Top 5 Old School Rappers?

[Cuban Pete]

nikkka really putting cube in this discussion

I like Cube during WSC and I dont really count shyt like Death Certificate as much 'old school' as I do the beginning of the 90's era but I'm in my early 20's so Idk... I guess he fits cuz he did come out in that time frame

Thread starter put '91 as the cut off point...by the end of '91 Straight Outta Compton, Amerikkka's Most Wanted and Death Certificate had all dropped...shyt, that's a very good bulk of Cube's prime material

It's a top 5 tho'... and the late-80s was pretty fukkin serious. A lil' more serious than Sadat X.

That's like mentioning Jordan, Magic, Bird... then a nikka pulls Robert Parish out. Parish, bruh?

I'm glad to see people name Big Daddy Kane here. I was starting to believe people forgot how dope he was.
