1993? Hmm, that's about right...But still, it still dont sound old enuff 2 me.

I'd give it about 12 years...1990 maybe...old enuff

Good question....

Either Hot 97FM or Power 105.1 in NYC will preface a song with "Back in the day, 199_ and then play a Biggie Smalls record! Well, I guess this isn't as bad as calling it "old school" but it always sounds weird to me.

For me, old school is at least 15 years; however, I consider it to be the music I grew up listening to. So, while early Prince is old school, so is Marvin Gaye, and Sly & the Family Stone, for example.

btw, when I was growing up, a generation used to be considered a quarter of a century. Now I think it's every 20 years.

i'm only 22, so old-skool 4 me is probably around...oh, 10 years or further...

Old School means different things to different People.Musically it's at least 10-15 Years to Me.but funny thing in Sports with ESPN Jordan making that Shot in Utah back in 98 in the Finals is considered Old School.things mean different things to a whole New Generation of Ears&Eyes.

AN ARTIST MAY BE CONSIDERED OLD SCHOOL WHEN...

And only when, they graduate from producing musical pap to noteworthy classics.

Therefore {clears throat} may the following step forward to receive their Honorary Musical Certificate...

Mr Prince R. Nelson...

TWO HOURS LATER...

You boy! Yes you in the corner, Rockwell. Pick up those caps and gowns.

My two euros


PS: Even graduated to Old School.

When you here your favorite song used for a burger commercial.

Diamonds & Pearls can't be called old school, I'd say anything from the 80s and prior fits the definition better.

Old School is a sound IMO. Be it R&B or Hip Hop, when you say old school I hear it rather than think of acts. I would say the song Gimme by Jill Scott is old school even though it's only a year old. That's just the way i view it.
