Any Old School Rap Fans?

[Jersh]

Lately all I've found myself listening to is 80s and 90s rap, and some more modern stuff as long is it is real lyrical. Not sure if all you guys are into it or not, but if you guys have any recommendations I'd love to hear them. This is some of the stuff I been listening to.

Big L

Flamboyant (Ratatat Remix)
Put It On
MVP

Souls of Mischief

93 Till Infinity
Cab Fare
Step To My Girl
A Name I Call Myself

The Pharcyde

Passing Me By
Drop

Erik B and Rakim
I Ain't No Joke
Don't Sweat The Technique
Juice
Follow The Leader
When I Be On The Mic

Hieroglyphics

Soweto
At The Helm

Dilated Peoples
Back Again
You Can't Hide You Can't Run
This Way

This is only some of it, I'll eventually post the videos on them so all the people that haven't seen or heard them can just listen to them here. If you have anything to add to the list just post them up!

You got some good feed back. I grew up on hip hop.If you've been that kind of hip hop then you'll probably love the WU Tang Clan. If you're into Heiro, then check out Del's album "both sides of the brain" Method Man "Blackout" album is pretty good. If you want to hear some just weird shit check out Dr. Octagon or maybe some Brotha Lynch or XRaided. But lately I've been on this MF DOOM binge. One of our members here is pretty lyrical, I'll look for the link now for you.
EDiT: here you go. His sn is Vipkindaguy.

Awesome lyrics and beats back in the day. Here in socal we have a station that plays most of this stuff, I think it's called Kday. I rarely listen to the radios cuz of the ipod but ran into this station and love it. Masta Ace was pretty cool, I will go through my ipod to see what else I can come up with.
