Oldschool rap

Old School-I consider these albums classic, all around amazing albums. I can sit back, listen to all these albums straight through and just bob my head.

Nas-Illmatic, It Was Written

AZ-Doe or Die

Red Man-Whut? Thee Album

Method Man-Tical

Raekwon-Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

Big L- Lifestyles ov da Poor and Dangerou, The Big Picture

Big Pun-Capital Punishment

Notorious-Ready to Die, Life After Death

KRS-One-A Retrospective

Wu-Tang-Enter the Wu-Tang

New Shcool-Obviously for the New School it's going to be mostly underground because most music that's playing on the radio is Hip-Pop and auto-tuned bullshit.

Lupe-The Cool, Food & Liquor, All his mixtapes

Probably my favorite New School rapper. Amazing lyricism, doesn't rap about guns, sex and drugs constantly and he can tell a crazy story.

Celph Titled-The Gatalog

One funny ass rapper who can come up with some sick multi syllabic rhymes and has sick punch lines

Atmosphere-There Whole Discography

Slug is a sick MC who can write a good story and has great lyricism and Ant can lay down a solid beat.

That's pretty much all the New School rap I listen too and for Old School that's not my entire list but I'm pretty tired, need to do my homework, I have class at 9:20 tomorrow and frankly I'm too high to focus

Quick Edit-

My faves are:

these arn't really classics but i just thought i'd share

You need to add Tribe to the list, Gangstarr is a pretty classic if i dont saysomyself. ;)

I know i'll be getting alot of shit for this, but MF DOOM, imo, is a classic--or close to it. for quite a while know he's been throwing out the sickest most complex rhymes out there. Check out his new album.

HMMMM
The flow was to' in precision as an afro trim
All big letters but isn't no acronym
Smack the thin grin off a tin for crack smokin
DDT the first bar, leave this track back broken
Chrome grown man doin business with anglo-sax'n'them
Lackin swing but that banjo's so relaxin
As the wax spin, hackin axes in the wind
Pretend it's just a pen; see if you can pencil 'em in
Tense, mention men of honor fenced in
Census is tens, the wheels fall off then it's the end
Don't get keelhauled in
Villain always been, feel real genuine ballskin
Not to call the whole crowd out
It's just a few chumps, and you know who you are like a shoutout
Place 'em in your loud mouth and taste 'em like a pastry
Waste of space face hastily bow out gracefully
Disappear, reappear and disappear again
Villain knot his hair, he's no afro-american
If that's the case he be a bald-headed African
Takin all the credit and jetted, astro travellin
Turn a man into a mannequin for AFLAC'n
And bein tough actin Tinactin bluff jackin
He wears a mask so any dog's his face
Each and every race, could absord the bass
In the place to be, don't believe the hyperbole
It's like a murder spree, get sniped verbally
Or beat in the head with lead pipe languages
For street cred leave him for dead in anguishments
The slang suggest it was a guy in the glasses
Who came to help the people with they minds and they asses
You set trip and get a grip like Spalding
These walls is thin, feel genuine ballskin [echoes]
