ricojes Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I was in my car yesterday and heard "White Lines" by Grand Master Flash and it brought back memories from my high school basketball team. There was always rap playing in the locker room. Some of my favorites were "The Show" by Doug E. Fresh and "Basketball" by Kurtis Blow. Anyone else enjoy a little old school rap back in the day?

ricojes Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 I was too young, but today I started my day with a little Gangstarr. I can't get into today's rap "songs". Old school is where it's at...Fat Boys, Run DMC, Public Enemy, Kool Moe Dee, The Sugarhill Gang....lol, those are just classics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullpen Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Oh man, I used to love that old school stuff. Run DMC, PE, 3rd Bass, LL Cool J, etc... coming from the most lily-white part of New York State, it was hard to get our hands on rap CDs when they were released. Typically took a week or two before we would get most stuff. Sometimes when I'm mowing the lawn in "Suburbia, Colorado" with my IPod on listening to PE, EPMD or KRS-One I laugh to myself at the irony of it all. A thirty-something white man mowing his lawn listening to old school rap... mingia that's funny to me. I saw Public Enemy at BB Kings in NYC two weeks ago. They were doing a show in honor of Flavor Flav's 50th Birthday! Man did that show bring back some memories! It was really cool seeing them in a small intimate venue. Ice T even made a cameo appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 40 and had a strong dislike to any R&R music. Here is what was hot in the heyday (early to mid 80's) Africa Bambaataa-- Looking for the Perfect Beat Newcleus--Jam On It.

Chef Jim Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 More like 14 minute shift......unless that wasn't coke you were snorting. No it was 14 hours and that line was the first of many. And then it was several large Jacks to get me to sleep at the other end. I'm surprised I survived that mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 No it was 14 hours and that line was the first of many. And then it was several large Jacks to get me to sleep at the other end. I'm surprised I survived that mess. I don't even know if I should touch this subject. Way too many hours awake and not enough sleeping. Those days are way behind, at least for now anyways. Back to the original topic, ya, BDP, Eric B & Rakim, Kool Moe Dee, Big Daddy Kane, NWA, Kwame, Rob Base, Heavy D. Ya, I use to rock to these guys. Let me kick it old skool I wanna rock right now I'm Rob Base and I came to get down I'm not internationally known But I'm known to rock the microphone Because I get stoopid, I mean outrageous Stay away from me if you're contagious 'Cause I'm the winner, no, I'm not the loser To be an M.C. is what I choose 'a Ladies love me, girls adore me I mean even the ones who never saw me Like the way that I rhyme at a show The reason why, man, I don't know So let's go, 'cause It takes two to make a thing go right It takes two to make it outta sight Hit it!
