Dr.Dre - Nuttin But A G Thang
Snoop Dogg - Gin and Juice
Notorious BIG - Juicy
Coolio - Gangsters Paradise ( not sure if thats considered to be 'rap' or not)
Nwa - **** Tha Police
2pac and Snoop - 2 America's Most Wanted

Late 80's early 90's

If Triumph is old school to you, then what do you consider NWA?

Anyway

Del tha Funkee Homosapien - Mistadobalina
Da Lench Mob - Guerrillas in the Mist

Anything off Run DMCs Raising Hell CD. And Beastie Boys is a way to look too.

Childrens Story OWNED!!1!

[DegenerationY]

HAHA what the hell.... why are people putting rap from the mid 90's and after when we're talking about old-school shit?

Are people really that stupid :mad:

And in regards to old school rap/rock stuff, I think it was pretty interesting.

I especially liked "Judgment Night" by Onyx and Biohazard. Catchy as hell.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

old school onyx rules

they were grimey before it become a fad

[DaveWadding]

They were grimey before N.O.R.E. made it pop.

[The Outlaw]

SLAM! duuh duuh duuh duuh duuh duuh Let the boys be boys!


*bobs head*

[Supreme Olajuwon]

their new CDs are awful though. Sticky Fingaz' solo album was the shit but Fredro's sucked

[Kris P Lettus]

You should have told me before I bought it..

:(

I liked Firestarr...

p.s.DegenerationY, download "Just Another Victom" by Helmet and House of Pain.. That whole soundtrack ruled but that was my favorite track..

[Savio]

What was the first rap song and what year was it made?

[DaveWadding]

Sugar Hill Gang; Rapper's Delight 1982

[Funky Fly]

That's the first one to get any real recognition in the music biz, but ther are songs dating back from the late 70s. I'm pretty sure Zulu Nation and Afrika Bambaata were there at the time.

:y:

"Rap" was a gradual start from soul/funk/RnB... All I know for fact is, Grand Master Flash & The Furious Five "The Jungle" is considered the first "rap" video...

*EDIT*

p.s.Afrika Bambaata and Zulu nation didn't "rap"... Soul Sonic Force did..

:cool:

[Bad Guy]

Mo' Money Mo' Problems featuring Ma$e and B.I.G.

[Kid Robb]

I know Mase got out of rap after he found Jesus, but he had some talent, some of his stuff is pretty good.

[Paranoid Rattlesnake]

Coolio - Gangstas Paradise

[DegenerationY]

Just downloaded the Helmet/House of Pain song, and even as a Helmet fan (albeit only for the last couple years) I didn't know about this song :mad:

Awesome song :D

[Bad Guy]

:D Yes he did. He was my favorite. Him and BIG were the only reasons I listened to rap, now I don't give a crap for it.
