Back in the day I listened to Boogiedown Productions/KRS 1 a lot, and I still like most of my favorite Whodini songs from back then, such as Friends, Five Minutes of Funk and One Love. I was into UTFO, MC Shan, early RunDMC and Brooklyn rappers such as Master Ace.

I also liked the early work of Curtis Mantronik with Mantronix but also his later, more club oriented music. Just-Ice was cool, too, especially the album that was produced by Curtis Mantronik (Back to the Old School).

Melle Mel, the Zulu Kings, EMPD, A Tribe Called Quest, Public Enemy´s early albums.

.

But I was also a big , big fan of early Westcoast rap such as the early era of Ice-T ca. 1986/1987 , early NWA and King T, Icecube, Tupac and early Snoop, but also the old stuff Dre did with the Wreckin Cru.

For some strange reason I never really got into Wu Tang Clan even though I like the occasional Ghostface or Raekwon track.

I have to listen to the rap music of the late 70's. In the 80's I was in grade school. So I grew up listening to 80's rap. Salt n pepa, Mc Lyte, Queen Latifah, Roxanne Shantay and more.

Oh, I liked those you mentioned as well.....especially Roxanne Shante and MC Lyte....her song Cappucino was good storytelling, and I liked SaltNPepa.

I like listening to the Reggae music too, later the David Levy show.

Patra, one of my favorite singers. "Family Affair", Shabba Feat. Patra. I love that song!

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

I still have some old cassettes with WBLS recordings from the mid 80s.

I had one or two from the early 90s, including Red Alert's reggae show.
