Old Skool vs. New Gen rap/hip-hop

which beats which, which tickles ur fancy, old skool or new generation rap and hip-hop?

old skool will always be down wit me, sum new gen is alrite, but i still think old skool will always be the better.....

old school is for kickin back. A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Poor Righteous Teachers, Eric B and Rakim, etc etc...

hey i know de la soul! ✅

I like some old skool. De La Soul, Run DMC and Grandmaster Flash are legends, and I like some of the old b boy stuff like The Pharcyde.

New gen is divided for me, I hate ALL gangsta rap (with exception of Ice Cube, Pac, old Nas & Mobb Deep) but I love hardcore hip hop nowadays such as Big L, Cunninlynguists, Sage Francis and The Alkaholiks etc.

try listenin to Tech N9ne

he's really good.

i'm an older cat, therefore, i am always listening to old school s#!t - tribe, epmd, gangstarr, all the way back to sugar hill, utfo, and audio two. the only new s#!t that i listen to is post '99 underground hip hop. that is where the good stuff is - stones throw and anything that doom would post.

most of the mtv stuff is crap.

that is my opinion

also i forgot. RJD2

Deadringer is a classic.

If you're a hip-hop purist, it's old school all day. They laid the foundation... not to mention put out the best material the genre has ever produced.

haha, Sage Francis is NOT hardcore. By any means 😆

neither are Cunninlynguists, but they're great artists none the less.

Always great to see a Madsci post. They're rare, but much appreciated. He always speaks the truth and respects others opinions.

you guyz like Poor Righteous Teachers?

^^Yes, but I'm more into

Diamond D, The Juice Crew, Marley Marl, BDP, Public Enemy, Big Daddy Kane, ect ect ect

i prefer mostly old school.

like old school snopp dogg. but now he seems like a puss.

run dmc would still be awsome r.i.p jmj.

i like some of the new stuff but basicaly i prfer rap/hiphop from early 90's till 96

also Organized Konfusion. prince poetry and pharoahe monch ✅

^^word, I told Hockey about Organized Konfusion. Great group of course, but not "old school" IMO.

as much as i say shit to piss off some people (MF DOOM, you crack me up😉) i'd say old school, cos even if i dont like their music, i respect some of them for making something outa nothing. Ice T mostly cos he not only made a shit load of cash before hand but also has had a song banned by the FBI, something none of these new school "gangsta" rebles have gotten within spitting distance of doing
