Back in the day, when i was just a shorty, my mother introduced me to the oldies. The real hip-hop. I have a few favorites from back in the day: Slick Rick, Common, Mos Def, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Public Enemy, Lauryn Hill, Talib Kwell, Heavy D, Run DMC, KRS One, etc. Its almost everyday where I turn off the new hip-hop and its a must for me to listen to my all time favs. Forget all the nonsense you hear now-a-days, OLD SCHOOL IS MY DRUG; I'M AN ADDICT.
