Now i'm not going to be one of those guys who say that hip hop sucks now, etc... etc.. but for some reason i have a tough time connecting with the new stuff. maybe its the marketing, the image, who knows.
Back to the point of this post, I recently stumbled across this cool blog thats all about old school hip hop and features a list of essential tracks for your collection. Check it out, me i'm gonna throw on some third bass and find me a brooklyn Queen
"cuz i'm that type of ni**a thats built to last, you mess with me i put my foot in yo ass"

I don't believe it. You did change the tag-line. :-)
There are so many old school rap tunes. My goodness, you've only got to go to the late 80s and you'd be there for 3 hours listening to the old gold.
A lot of the older tracks did cover various topics before they all got stuck on gangsta rap in the early 90s. I find that the modern stuff is geared way too much on bling, etc. Maybe that it isn't the case, but as I don't actively seek that style of music, it means I only hear what ever is on at the gym or on the radio. Hmm. Perhaps, therein lies the problem...
Ice-T and "OG", or Ice Cube-"The Predator"... Yea, you know the score. :-) Of course, none of this is played in the house whilst the little one is awake.
