If you are still on the "anything after gangsta rap went mainstream" shit, here is a list of albums that came out after Straight Outta Compton:

Public Enemy-Fear of a Black Planet
Beastie Boys-Paul's Boutique
MC Hammer-Please Hammer Don't Hurt Em (which had "Can't Touch This)
Slick Rick-The Adventures of Slick Rick (fist solo album)
De La Soul-3 Feet High and Rising (first album)
Tribe Called Quest-People's Instinctive Travels and Paths of Rhythem (first album)
Digital Underground-Sex Packets (first album)
Vanilla Ice-To the Extreme

This all happened a year after the FBI investigated NWA for the single "Fuck the Police"..

Also, "Yo Mtv Raps" with host Fab Five Freddy debuted in '89... It was also the first year they gave out a Grammy for Best Rap Album..

Tell me that isn't oldskool...

*edit* I could add to that list all day..
