Old chool is when the sugar hill gang was rocking the mic. Even tho im only 18 I love all the hits before my time.

[Renny Djscoop Lewis]

I was born in 1986...but my father and uncle raised me listening to everything in the world because they were DJ's and my oldest brother just a huge hip-hop head back when it was hip-hop not rap!!! i love my throw back jams from the 90's but old school to me is classic tunes before my era and anyone of these newer cats era's. the list below is just what i would consider old school off the top of my head.

The S.O.S. Gap Band
Mase & Frank Beverly
Teena Marie (not to be confused with tierra marie)
Cameo
Prince
Mark Morrison
The Undisputed Truth
Raze
Bohannon
Michael Jackson
Zhane
Chaka Khan
Lakeside
Parliment & The Funkadelics

thats just some of them i can go on for days about old school music because it still goes so much harder in the clubs if you know how to mix it in right.

[Renny Djscoop Lewis]

I saw as a group we should build the biggest collection of old school music ever known to man and make an entire 100 volume set out of it!!!!!

I THINK BACK TO THE ISLEY BROTHERS "IN BETWEEN THE SHEETS" AND PRINCE AND WHO COULD FORGET MIDNIGHT STAR, KOOL AND THE GANG. THAT WAS REAL MUSIC

I came in around the time hip-hop was very young, circa 1978 or so...I consider old-school to be around the merge of hip-hop and R & B of the 70's...The 80's could be considered when hip-hop was a young kid and the 90's, we could consider hip-hop's teen years....Now all grown up, hip-hop has turned for it's "old-school" history...It's like when teenagers and young adults don't want to be around their parents because they think the parents are "old-school" and corny....That is what is happening to hip-hop right now....Everybody wants to be the coolest, instead of embracing the old-school....I think it would be an insult to call music from 2000 and forward as "new-school" That would not be a unfair connection because I am not sure what these cats are doing now-a-days!

[DJ KRUNK]

Mid 80's early def jam artist. Also Run Dmc and of course Eric B. and Rakim.

[THE X]
