[@jomarcoliverman4971]

Yep lol nothing like in the world I wouldn’t trade it for nothing

[@Papi.Pharaoh]

This was very needed for new generation of artists. Y’all need to see the foundation and blueprint of Hip hop. And none of these legendary artists lost a step. They all killed it. Great performance.

[@simplynay2702]

That’s because they took pride into perfecting their craftsmanship and literally had to be the BEST to stand out. Now you can be well underdeveloped and still have a larger fan base than these old school artists thanks to social media. I’m enjoying no soundtrack playing in the back with the lyrics. Imagine 30-40 years later they STILL all their lyrics.

[@iamhiphopandsoul40]

this was not the foundation these rappers that came out were 2nd generation. only group that was first gen was the sugar hill gang...smh

[@coolb8545]

Crazy right

[@jaayeee24]

McLyte is still better than all of the current artists. Voice crisp, words clear, clothes fly.

[@dayopodcast]

Mc lyte has always been the hardest all.time to me her flow and delivery always been expert level

[@minebydivineright]

And Cha Cha Cha will NEVER get old EVER!!!

[@mystapaul]

[@vnthony2439]

It’s mc lyte yoyo and eve for me

[@Mf_booma]

[@whatudoin1]

artists who know how to hold a mic and have a clear voice ...i love it

[@jeffery7341]

omg..... pure royalnesss..The sugarhill gang..... i bow to you.. These guys paved the way to hip hop...

[@HYSoCietyTV]

That wasn’t them that was the dudes that stole their name that’s why it was so off

[@sonofabeach71]

Master Gee is there. The only original member. Not sure why Wonder Mike wasn't. RIP Big Bank Hank...

[@msp9810]

​@sonofabeach71 maybe due to illness, I saw an article from Jan saying he was hospitalized for 3 months. He had asthma. Is the big dude to Master Gee's right Big Bank Hank's son? I don't think so but just wondering..

[@racheller8753]

Rapping like this after 20 + years is amazing ❤

[@antwaanhemisphere7956]

This is what it’s about …. Being creative and having fun 🛜

[@chrisjenkins8450]

I blast M.C. Lyte songs on the regular ! I've loved her since "Cram To Understand"

[@kellysnyclife663]

I just learned of her 2 years ago and I love mc lyte!!

[@Destyn2b]

Yes! My favorite femcee. 🔥

[@monqueriusmaben2563]

RUFFNECK.

[@CitizenVids]

PAPER THIN 💯💯💯💯

[@SistaSource]

It's amazing how a lot of the older rappers are still alive to get their flowers 💐. Young rappers take note....you don't have to go jail or die to be a popular rapper.

[@Cw311z]

Especially cover tattoos & get with loose IG models booty as well.

[@SistaSource]

@@Cw311z The point is they are still alive to enjoy life. Tatoos and sex with a willing participant is no issue.

[@msp9810]

Exactly

[@ltod2]

TIyestime,I'm 55 the old school hip hop legends will be still doing shows until they can't no longer.Have you notice lately since hip hop turns 50,who's gettinng booked for shows?NYC will be lit the week hip hop turns 50

These artists are over 50!!! They look so good. They have been giving off the same energy from day one!!

[@jarvasedundy1]

I can honestly say, the Hip-Hop awards was pretty good this year. And with no actual BET host. It was just Kid Capri and he did his thing and all the Hip-Hop legends. I enjoyed it🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@marymixon2306]

CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 The Old School Hip Hop "ICONS" bringing back Clean Wholesome Rapping without The Filth!! ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jomarcoliverman4971]

You’re right to be honest I think having to clean up your music makes you have to be more creative it’s easy to just curse on the mic and say vulgar stuff for shock value

[@kayhubbard9732]

I knowbthats right! I've still got the Sugar Hill Gang's Wrappers delight on a cassett! Still love it!!!

See, this is well within my comfort zone. Basically, anything from the late '80s to the late '90s is right up my comfort zone. Big Daddy Kane reminds me so much of diggin' through my dad LP collection and picking the ones w/ the illest artwork.
