I really like old school rap music, though I'm a 90`s kid.
I think it was way better back then than it is today, though I do have to say there a few exceptions.
I'm just tired of hearing "Crank Dat Soulja Boy" and guys talking disrespectfully about women...
Anyway, I wanted a list of some reccomendations from some of those 80`s kids.
Please&ThankYou
