What's your favorite old-school rap or hip-hop song?

Asked by troubleinharlem (7999points) February 3rd, 2011

I don’t know a lot of good ones, and I just would like some suggestions on groups or songs. I wasn’t around then, so… anything would help.

I was just listening to this. xD

Nas – Nas Is Like

It’s not super old-school (1999), I know, but I think the sound of the song has an old-school feel to it.

I so wanted to go with Eazy E, good one @Jude, but I think I’ll pick Jam On It. Now that’s old school.:)
