What do you prefer? Although i admit some of Eminem's songs have been decent i still prefer the old classics.
187 is one of my favourite songs.

when you said old school I thought you meant circa 1980's!!

Deep Cover is a good tune, mind you.
That particular beat was also used previously in A Tribe Called Quest's Scenario.

Yep, you need to clarify 'old school'.
Old school is generally looked at as Grandmaster Flash era.
New rap is mostly garbage.
The golden era was early to mid 90's. I must have bought 2 cd's a week at Uni on average in my first year (94)
Biggie, Nas, Snoop, Jeru were all dropping their first albums.
Wu-Tang had just come out with 36 Chambers and then they started dropping individual albums from Ol Dirty, Meth, Ghost, Rae and Gza...
It was an awesome time. I'm still in debt from it now.

You guys are going to get such a stabbing.
In my opinion anything pre 95 was old school. In the time of the young artists such as Dre Snoop, etc.

I find modern hip hop more enjoyable. Not the mainstream one, but the underground stuff. The old school sounds...well, old. I do dig some of the tunes though.
This for example:

I have a feeling we may have a very similar collection of hiphop albums - the 90s were indeed the golden era - it was all about Yo! MTV Raps once a week!
All went a bit wrong when Puff Daddy turned up with his 'hip pop' shite.
Still plenty of good stuff out there but more difficult to find as the hip hop scene went mainstream and is now dominated by bullshit.

This is all correct. The 80's was good aswell though.
