So much good old hip hop.

Excursions by ATCQ is one of my favorites

"And appreciated, cause were ever so glad we made it
We work hard, so we gotta thank god
Dishin out the plastic, do the dance till you spastic
If you dis... it gets drastic
Listen to the rhymes, cuz it's time to make gravy
If it moves your booty, then shake, shake it baby"

One of the best flows in hip hop history

Anything from Tribe is bomb. Get some stuff from the D.O.C., De La Soul, Eric B. and Rakim, Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth, Naughty By Nature, Jurassic 5, and the teacher, KRS-One.

Any word on when their new albums are dropping this year? I saw claims from both saying that this year there will be a muddy waters 2 and method's album will be called crystal meth. Possibly a Blackout 3 droppin too.

Anyways, lately i've been bumping this

Children Of The Corn (Early Big L, Cam'ron and Mase)
Bomb Squad (Early Jadakiss and Sheek Louch)
Flesh Of My Flesh, Blood Of My Blood by DMX
HNIC by Prodigy
Warriorz by MOP
Double Up By Mase
Ruff Ryders Volumes
Any LOX (Not their first album as much)
Old Fabolous freestyles.

Not much else, I used to like 90's stuff but I moved much more towards newer stuff, so I'll just continue listening to Slime Flu 2 & 3.

To add to that:


That song just makes me want to bust heads.

Nas would be working the streets still if it wasn't for Serch:



Same goes for these guys if it wasn't for KRS:





That classic oldschool sound:



Classic Eric B and R:



Pre Wu-Tang RZA and a spin off collective of Stetsasonic. Back when Horrorcore rap was developing:





That's that grimy sounding hip hop. I'm stoked Tribe was mentioned right away!







What's oldschool without Big Daddy:



The best of the oldschool, before anyone what hippity hop was:



I don't understand how people can listen to that new shit when this stuff is still around. Oldschool for days.

MF DOOM. "When she's on the rag never let her fry the ragu." Aha, has to be one of my most favourite lines from a song ever.

Anything E&A is gold, but I had never heard that first one. Sooo sick! RIP Eyedea.

This one video contains so much hip hop greatness. I love it. It's like a rap museum.
