OT: Old School rap fans????

I can't really believe that no one else mentioned Wu-Tang!

Really? That's it? Not Lauren Hill?!?!?! She is IMO the best female rapper of all time. I'll have to get some Guru on my next order. The latest was Nas: Illmatic, Nastradamus, and I Am; Common: Be, and another (can't remember the name). As far as my personal favorites; Kanye, Jay-Z, Nas, Little Wayne, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Wu-Tang..........there are more but can't think of them all. Kanye is at the top of my list all day long though!

Wu fan here, but didn't get into them that much. I'm starting to listen to them a lot more now. Snoop is a freestyle genius.

 

[wah-zoh]

BIGGIE fan here but almost all east coast rap from 90-99 give or take some years on both ends.

Biggie! ! Nice call. Gone but not forgotten.

yea NWA was sick! I'm not as much of a fan of The Game as when he was in NWA, but Snoop still has some good ones. Just to clarify with Shawna......do you love Lauren Hill or not?

Ahhh sorry didnt see your post until now,NWA yes SICk! Loved them! Snoop another lyrical god but I think if I had my own "Medical Marajuana license" Id spit some crazy lyrics too :dance:hahahaha
Anyhow Yeah the fugees back then,one of my fav from lauren Hill was (killing me softly) still love that song to this day. Another is Lauren Hill Ft bob marley...
which who is another artist I still listen to. (Turn your lights down low) So Yeah I like her.,Amazing voice.

I was into the rap stuff in the mid 80's when rap was a new thing..I never heard of this Guru guy.. The rap guys I was into were..

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five

Run DMC

LL Cool J

Kurtis Blow

KRS-One

But by far my favorite stuff were from the "Roxanne wars".. It wasn't very popular out of the NYC area,but I lived in White Plains,NY that year and was the biggest thing then..here is some info on that stuff..

But my rap phase was short,when stuff started to get nasty with the rappers in those days(filled with hate) I went a different route in music

Wow forgot about these guys! lol LL was another fav! Jeesh that man still looks like he did back then if not better!

Hahahahaha The Beastie Boys....nothing better than 3 White Boys(now three old white men) rapping up some crazy lyrics and making it somehow sound good.

hahahaha I know right!
