Can we really define Biggie, Tupac or anybody from the Wu as old-school? When I think old-school I think pre-1990 at least. The Normal Whores Club | |

I grew up in the 80s, so my favorite-old-school list is kind of the "second wave." In the case of acts like SNP, I'm talking about stuff like "Hot, Cool and Vicious" as opposed to "Very Necessary."  Old school, dammit!

I would... because that was during my adolescence... back when Hip Hop was still a good thing when it was innovative today it's the same song a million different ways I included Pac & Biggie because they are deceased and set trends while they were in the hip hop game and I added Method Man because his career is deceased Warren G & MC Eiht remind me of Junior High back when friends would "go half" on a cassette tape when neither had enough money to purchase... that is Hip Hop I do agree that compared to the rest of my list they just don't fit in because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." | |

Damn. I guess it's sad but true. I stuck a fork in Meth when he and Redman did that deodorant commercial.

Big Tyme is one of my all-time favorite albums. Brings back some of my fondest junior-high memories. The Heavster was like a bigger, sweeter, rappin' Morris Day back then.The Normal Whores Club | |
