Old School Hip Hop Thread

[Chris180Z]

So i'm looking for some 90s American hard hip-hop. Can anyone make any good suggestions?

Here are some I have been listening to recently that sound good. I've noticed I seem to prefer the NY sound.

Not exactly what I had in mind given the examples I provided. They are too mainstream, meaning, of course I have heard of them . I am looking for more underground stuff I haven't heard of yet.

I don't think you will like all of them OP, most of this is from the West side, but I loved these songs

[stonerdyke]

I know everyone hates these guys for various reasons, but some of their lyrics are actually really clever, they are ace rappers, fat bass lines, theres so much going on in the songs like little samples or random laughs in the background, it just brings the songs together. I swear some songs I hear something new everytime I listen,
But they dont deserve all the bullshit they get, just cuz they wear the clown make up, there is SO MUCH stuff they can incorporate into their music because of that...
I wonder if theyd be less hated if they kept their original name.... Inner City Posse

Hello! New to the forum and on BitCoin. I saw this off topic thread about old school Hip Hop. My favorites among them are Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Eminem.

[Chris180Z]

Fantastic songs cryptasm & gweedo! Just what I was looking for .

I love the Fugees song you posted gweedo. It's a bit different to the rest of 90s hip hop. Truly a unique group compared to the rest of hip hop at the time.

Jedi Mind Tricks are so great! Vinne looks so young their compared to what he has been doing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_sLbVrJPJQ (Not Old School enough but does have R.A and he kinda old school)

Love JMT , didn't realise it was Paz when I first that video, sounds completely different nowadays.

I still need to get his The Psycho-Social LP on vinyl, just seen they've released a ltd edition red version: http://www.discogs.com/Jedi-Mind-Tricks-The-Psycho-Social-Chemical-Biological-And-Electro-Magnetic-Manipulation-Of-Human-Co/release/4552195
