorious B.I.G.

It doesn't actually end with Biggie, but I could live off of only his music

This

"Marky Mark son. Best rapper of all time. "

Screw all of yous who deny the awesomeness that is Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. Honestly, "Good Vibrations" is one of my favorite songs ever.

Um, I think Fr0Br0 got a good group of artists going. I dunno what you're looking for specifically. Like 80's rap, back when it was still a start-up genre? Or 90's gangsta rap or what?

If 80's rap music is your thing (and It has aged well- besides great movies, music is possibly the only thing that'll never age) check Big Daddy Kane, Kurtis Blow, Grandmasta Flash, Afrika Bambaataa and the Soulsonic Force, Ice-T (his old stuff is way different from his "gangsta" stuff), Captain Rock,Melle Mel, 3rd Bass, Beastie Boys (of course),Run DMC, Richie Rich, Marley Marl, Digital Underground, Doug E. Fresh, Fab 5 Freddy, LL Cool J, Cold Crush Brothers, and the entire soundtrack album to the greatest hip-hop movie ever, Wild Style.

90's gangsta rap is different but amazing as well- anything by any member of NWA is worth listening to, I feel. Also see: Snoop Doggy Dogg ("Doggystyle"), Ice T, Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Geto Boys, Wu-Tang Clan, Nas and pretty much anything from Radio Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.

Love this thread, easily my fave in the past few months.
