OT: Link, I'm going to share with golden rap era fans two great songs
- Thread starter Mr. Potter
- Start date
Your videos are going to start feuding. You shouldn’t have Kool Moe Dee and LL that close together. How you like me now! Haha.
And the race to see who can prove they’re the oldest and whitest is off to fast start!
The single greatest and most influential rap song ever (from the rap pre-golden era)...
Old white woman exposes self as inconsequential. Get to steppin'.
It's tough to beat Special Ed ...
As a lily white kid from a lily white rural/suburban area in PA, my fascination with R&B and Hip Hop started when I was being driven home from a school dance by my parents, and Bobby Brown's "Don't Be Cruel" came on the radio. From there I was hooked, and I quickly dove down into the rabbit hole of R&B, and then Hip Hop.
I was quickly introduced to:
They were my 2nd concert, after Living Color
I could post more of the typical mainstream rap videos, but here's one that me and my boys loved, even though we didn't fully understand the message at the time ... we were more concerned that we all had our parts to rap during the car ride:
The nomination of Poor Righteous Teachers means you know your rap. Way under rated.
Eric B & Rakim was/is the greatest (IMO).
I will not post the video due to NSFW language, but Ice-T L.G.B.N.A.F is classic.
I'm trying to figure out if there is any other way to take this other than incredibly f*g racist?
Don’t spend too much time thinking about it - there isn’t any other way to take it.
I am and always have been a D-Train fan.
Agree with Erik B and Rakim as well as the others listed. I'll add Kurtis Blow and Slick Rick
I was not a rap fan at all growing up but I have come to appreciate some of the rap that I disregarded at the time. This is one that I love and even admitted to liking at the time.
I used to listen to Black Sheep all of the time. Them and Tribe called Quest. I was split between this and house music.
Introducing the man, the myth, the legend ... Tupac Shakur ...
Okay, I lied. You made me think of some others that weren't rap, but of that "era". Hubert Eaves the III(D-Train and Mtume) is from St. Paul, Mn.
