Old school songs that you were shocked how well the mc was spittin when you first heard them

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Don’t shame the posters for discovering the song late because of age or slept on, but these are the top two to me


I had known run dmc from their singles as a kid, so i knew them from rock box, christmas in hollis, walk this way, etc. very old school rhymes

Run’s house is fukkIN SPITTIN. DMC talkin that shyt “you better go down south, you better shut your mouth…”, and Run spits all thru. Fire.

#2 and real this is number one is probably the best old school lyricism of all time, and a top rap song ever

It speaks for itself, but it is tier zero lyricism, and he also was rockin the party during the bridge.

 

[jensyao]

probably a lot of grandmaster caz


LL cool J in 1985

 

[boskey]

1980

 

[TripleAgent]

I'm old enough to know most of the 80s stuff, but I was shocked at the Holy Trinity (Caz, Mel, Moe Dee)'s late 70s and early 80s stuff I didn't hear until later. Rapper's Delight has a LOT of people fooled that nobody had bars back in the beginning. I see why they hate that song. The only truly good bars were Caz' stolen shyt

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

Any Kool G Rap song

LMAOO according to DMC he's not dissing the south. He's just basically saying "suck my dikk"

 

[TheMailMan]

LLcoolJ - bad/rock the bells and of course The Message

 

[Youngblood Priest]

That may be. Probably so. I just know when NY dudes came down south, late 80s, early 90s, they told me that was how they talked to ppl they felt were beneath them. "Take your ass down south with that shyt" type of talk. Basically a dis to the south. RunDMC pissed me off with that line.

 

[zayk35]

The dude from UTFO the educated rapper was spitting something serious

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Probably somethin by chubb rock

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

That BEAT STREET

Lyrics should be posted in the Bible in the section with the Major Prophets

And I only heard it like a month or two ago.

"Don't be a slave to no COMPUTER "

I heard that down south meant Maryland, and was a diss to guys coming to New York talking big. The NYC / Maryland thing is interesting. "Herbin em in the land of the terrapins" and all

 

[ChuckTaylor84]

[puppetmaster]

Rakim on Follow the Leader.
