@@Retro_Man_76 There you go... but it's before '88; I mean I can remember as a really young person from 1984-1991, those years when it comes to music in general but hip-hop, those are the years, and a little before with DMC, Slick Rick, Blow, Whodini, Salt-N-Peppa, and Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, etc...

[@Retro_Man_76]

@@plainsimple244 I agree with you. In my opinion the golden age of hip hop was 1984-1997. I also like the early old school stuff (1979-1984). Treacherous Three, Spoonie Gee, Sugarhill, Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel, Fantastic Four, Sequence (first female rap group), Funky Four Plus 1, Kurt's Blow, Spyder-D, Super Wolf...the list goes on and on. Real Hip hop started to deteriate by the late 90's, and now it's just flat out horrendous. At least we have all those amazing classics to go back to.

[@plainsimple244]

@@Retro_Man_76 Yeah, I really don't need any music after 1991... I'm being generous when I say 1992 when it comes to hip-hop...So when it comes to hip-hop give me anything from 1980-1991 and I'm set...there's nothing I need to listen to, it's done... See, something can become world-renown but the origin is a little time period that travels in time and it's set in its greatness for what it is and it should be left as so. You do not remake classics at all and if you are going to sample anything, it should always bring you back to origins; the only thing I didn't like about hip-hop was the constant sampling (which I can understand due to the economics of studio time) and the violence which is 100% unnecessary aside from telling the world the foolishness going on around you to get answers for getting out of that situation. The core of art is the writing and ability to put music together but the 'other stuff' is a lie.
