  • This is the stuff that real music is made of, in fact thai is real music. Thank God that someone can still hold up the banner of ol skool and proudly wave it for everyone in the world to see. These were the songs that were inspired from the everyday trials of life, and someone decided to write songs about them.

    Thank God for those ol skool artist.

  • This song is from the soul of a man missing a woman. Ole Skool was about the lyrics. It was easy to identify with what they were singing about. The power to soothe was in the understanding just where they were coming from and just where they were trying to take you! Hang on, its been too long...No vulgar lyrics, no disrespectful names, just soulful moans and groans because it has been too long!
