as my passion for oldschool rap continues to grow further apart from the so called "rap" of today, I have been trying to find a variety of artists to listen to. post your favourite artist and/or songs, or comments on your views towards oldschool rap vs. newschool "rap"
 
ill start it off with the classics :

Notorious BIG

Nas

Wu-Tang Clan

NWA

Big L

Gangstarr

Tupac

and as for views on newschool vs. oldschool rap:

it seems to become easier as the years go by to make it as a rap/hip hop artist. take t-pain for example. to make a popular song now-a-days, all you need is a catchy chorus, and his computerized voice, noone cares about the (so-called) verses. look into the oldschool rap, its all about flow, rhymes, imagery, beat, and the over-all meaning/story behind the song.

im positive that ^ was not said as well as it could have been so post your opinion
 
Obviously everyone won't agree with me and everyone is entitled to their own opinion but this is what I consider good Old and New school rap.

Old School-I consider these albums classic, all around amazing albums. I can sit back, listen to all these albums straight through and just bob my head.
Nas-Illmatic, It Was WrittenAZ-Doe or DieRed Man-Whut? Thee AlbumMethod Man-TicalRaekwon-Only Built 4 Cuban LinxBig L- Lifestyles ov da Poor and Dangerou, The Big PictureBig Pun-Capital Punishment Notorious-Ready to Die, Life After DeathKRS-One-A RetrospectiveWu-Tang-Enter the Wu-Tang
New Shcool-Obviously for the New School it's going to be mostly underground because most music that's playing on the radio is Hip-Pop and auto-tuned bullshit.
Lupe-The Cool, Food & Liquor, All his mixtapesProbably my favorite New School rapper. Amazing lyricism, doesn't rap about guns, sex and drugs constantly and he can tell a crazy story.Celph Titled-The GatalogOne funny ass rapper who can come up with some sick multi syllabic rhymes and has sick punch linesAtmosphere-There Whole DiscographySlug is a sick MC who can write a good story and has great lyricism and Ant can lay down a solid beat.
That's pretty much all the New School rap I listen too and for Old School that's not my entire list but I'm pretty tired, need to do my homework, I have class at 9:20 tomorrow and frankly I'm too high to focus
 
yeah the biggie album "Duets: The final chapter" is pretty dope,
My faves are:1970 somethin'Living the LifeLiving in PainJust a memory
these arn't really classics but i just thought i'd share
You need to add Tribe to the list, Gangstarr is a pretty classic if i dont saysomyself. ;) I know i'll be getting alot of shit for this, but MF DOOM, imo, is a classic--or close to it. for quite a while know he's been throwing out the sickest most complex rhymes out there. Check out his new album.Ballskin - MF DOOM - Born like thisAbsolutely - MF DOOM - Born like thisVomitspit - MF DOOM - MM..Food
Hope this embed works..

 
Ballskin Lyrics
HMMMM
The flow was to' in precision as an afro trim
All big letters but isn't no acronym
Smack the thin grin off a tin for crack smokin
DDT the first bar, leave this track back broken
Chrome grown man doin business with anglo-sax'n'them
Lackin swing but that banjo's so relaxin
As the wax spin, hackin axes in the wind
Pretend it's just a pen; see if you can pencil 'em in
Tense, mention men of honor fenced in
Census is tens, the wheels fall off then it's the end
Don't get keelhauled in
Villain always been, feel real genuine ballskin
Not to call the whole crowd out
It's just a few chumps, and you know who you are like a shoutout
Place 'em in your loud mouth and taste 'em like a pastry
Waste of space face hastily bow out gracefully
Disappear, reappear and disappear again
Villain knot his hair, he's no afro-american
If that's the case he be a bald-headed African
Takin all the credit and jetted, astro travellin
Turn a man into a mannequin for AFLAC'n
And bein tough actin Tinactin bluff jackin
He wears a mask so any dog's his face
Each and every race, could absord the bass
In the place to be, don't believe the hyperbole
It's like a murder spree, get sniped verbally
Or beat in the head with lead pipe languages
For street cred leave him for dead in anguishments
The slang suggest it was a guy in the glasses
Who came to help the people with they minds and they asses
You set trip and get a grip like Spalding
These walls is thin, feel genuine ballskin [echoes]

Vomitspit LyricsIT's the beat
He hear it in his sleep sometime
Blare it in your jeep so your peoples can stare at them rhymes
Real rhymes not your everyday hologram
Even when ribs were touchin never swallowed the Ham
He'd rather eat a sand sandwich salad
It might need salt like your mans bland ballad
A lot of stuff happens that the news won't tell yous
Loose all L juice
Snooze all hell loose
Rake it
Take it like the good, the bad, the ugly
Break it rollin through ya hood in the cadi buggy
Butter softy, leather flossy, fatty juggy
Always threw me off when she told me daddy funk me
I'm like anywho's
Seeds walkin all out in street with out any shoes
I guess it's better than some funky socks
You need to get her some skips before she catch the monkey pocks
Instead she wants to hear the beatbox
Take pills and make fake krills as sheetrock
Sing it
Bring it back to your laboratory
While he's in his oratory
Glorious like a horror story
The mask is like Jason
They told the place not to let the basket type case in
He could be some kind of wacko
Waiting for the chance to heat the pipes like a crack hoe
He busted in
Blessed be the lord
Who believe any mess then read up on the message board
If so I got bridges for the low low
Same bitch a go dry snitchin to the popo
Yeah orange peal stoges for the hotel
Feel like I have been gone over a year came home to old gear
It was the shit when I first scooped it
At least I get to sit out in New York and curse stupid
Plead the fifth
Sip wine stiffly
Patiently come up and be spiffy in a jiffy
Gift for the grind
Criminal mind shifty
Swift with the nine through a fifty nine fifty
Well edjumacated he heard it when he meditated
In deep data had her hate the create plata
Dedicated cheap skata who keeps data
Sage stayed self medicated and sleep later
Side effects is similar to sugar pill
Who eva go next on the mic he put a bugger ewwww
And made his exit on some calm shit
Begged him on the regular for kegs of more Vomitspit
 
Old school stuff doesn't change much so most of it has already been said.

good "newschool" stuff is people under the stairs, slaughterhouse, atmosphere, jedi mind tricks, immortal technique and then any of the old school rappers with new stuff (nas, az, reakwon, jay z kinda, mos def)
 
why the fuck would you get shit for sayin DOOM is good? he is one of the most respectable rappers out there, and is a given as a classic. every intelligent hip hop head out there knows he can spit
 
dont post in these threads anymore. that Doom CD came out like 6 months ago. while its got a lot of old cuts its sill pretty far from oldschool.

u wanna hear some oldschool...
