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

[boskey]

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

Now I'm offended

The dude from UTFO the educated rapper was spitting something serious

My first album. My intro to rap. My older cousin gave me UTFO and the Fat Boys. Fat Boys was always entertaining. The Educated Rapper from UTFO was indeed spitting crack

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 "

Melle Mel, of the original 3 Kings

Got on the phone and called 3 different people the first time I heard "It Ain't Hard To Tell".

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.

It's crazy you put up Beat Street a few weeks ago I jumped in the whip and turned to Rock The Bells Radio and that song came on..I never heard this song before and Melly Mel murked this song..I pulled up to my destination and sat in the car til it finished..I had chills and understood why Scarface and some of the others held him in high regards.."learn from the past and plan for the future/and don't be a slave to no computer"...way before cell phones and even more decades before they came pocket computers
