What old school hip hop songs bring back childhood memories for you? I went and visited my mom at my childhood home earlier this evening to have some dinner and I looked in her garage where she packs all the old stuff from my youth and I went exploring. I found an old shoebox full of mix cassette tapes. I hadn't seen these tapes in years and I just got excited. I still have an old school tapedeck connected to my stereo system just for stuff like this. I just finished listening to one of the mix tapes. It started with 911 is a joke by public enemy, then it had Mentirosa by Mellow Man Ace, then it had OPP by naughty by nature, followed by Back In THe Day and I wish I was a little Bit taller, and then It had Only You by Kwame, and Lucas With The Lid Off and ended with Father MC I'll Do For you. This shit took me straight back to Jr. High! Man I can't wait to get back to the rest of these Mix tapes. So any old school hip hop take you back to your youth? Carpenters bend wood, fletchers bend arrows, wise men fashion themselves.

 that song got me to love rap music. And Close to the Edit by Art of Noise, one of my favs to "pop n loc" to. 
that just made me feel old....  WORD!!! ROCK BOX is my all time favorite rap/Hip-Hop song! 1984 was the best year ever!!! I was in the 6th grade...The Wonder Years...  ..."think from a positive place, and eliminate the negative fate"...

Rappers' Delight. Chic's "Good Times" sample reminded me of when dancing was a thing you did when you felt the music, not something you rehearsed for three weeks to do. I miss the disco era for that. may u live 2 see the dawn | |

that just made me feel old.... The funny thing is that I was watching a documentary on Hip Hop a few months ago and "Walk This Way" by Run-DMC was credited with being the first time Rap was mixed with Rock & Roll. I laughed my ass off because I remembered Rock Box and then The King Of Rock on the follow up album. Run-DMC always had a Rap/Rock & Roll jam on their albums back in the day. Rock Box was the shit though. may u live 2 see the dawn | |

:latebloomer: I recorded the Joeski tune on tape from Foxy 99 in Fayetteville. I found the other on a mixtape cassette in the middle of the street! I couldn't believe my luck, cuz I loved La Di Da Di and had no money to buy it on my own. Blanche: Oh, I do love the rain so! It reminds me of my first kiss.

The rap songs that bring back childhood memories are actually THE biggest crossover hits from the genre that a person could name.

I have Bad Boys on vinyl somewhere. Are you ever on AIM anymore? | |
