Well most "old school" rap I think was lyrically motivated...but at the same time there were still people even in the "old school" goign mainstream or whatever hence...vanilla ice....blah blah your always going to have those fake mainstream rappers that are going to sell records because aint everyine in the U.S or the world for that fact trying to hear dictionary references in their rhymes but just something to listen and dance to...But my all time fav old school album is De La Soul - De La Soul is Dead.. Yeah hott shit :thumbup:

true...all are classic as of now....
but them kats ain't true old skool... they were the beginning of the newschool artists

someone just got they ghetto pass revoked



vanilla ice?!!!!! you oughtta be shot for putting that wack ass attempt of being an emcee in the same category of folks like rakim, public enemy, krs-one, just-ice, mc shan, old big daddy kane, fat boys, run dmc, and stetsasonic!!! he is nowhere near being old school

^^^^^^i know that im saying people like his hence....today you got jay-z, nas, etc......then out of nowhere you got a j-kwon our bow wow selling as many records as these dope rappers..i dont put him anywhere in thee league im just talking about what sells ....unfortunately

I like Old School Rap better at times....(NWA, Too Short, Run DMC, & More)

hands him back his ghetto pass... we'll let you off with a warning this time... don't let it happen again
