Sheeh.. Old-skool is not freaking Nate Dogg and Wu-Tang!

Here are some CLASSICS:

LL Cool J - Bad
LL Cool J - I Can't Live Without My Radio
Grand Master Flash & The Furious Five - The Message
Run DMC - King of Rock
Doug E. Fresh - La Di Da Di
Kurtis Blow - Basketball

Some other songs/albums that you could consider the new old school:

Public Enemy - Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos (actually, just about ANYTHING by PE)
NWA - Straight Outta Compton (the entire record)

Actually true, but for "me", I refer to old-school as in when I first started to listen to hip hop (I know that it's not THAT old-school what the majority people talk about ) Let's say, old-skool = classics, some other ones:

LL Cool J - Mama said knock you out
Onyx - Slam (great for b-ballin')
Rakim - Guess who's back (one of the best beats ever)

anyone remember Kris Kross - Jump Jump? I'm not considering it as old-school, just an old, funny track

 

[Farbio]

you've missed some major good ones!
wreckx-n-effex - rumpshaker
skeelow - anything, but especially, wish i was a baller

 

[gotsmack]

Sir Mix A Lot - Bounce

 

[Aceshigh]

I really hate rap. But the one song I really like, I don't know the name of it, but its that really old one where they go "It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from going under" and then it talks about going to the store for a bottle of kaopectate. Anyone know the song I mean?

Grandmaster Flash, considered one of the founding fathers of rap. Awesome. I can't remember much..."roaches in the alley with a baseball bat."

The Message. I posted some lyrics from it earlier up. Excellent choice.

Edit to fix the links. Anybody check the lyrics on that link. I don't exactly remember it that way. I know some of the words are wrong, but some I'm not too sure.

 

[DoNotDisturb]

anything from snoop dog back then or 2pac's first albums.

 

[SupaDupaCheez]

I thought My addidas was Run DMC? Its on Raising Hell

I stand corrected

I got caught up in all of this old skool stuff that I got my playahs mixed up!

Now THAT is oldskool!!!

Can't forget the FIRST rap song (by a white biaaatch)!!!
Blondie - Rapture


What.....no FAT BOYS? My Adidas
What.....no Whodini? Freaks Come Out At Night
What.....no Whodini? (I already said that didn't I?) Big Mouth
LL Cool J....I'm that type of guy
Diabolical Biz Markie - Just a Friend (ok.....VERY commercialized but still 'rap')

'Yes people.....he is a child of the 80's'

Now where is my Young MC CD...........

SDC

I agree Jam on it is one of my favorite old school raps.

 

[GasX]

OMg - what passes for "Old School" these days...

Old School = 80's rap - more specifically early 80's rap.

My vote goes to Run DMC - It's Like That

 

[gtsukada]

funky little beat - connie
siberian nights - twilight 22
egypt egypt - egyptian lover
trinere, debbie deb, planet patrol

oh so much to list . . . i'm down with all the old school funk

 

[xXgambitXx]

Geto Boys - "Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta"
aaaw yeah, Office Space style

He said OLD School, not today at school...

 

[Supermercado]

Only know a couple (not a fan of rap), but LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out"

 

[HombrePequeno]

Best? That's a tough one. I'd go with The Message but Rapper's Delight takes a close second.

 

[Zebo]

Anything by Public enemy of old.

Public Enemy - Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos
Public Enemy - Louder Than a Bomb
Public Enemy - Public Enemy Number 1
Public Enemy - Sophisticated Bitch
Public Enemy - Olds 98

 

[Chaotic42]

Well, if Fantasic Voyage is too new, then maybe something like The Humpty Dance or maybe Funky Cold Medina (I have no idea what the name of that song is, that's what it sounds like to me)

 

[SirChadwick]

Dr Dre- Dre Day

Cuz Snoops part is da shiznit...Bow wow wow yippee yo yippee yay!
