I like Aerosmith and Run DMC's collaboration of "Walk this Way"; this was the first real melding of rock music and hip hop.
Even though Aerosmith's original version is okay, I kind of prefer the 80's remake.

I liked Banned in the USA - it rocked, forgot the group but they were controversial. Also Malcom McClaren's compilation of the World's Famous rapper djs from Chicago (McClaren was the Sex Pistol's manager).
Subject: Re: Old School Hip Hop
Uh...I thought that was rap.
When did people stop calling it rap and start calling it hip-hop?
Is rap no longer the "cool" word to say?
Has it gone out of style to say (like def)?
Or is it some kind of politically incorrect word that we're not supposed to use any more?
Yo! MTV Hip-Hops?
I thought rap was kind of fun and interesting when it came up in the late 70's but I guess after hearing Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five, I figured I'd pretty much heard all there was to hear. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that in a slanderous way but I just don't understand it's continuing value. Other than the beats changing over the years it's pretty much the same thing on every recording; either words about partying, social commentary, sex/love or violence. Then again the same thing can be said about Rock & Roll!
Obviously I'm not a rap(?) fan but I did think De La Soul offered something interesting. I suppose it would help if I got off my lazy butt and sat down and talked to someone who likes and knows a lot about rap. Otherwise I'll never learn what it's really all about!
Subject: Re: Old School Hip Hop
One can probably argue what it's called these days, whether rap or hip-hop, I think these terms originated in the 80s and 90s. What evolved into the urban rap/hip-hop sound originated decades before, maybe in the form of spoken word by the likes of William Burroughs in the 40s and 50s or poetry recited by beatniks and through the lyrical messages of Lou Reed in the 60s. Rap was a knock on the door and hip-hop was what a bunny did back in those days ;)

Me too!!!! Reminds me of all the Friday and Saturday nights at the skating rink. I still have my white "quad" skates with the pink wheels and big fuzzy ball with bells on the laces!! For years I've used my kids as an excuse to still be able to go to the skating rink, but they're getting too old for that now. Guess I'm going to have to start borrowing my friend's younger kids!

Well, there were "radio friendly" rappers/rap groups like Tone Loc, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Freah Prince, Young MC, Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock, Kriss Kross, MC Hammer, etc. in the late '80's/early '90's.
I think it became mainstream when Run DMC and The Beastie Boys broke though the top 40 in 1986.

What about Rudy Pardee and Snake Puppy the Dream Teams in the house. Yo Baby Yo Baby Yo!

@80s Lady: Oh my god!!!! When you were describing your skates it was like you had a free pass to my closet. I have the white quad skates with the classic pink wheels. Haaa In fact, I was thinking about putting on the ole skates sometime soon. ;D 8)
Subject: Re: Old School Hip Hop
Grandmaster Flash is the hands down best.
The standard song from the 80's? It has to be Newcleus' "Jam On It".
Oh yeah, Sugarhill Gang's "Rappers Delight" was another great song along with "The Message" from Grandmaster. How many of us have told someone "Don't push me, cuz' I'm close to the ehhhdge!"

I remember Casey Kasem introducing Blondie's song 'Rapture' with this bit about how there was a new type of music for the future -- he said, "It's called 'Rap Disco'"! I remember laughing my butt off at the time.
i loved Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel. I also liked De La Soul, 3rd Bass, Eric B. and Rakim, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Disposable Heroes of Hip Hoprisy, Kid-n-Play, and LL Cool J (of course!) ;D

I liked "All Around the World (Same Song)". ;D
Subject: Re: Old School Hip Hop
I wasn't too much into the old school rap/hip hop. I did find it kind of intriguing and not too dreadful to listen to. My favorite old school song was "I'm That Type Of Guy" by LL Cool J.
Subject: Re: Old School Hip Hop
Not everyone was into the old school rap/hip hop.
I loved it. Still do. I hate the crap that's out nowadays...
