XM 65 is great<div>I'd have to go with either "Everything's Going to be Alright" by Father M.C. or "Rebel Without a Pause" by Public Enemy.</div>

wow, so many to choose from. I dont know if it counts as real old school, but black sheep-engine engine number 9. Otherwise it's probably Just a Friend by Biz

It's not by any means my fave old school one but I've heard a lot recently on Sirius Backspin " Love's Gonna Get You " by KRS-One.It's a good song. Probably one of his better post-BDP work ( meaning after Scott LaRock was killed ).

NYCtv has a show on a lot of nights (I caught it at 9pm last night) called The Bridge.  It's an hour of old school hiphop videos and the like.  Last nights was filmed at the Brooklyn hip hop fest (?) and featured some of the old school Brooklyn beats.  I just watch and download, watch and download.  There is no way to list my one favorite.  Just about anything from the mid-to-late 90s, east or west coast.

"Favorite Old School Rap Song"Subterranean Homesick Blues,   by Bob Dylan Johnny's in the basement Mixing up the medicine I'm on the pavement Thinking about the government The man in the trench coat Badge out, laid off Says he's got a bad cough Wants to get it paid off Look out kid It's somethin' you did God knows when But you're doin' it again You better duck down the alley way Lookin' for a new friend The man in the coon-skin cap In the big pen Wants eleven dollar bills You only got ten Maggie comes fleet foot Face full of black soot Talkin' that the heat put Plants in the bed but The phone's tapped anyway Maggie says that many say They must bust in early May Orders from the D. A. Look out kid Don't matter what you did Walk on your tip toes Don't try "No Doz" Better stay away from those That carry around a fire hose Keep a clean nose Watch the plain clothes You don't need a weather man To know which way the wind blows Get sick, get well Hang around a ink well Ring bell, hard to tell If anything is goin' to sell Try hard, get barred Get back, write braille Get jailed, jump bail Join the army, if you fail Look out kid You're gonna get hit But users, cheaters Six-time losers Hang around the theaters Girl by the whirlpool Lookin' for a new fool Don't follow leaders Watch the parkin' meters Ah get born, keep warm Short pants, romance, learn to dance Get dressed, get blessed Try to be a success Please her, please him, buy gifts Don't steal, don't lift Twenty years of schoolin' And they put you on the day shift Look out kid They keep it all hid Better jump down a manhole Light yourself a candle Don't wear sandals Try to avoid the scandals Don't wanna be a bum You better chew gum The pump don't work 'Cause the vandals took the handles It had a great video, too.<img src="http://bobdylan.com/images/dotclear.gif" border="0" width="475" height="0" />

Wow, some really good choices there. These songs bring back some memories. De La, Tribe, The JB's were all cool, kind of "hippy" rap, but for a more serious message I have to go with Eric B & Rakim... Awesome lyrics and rhymes... Eric B & Rakim - "I Ain't No Joke" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO2tCBteW7U  Grand Puba, Master Ace, EPMD, Digable Planets, and who can forget THE X-CLAN... The main DJ- Brother J had the smoothest voice I've ever heard on Rap. Smoother than Chuck D, and he was smooth... X-Clan "Weapon X" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHZkCZlZJNg&mode=related&search= I tried to find "Funkin Lesson" which I think is better, but couldn't find it.

I love DAS-Efx " They Want EFX " and i wish they had done more work in that style.They also make Ice Cube's " Check Ya Self " have a little more style." Slam " by Onyx was a pretty good song in the early/mid 90's. Not a classic but a good one.I always thought Kool Moe Dees songs were kinda corny but a few were catchy such as " Wild Wild West " and " Go See The Doctor "Another good song was " The Symphony " by Marley Marl I think but it had a whole bunch of others in it. Video was kinda cool as well.

In black and white, he's standing on a sidewalk with a pile of posterboards held in front of him. Each one has a word or phrase on it from the song and as it plays he just tosses them aside, one by one.As far as I can tell, it's the first rap song evah....
