I still think that "Erik B and Rakim", "Big Daddy Kane" & "Rob Base" still set a very high standard in the hip hop world - here is a taster:

These three tunes still drop on the club floors .....

Erik B & Rakim:
YouTube - Paid in full - Eric B. & Rakim


The Daddy!:

Rob Base:

jp you are such a joker man thats some old skool tunes right there. this starting to show our age lol

 

have u only just figured out that he is **** lol

 

You can't spell!


Mus - It's cause they still play it at clubs today. You cannot beat the old school beats

 

hes still ****

and yes i am dyslexic but i do my best !

 

Good selection

Personally rate The Daddy as one of all time best for flow, wit and cross section of appeal. "Young, gifted and Black" and "aint no half steppin" still have it.

Re Eric B, "Follow the leader" and "Microphone Fiend" remain two of my all time favourites.

In the current ipod playlist

Gang Starr
JVC Force
King B
Nas
Boogie Down Productions

Agree re most recent hip-hop, since The Game, nobody has really sparked my interest, and much prefer older stuff.

Few grey hairs, and usually wearing a suit, but it does not stop me, and it will never will.

 

im on the same boat minus the grey hairs. i have one or two but thats down to my scooby stressing me .lol

just cant make music like back in the day, even all the comedies if you look at only fools and horses,game on, buttom one of my favourites fresh prince and the cosby show. now you got all these new things that are good but not as good as the old days thank god for chris rock
sorry bit of topic there.

jp i went out raving the other day music in the clubs are diffrent to before everyone is into grime and funky. dont get me wrong i dont mind a bit of funky but nothing beats some r Kelly or some donnel jones.
