When hip hop was respected and wasn't dismantled by the corporations.
And Canibus came through on his features.

[Loose Cannon]

This song stood the test of time and still bangs. Great times for hip hop.

[Mitsurugi]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlrklRDssQM

Sorry for the delay if anyone cares.
This is one of the songs that I instantly liked. It samples The Isley Brothers.
You can catch Xzhibit and Coolio in the cut if you look careful.

[Mitsurugi]

Bonus: Mobb Deep, Raekwon and Nas(rockin wu wear) on YO MTV Raps.

Let's bump it up a few years so people can relate..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfhTpZXMVBg
I remember bumpin' this song when college parties were in full effect.
I'm too old for that stuff now :(

[Mitsurugi]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPV1InMNUf4

Was in high school when this dropped. Just a overall fun record.

[Mitsurugi]

Its 420 so this is fitting. This was my joint back in middle school. Had everyone singing the lyrics in school. I remember DKNY was really hot around the time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2YUDZZV6H8

I was in high school and bboying was in full effect.

[Repctillian]

u are very consistent. if i was to make a thread like this id prolly forget after week 3

[Mitsurugi]

Forums like this is the only thing keeping hip hop alive.
I want to recreate that feeling that hip hop used to give me but I know I can't..oh well.

[Mitsurugi]

I think this joint dropped when I was in 8th grade.
This introduced me to Devin the Dude.
enjoy.
edit: they said Devin's verse is not in this video. Classic verse so look out for it.

[Repctillian]

chopper suits in effect

devin even looked high in that video

[Mitsurugi]

This was a nice joint from Pac.
props to anyone who knows Theo from California.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7c20y5IL4Q

[Mitsurugi]

Crazy joint right here. Check the triple entredes and multi-syllables. This was killing the hip hop stations back in the day. Canibus said he modeled his style off this artist.

[The Based Guy]

lmao at pac sitting on the toilet.

[Mitsurugi]

Since there's a thread on Latino rappers I'll add this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_5nCgAXIYU

[Mitsurugi]

This song along with Lex, Coups, Beamaz, and Benz put Lost Boyz on the map.
One of hip hops greatest anthems.

[Mitsurugi]

Here's Ghostface doing what he does best...airing out relationships.
This was from my early college days and when Rap City was on. I remember those velour track suits and throwbacks were really poppin. Good ass times.

Speaking of Ghostface and Bulletbroof Wallets

Jeru Da Damaja was killing it with this song on Rap City Top Ten Friday. I think held a spot on there for a while.

Mobb Deep in this underrated track (and beat) from the "Sunset Park" soundtrack:

Back At You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyn02VUnFW0

[Mitsurugi]

^^yo props for that. I definitely remember that song. I wish songs today would give me that same feeling from back then. You know...that feeling you got from falling in love with hip hop. props

[Khem]

[Mitsurugi]

Camp Lo. Their style was so unique and it flowed so well. Uptown Saturday Night is a personal classic. From Black Nostaljak, Coolie High to Sparkle.
This joint reminds me how fun hip hop can be.

I'm gonna start adding an RnB bonus. Here is the first. Gotta be Mary...

[Mitsurugi]

Onyx - Slam. I remember going to summer school and as soon as they started playing this on the bus, everybody went crazy and start moshing like the whiteboys. The bus driver was cool so she let us have fun. All I know is that my generation had it good as far as hiphop.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ADgCeYJMN4

Rnb joint of the day:
This is a classic from the new jack swing era. Play this to a girl if yall are going to be serious. She'll melt in your arms.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1wXPGhwTFU

[Mitsurugi]

Bringin in some west coast flavor. Nothin like cruisin through the streets of LA bumpin this joint. You got to try it at least once to know what I'm talkin about.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYnZMMAdBhw

Gina Thompson for the rnb of the day.
Missy was killin every track at the time. Good memories...

[Mr. A.D. Illmatic]

You can't go through a summer without playin this !! :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs7f3ssuEjA

[Mitsurugi]

no love for the 80s??


I'll be honest I wasn't listening to hip hop back then. Too busy with videogames. But I did catch 80s stuff on Rap City. So I know what you are talking about.

[Mitsurugi]

702 was the shit.............oh yeah they was on the good burger soundtrack too lol....Good Burger !!!

702 was definitely poppin! One of my favorite tracks from them is this joint with Shyheim(Bow Wow before Bow Wow and way more street).
Whoever did this beat needs to win an award man. It feels so 90s....

[Repctillian]

I'll be honest I wasn't listening to hip hop back then. Too busy with videogames. But I did catch 80s stuff on Rap City. So I know what you are talking about.

so its not really a old school thread

[Mitsurugi]

^^this generation considers 90s old school man. Twitter generation were in their diapers when some of these songs came out. Old school for me was 80s but this thread is to remember good music.

p.s.
You are probably the best poster at throwing bait. Makes things interesting tho.

[Mr. A.D. Illmatic]

Today we go the Luniz.
If you don't know this song...you need to go back and learn your history. I was in Cali when this joint dropped. EVERYBODY was playing this. Even when I got back on the east coast. This joint was killing Rap City too. I miss the whole format of that show man...damn shame. Anyway I got 5 on it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyDqoLimejg


For RNB
I remember Babyface and LL performing this on Oprah. Man it was beautiful hearing this on the radio with your girl next to you....

[The Based Guy]

I got blazed as fuck and listened to ive got five on it chopped and screwed...thought it was the longest/best track ever.

[Mitsurugi]

Today we have Common and Lauryn Hill. I remember seeing this on BET and it immediately touched me. Even though I don't have kids it made me think. Everybody is gonna have to face this topic one day. Why pretend to be hard and run from it?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmDybzfNBG0

On a more lighter note..
I always remember high school cuz of this song. Damn..Left Eye was looking real good too. This was like the official house party anthem.
