Attention Old School Hip Hop Heads

[fizzmaster]

If the words "LL Cool J Demo Tape from 1987" make you go insane with frothy fervor, then I bestow upon all ye fellow drunkard classic hip hop heads these fucking gold mines of rare awesomeness.
(My new favorite song is "Queens Lounge" on Part 2 by Large Pro.)

"Portrait of an artist as a hood" was probably my favorite track by them. Anyone remember the track Serch did with Nas when he was just a snot nose? I saw the video on youtube the other day. Nas looks so young in the video.

He had an awesome verse.

This is Nas, kid, you know how it runs
I'm waving automatic guns at nuns
Sticking up the preachers in the church, I'm a stone crook
Serial killer, who works by the phone book

You know what the world needs right now? A Geto Boys reunion. "Mind of a Lunatic," "Mind's Playing Tricks On Me," and "First Light of Day" are tracks that these neo-hip hop idiots need to listen to.

They released an album a couple of years ago.

I have no idea why this popped in my head but I love Ludacris' verse on Nas' Made you look remix.

I'm a victim of society, it's Cris the menace
With more shit out on the street than evicted tenants

I will be satisfied if even just one person in this thread acknowledges that the west coast had a significant influence on the hip hop genre. I mean, even if you consider just the numbers; Tupac and Eminem are about tied for most hip-hop records sold, which I think says a lot about Dr. Dre's credit for what he did for both of them.

Listen to any popular mainstream hip hop on the radio today and tell me if it sounds more like the style of N.W.A. or the NY artists during the same time frame.

This is brand ass new, but it is fucking great NYC hip hop, highly recommended!
