Old-School Rap Musings

I got the below email from a friend musing on old-school rap. He’s hilariously honest and believes stereotypes are a time-saver. Enjoy!

“I’ve been listening to the old-school rap channel on Sirius non-stop for about 3 days. I’ve realized a few things:

• There will never be a better sample than the bells in the Peter Piper beat by RUN DMC.

• There is absolutely no reason why Heavy D had a huge crossover career and Big Daddy Kane did not.

• 95% of all Tribe Called Quest songs were terrible, except for the 5% that were genius.

• No matter what anyone tries to tell you, women can’t rap.

• Old-school rap, for the most part, isn’t nearly as good as I remember it.”

1. Heavy D performed the theme song for In Living Color and Big Daddy Kane didn’t. I think that might’ve done it.

2. I actually think that 5% of ATCQ’s songs are garbage…and 95% are genius…
