Old School vs New School
 

Time for the classic debate between old and new shit. You rapper's got any comments bout this?

Yeah, trying to differentiate between the artistic integrity of Old School and New School is beyond retarded.

different era..different style...it'll never work..it's like comparing..whore and a slut...

old skool is better its just the general flow of the music with the words and the lyrics....... pure geneis, take a look at N.W.A or otha old skool rap there words flow with the music

old school rap was originial...now rap is da same thing ova again...

^^^
yeah true everything to do with new skool now is just about the money then about rap !!!!!!!!!!!!!

one of the poll answers should say
"same difference"
then you'd get every1 to poll...

i think some thing in between is right where it should be

its personal preference. Like what you want, no need for poll :)

i like the whole era from around 93-98
that's when the best hip-hop was around, cause that's when you started getting different styles, and more serious mc's.

OLD SCHOOL CURRENT RAP SUX.... CEPT BIS....PEace

Name an artist selling now that would be able to have 1/2 his/her current succes when:

Paid in full came out, Big Daddy Kane was at his high, Kool Mo Dee and LL battle was at its top, KRS One was getting some air play...

yea exactly...

Yeah, rap these days is just gettin so played all the songs are about the same damn thing cash cars clothes and hos ugh it just gets old...old school was way illa

Who gives a fuck? just listen to what you enjoy

Old Skoo Is Better With Snoop Pac Dre New Skoo Is Bout To Get Popular But Not By Much

Yo, old school is all about skill an' flow. While now a days, you could suck ass but if you hang around with the right group then you'll sell records.

i liked the old school better.. i feel like the old school rappers brought more skills to the table

new skool cause of the beats

damn potent read the pms i sent you man

Old school... had the beats.. and the dope flow..
New school.. brings more creativity.. always new styles..

cant really compair them cause rap has elavated since then. from lyrics to beats there has been to much change.

but i would rather listen to my old CDs then anything on the radio.

Nwa, =)..

Oldscool ..for the vibe and iunno its just more 'real' new shit is mostly beat no content, some has content.. most not.

i grew up basically into new school... but recognizin old skool cats such as Rakim, Ice Cube, and Slick Rick... i agree back then they had creativity and flow and it was just PURE hip hop.

new school is like "Follow the leader" if the thang is too sing about being in a club, the whole industry will sing about being in the club... get it? yea

But in the New School, you can still find a good source of music... like the "Hustlin'" bein expressed before a million times but a few new skool niggas will express it in a diffrent term bringin' a diffrent side to things... like JayZ or Nas

But new school dosent seem to have any lyrical presence at all... except 4 a few

mostly to me, old skool raps bring back memories, you know like shit you
were wearing, ya slang then, peeps you kicked with that you prolly don't now

old school and new school are tight
but i gotta pick new

There's no way you can even put them in the same category. The game has evolved way too much to even make an assumption or guess on the subject.
