The Old School Hip Hop Audio Thread.....

[Styles1]

You guys didn't keep up the other one (thanks to 50 and Kanye, dammit)... nevertheless since that hype has died down it's time to do another thread with more audio... taking you back to the all time great tracks... and not just the overexposed one's too...

Sir Mix A Lot: Beepers  http://www.zshare.net/audio/39213134c2bd02/

This is Mix A Lot at his best!! Forget the Baby Got Back stuff... this is when Mix A Lot was giving you that music to ride to.

The Fat Boys: Jailhouse Rap   http://www.zshare.net/audio/3921485e0fefbb/

So many consider The Fat Boys to be novelty rappers (and their Wipe Out surf stuff didn't help matters) however, this trio is as Hip Hop as Hip Hop can be and to me this is their finest track. Jailhouse Rap was beyond it's years and probably includes the first long piano interlude in a rap song.

The Real Roxanne: Romeo  http://www.zshare.net/audio/392164372357f8/

The Real Roxanne was known to most fans for her answer back to UTFO's famed "Roxanne Roxanne" song, but when she put away the answer back's and stuck to making music with Howie T, she could make a good rap song. She gets no better than this song "Romeo" which I used to hear in the mornings on 1580 KDAY.

I will be back with more!

props for this thread! brings back a lot of memories! fat boys !!! y'all remember the fat boys are back?

Yeah.. that was their 2nd album... I much preferred the first one ... That album had "Brrrr... Stick Em", "The Human Beat Box", "Don't You Dog Me" and other true classics..

The Human Beat Box is a classic!!!
