[thesingle38]

THIS I WHAT I CALL OLD SCHOOL MUSIC......REAL MUSIC NOT LIKE TODAYS GARBAGE!!!!!!THOSE WERE THE DAYS.......UNLIKE TODAYS MUSIC THIS WILL NEVER GET OLD

[THEGetFreshCrew1]

DEFINITELY, funky fresh!!! Old school hip-hop is where it's at. The 1980's was the best decade for sure. 1978-1990 is the period for the ultimate rap.

[jserrano95205]

for the blacks. puerto ricans, and the white people too"!!!!

[bal42007]

[dedeguarau]

para mim,com certeza os anos 80 foram os melhores,não resta a menor duvida

[rockdoggiedog]

Thanks for posting this, and keeping memories alive. and yes, the 80's rocked, as long as you hated boy george.....

[scribeworksmusic]

I Miss Yall !!!

[Jstar141957]

Mantronix is still fresh!

[Callymasta]

Hip Hop in its purest form, beats made from scratch....

[automatikman365]

"Like a panty-raid night at an all-girl dorm ... " Point blank - it doesn't get any "fresher" than this & sadly it more than likely never will ... The 80's hip-hop era was the epitome of "fresh" - new, creative, unprecedented & innovative; pushing all barriers (and woofers) until we danced our a**es off ... Mad love to those who represented - your legacy will never perish & for those who still jam to 80's hip hop, I'm feelin' you ... Peace, peoples

[lemonproject]

RIP Hip Hop.

@lemonproject what a fitting name. Are you still alive from a month ago? Or did your depression cause you to find a .25cent solution to all your problems? Don't be so sour, Hip hop is a Steardy Hoe. She just needed a lil Louis Pasture Moment in the 90's, and now she is getting out of rehab. She had a lot to live for and look forward to.

[Rholt71]

Tr 808 all the way on this joint! the Tr 606 didn't have handclaps, cowbell, or rimshot. MC, scratching, and beat machine no keyboards, gitar, strings, or horns. thats classic hip hop!!!

[bqe1985]

Hip hop does not exist anymore because it does not contain the esential elements of the scratching and samples, of old school from the 80's.

[SJJNAMARTIN]

@bqe1985 @thesingle38 NO DOUBT!!!!!!!!! the BEST times, not like todays JUNK, all SEX ,DRUGS,VIOLENCE crap we get brainwashed with.... back then it was spinning FREASH BEETS, and dancing!

"Those where the days" nice to have The Internet to keep the 'MEMORIES" aLIvE

[Khultan]

@bqe1985 LOL I ain't thumbin' you up for that.

[jpizzlefromDaBay]

@bqe1985 So true so so so true

[jpizzlefromDaBay]

@bqe1985 Smartest thing anyone has said on HIPHOP Thank you.  I

[jpizzlefromDaBay]

@bqe1985 Pure Hip Hop was about the DJ and the Rapper. The Rapper wasnt shit without his DJ , Word up man, You know Hi Hop..

[productionleader1]

'85 was the year I graduated from junior high and starting high school in Newyork but moved to southwest Miami instead. I remember there were about 5 or 6 of us from New york in my new school in southwest Miami that used to blast this song in our residential upper class neighborhood, while all the other kids were into newwave and GQ stuff, like Miami Vice, ha ha ha

[pomfrit93]
