Pet peeve: "Old School" is not a sliding scale term in the context of hip hop like it is with most other things older than an arbitrary number of years. Old School Hip Hop is a specific time period.

Stop playin ya self.

Damn.

Old School is generally considered everything pre-Run-DMC. Run-DMC would be the New School. Eric-B & Rakim, KRS, De La, etc., mark the start of the Golden Age, and so on. The eras are generally marked by the emergence of new styles and movements just like rock, jazz, etc.

we might have to take this to gafhop cause I need a chart.

I always considered Run-DMC, Eric-B & Rakim, and KRS to be part of the old school.

Who do you consider old school then beside somebody obvious like sugar hill gang ?

You know the style when you hear it. The eras are well documented by historians.

It's the era of the simpler rhyme schemes, funky costumes, and soul/funk samples and loops.

I concur with this, that's Ice-T, Big Daddy Kane, De La Soul, Leaders of the New School, etc to me.

I get 2005 was 10 years ago, but posting "#1 Stunna" vs "Scenario" are different classes of music to me.

The era you're describing is considered the Golden Age of Hip Hop. Where more complex rhyme schemes were developed and subject matter became more varied. It also saw a move away from funk samples and live bands.

ah, ok I see what you mean. I use to lump all these artist together in the same era but listing them I can see where they all sonically split now.

The "to me" part of your statement is where the issue lies. You think its one thing but history objectively outlines it as something else. It's funny because this happens more in hip hop than any other music culture in my experience. Nobody says "Miles Davis sounds like Ragtime to me!" Nobody would really say Metallica sounds like the blues.

To be fair, "old school" and "new school" are pretty bad terms for specific eras.
Also, did eras stop getting named after the Golden Era? Because that's just the first half of rap's history.

No disagreement there.

Like, after the golden era there's gangsta. But then a bunch of shit started splitting off in wildly different directions in parallel, so you had like crunk and hyphy and whatever the midwest was doing with that wonky pseudo-Dilla shit, and the glitch stuff started coming in, all at the same time. And it's only getting crazier because everything is getting mixed together even more across genre lines. We need some more distance from the early 2000s I think. Everything is just like post modern now I guess.

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlines is tight so far, at least visually.

 

[cdyhybrid]

I think the easiest way is to just describe it with the time period it sprung from.

80's hip hop, 90's hip hop, etc.

I wish it was that easy. The 80's gave us Run-DMC and Rakim though. I'm not really putting them in the same class.

That's what most people do but on the technical side, Old School isn't even a full decade. It's pretty much '78-79' to around '84.

Don't we talk about anime and fried chicken establishments here? I ate Vons fried chicken earlier and I am watching Bloodlines. Let's hash this out.

 

[FeenixRising]

Every one knows the best era was the Shiny Suit era.

take that.

 

[jWILL253]

My favorite era of Hip-Hop was that peak of the Golden era from about 1994 to 2003. So much good music.

Any topic regarding Islam is such a difficult one to discuss in any context. There seems to be a huge, fundamental flaw about the way the religion is viewed across all sides and viewpoints.

It hurts to even think about.

But I thought it was white America that was out to get him. I don't know which side I'm supposed to be on. I'm so confused.

Shame about Mase tho. He wasn't as golden by himself but I liked him.

He was better than Loon's crazy heroin smuggling ass.

I'm down with anything cept crunk and that time period were folks were hopping on the gangsta rap train.

Yes and no. I think it's different because it's an era I grew up in, so it's harder to think of it as a clear separation. It doesn't help that I feel like for the most part, lyrics have degenerated something fierce for the mainstream.

It's funny, I was reading Ghostface's blog where he reviews older albums and goes into some details, some known, some not, and I remember thinking "Damn, a lot of these guys were taken for granted."

Like the run of solo Wu Tang albums. Meth, ODB, Raekwon, GZA, Ghostface, are all bananas. Nothing really like that nowadays.
