re: What's your favorite Old Skool rap/hip hop song?

Lot of good songs in this thread.

I consider old skool at least 20 years old. Lot of great songs before '93.

Hard to name just one but a few favorites

Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg-Deep Cover-needs no explanation
Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg-Nuthin but a G thang-epic
Wu Tang- Protect ya Neck- the introduction
Das Efx- They want Efx-very, very underrated song and album
Pete Rock and CL Smooth-They Reminisce Over You-just a great song
A Tribe Called Quest-Scenario-Busta Rhymes gave a glimpse of what the future would hold

Now a couple of songs that are laughed off and ridiculed but if you were around in that era and a hip hop listener or just a music listener in general, you know you still jam to them when you hear them. I've been in clubs that to this day play them and they still get quite the reaction

MC Hammer-Can't Touch This-Everybody from country arse rednecks to elitist assholes jammed to this when it was out

House of Pain-Jump Around-still popular today.

And the all timer
Vanilla Ice-Ice Ice Baby- say what you want but you know you still pump it when it comes on. Hate him or love him, Ice had one of the best delivery's of all time.
