I'm not really a fan but I do like the Beastie Boys. They're kind of hip hop, right?

NWA's greatest hits regularly gets aired in the car as well as Biggies Ready To Die album, two classic 'rap' albums I couldn't do without. These can easily be followed by The Sex Pistols or Eva Cassidy depending on my mood.

Surgery awsome song.

Back then tho it was split into different types.

South coast

East coast

Rap

Hip hop

Breaking

Electro

Must say I was always more of an electro fan.

That said loved all of it.

I still have a ticket stub from seeing afrika Bambaataa and the soul sonic force. At the lyceum wellington street, London.

Saturday 13th October 1984

Damn I am old.

Can't remember the date to be honest but it's electro 1-14 I think, will have to dig them out and have a look, all vinyl, apart from 2, that's on cassette.

That's not really old school hip hop to be fair.

Big Daddy Kane

Run DMC

Public Enemy

Eric B & Rakim

Grandmaster Flash

Afrika Bambataa

Sugarhill

Funky Four Plus One

Ultramagnetic MC's

You've described second wave, or even third wave acts.

Lol yes ahh the memories.

School playgrounds consisted of boys bodypopping/breakdancing to the beat with a stereo someone had sneaked in (we had to rely on beatboxing if no stereo available!), whilst the girls 'double dutched' with two skipping ropes

Don't listen to it as much as I used to but have been known to bop my head to Ras Kass, Chino XL, Ohene and Tech N9ne...

From the UK, I've enjoyed the subject matter in Akala's songs, particularly he's efforts during Fire in the Booth:
