yep. that's why they call it 'classic'...

That doesn't mean anything. The EXACT same discussion takes place
between
fans of hip-hop all the time. It is identical except the difference is
"classic" is replaced with "old school". The thing is, it is all a
matter
of opinion and there is no right or wrong opinion.

I'd probably get shot the next time I was in Compton for saying that I
hate a lot of the old school rap but that's just the way it is. I'm
not a huge fan of rap in the sense that I only listen to very specific
artists - Dr. Dre, Snoop, Eminem, Ice Cube.

I'm not a fan of Ice T. I'm not a fan of 2 Live Crew. I'm not a fan of
Wu Tang. Hell, I don't even like most stuff that NWA did and I love
the solo careers of half the group.

Mattinglyfan is exactly right that there's no right or wrong
opinion... except that mine's right and everyone else's is wrong.

LOL, your age is definitely showing because NO ONE in Compton knows what
"old school" is. That goes much further back than Wu-Tang or Ice T for that
matter. We are talking Run DMC, 17 year old LL Cool J, Kool G Rap, the Fat
Boys, to a certain extent the Beastie Boys and so on.

Before Ice T? Ice T started rapping well before the Beastie Boys even
decided to jump on the hip hop bandwagon. Hell, the Beasties were a
metal/punk band until '85 when they debuted with License to Ill.

Wu Tang isn't REALLY old school but they predate a lot of what today's
fans would call rap. Public Enemy's definitely old school... I can't
believe I forgot them. They were rapping way back in the day while I
was still in grade school.

LL Cool J isn't that old, either... Ice-T was rapping before he was.

I think it is funny
how VH1 has 3 shows that feature old school rappers (Flava Flav, Salt n Pepa
and Mc Serch). I don't like Wu but Method Man was one of my favorite
artists back in the day. To this day, I will DJ a wedding of 30-somethings
and they will go crazy when I throw on some original Run DMC. Its a matter
of taste.

Run DMC isn't bad. They're pretty tame, though. I prefer NWA (or at
least certain members) whose members were rapping well before the
group's 87 technical first album (which WASN'T Straight Outta Compton).
