System 9 years 2 months ago Posts: 74809	I might be getting into the early 90s a bit here, but here are some I used to listen to: The Fresh Prince, Young MC, Kid N Play, Grandmaster Flash, Tone Loc, Arrested Development, TLC, Salt N Pepa, LL Cool J, Biz Markie, Digital Underground, Falco (if you're into foreign stuff), Naughty By Nature, Sir Mixalot, Snap, Soul 2 Soul, Technotronic, Def Leppard, Faith No More, The Beastie Boys... I can't think of more off the top of my head at the moment.

System 9 years 2 months ago Posts: 74809	Are we forgetting that, in the '80s (and early '90s), such distinctions did not exist between rock and hip-hop? Def Leppard and Faith No More both did some great hip-hop. Dance music of the time was the branch of hip-hop which held onto its disco roots, unlike today. Falco was hip-hop, but only if you don't think of hip-hop as only an urban American thing. Of course, one should never limit hip-hop to urban America, because that was only a small slice of it at the time (unlike now, when you can't even find hip-hop whose direct descendant isn't today's Gangsta rap).

System 9 years 2 months ago Posts: 74809	I always liked EPMD. The album Strictly Business is one of my favs. It's also one of the 3x collection in my library. By 3x, I mean this album, like only a handful of others were so played and wore out, I had to eventually buy them on CD for an everlasting copy. I was usually really big with albums, then later on with cassette tapes. Finally making the switch to CD. So not very many groups ever got a chance to be in my 3x collection. And now I just buy CDs.

System 9 years 2 months ago Posts: 74809	I agree about the current state of hip-hop. The last time I REALLY listened to it was in the mid-90's. I'm still a HUGE "Tribe Head". Since we're on a 90's tip now, don't forget Souls of Mischief, Onxy, The Pharcyde, Fu-Schnickens, Leaders of the New School, Camp Lo........GREAT MEMORIES! "Ol' Skool is the best school!" "Relax yourself, girl please set-tle down.........." "This is it, WHAT?!! Luchini fallin' from the sky. Let's get rich, WHAT?!!...." "Party people....party people.....can y'all get funky?"
