    So obviously the term "old" is relative.

    I am a rock guy and for a few years graduated to classical and others.(i became insufferable)

    But, i remember with great pleasure the days when i was introduced to hip hop. The first albums i bought were 2 pac greatest hits and dr dree. I knew nothing of them but the fact that everyone in the hood wanted to trick me, talk me, befriend me, etc in to giving them MY 2 Pac greatest hits duble CD, i knew it was worth something.

    With all the classical music and rock, from time to time, i will go back to some of the old hip hop songs.

    Did you hear the "new" stuff? I'm not sure 2Pac and Dre are the same genre...

    A little before my time as a fan of hip hop, but a major influence to my hood. Years later i would check him out and, not bad, not bad at all

    You know that when Dre was with the Wreckin' Cru and NWA, Tupac was studying theatre and tap dancing, right?

    People, just a small thing.

    Please write a little story if not about what made you listen to hip hop, then at least about what you like about the song. Don't just post a link and run :)

    It's not a hip hop song as i know now but

    This was the first song a heared that had someone in it that was not actually singing (this is hip hop no?)

    Man, I would have thanked that post if it weren't for including Coolio and Fugees :(

    Run DMC were a big part of my childhood though :)

    Weirdly, I was talking about this tune just today, probably for the first time in over a decade...

    Rhythmically speaking, this is probably the best recent hip-hop I've heard.

    If anyone's heard better, I'd love to hear it :)

    (Don't listen if you dislike naughty words)

    Video removed. Explicit lyrics.

    Wow wow what's wrong with the Fugees? Cypress Hill?

    I liked Cypress Hill's first album or two, as a young teen who would like anything about bongs and gats, but Fugees were just exploitation pop as far as I could make out.
