I'm talking about classic rap, from back in the day before it was all about showing how much money you have, and how big your rims are, and how illiterate you are. Good examples of groups include Naughty by Nature, Public Enemy, Tribe Called Quest, N.W.A... Their lyrics were sooooo good and creative. I need to increase my album library and I want to have more classic rap other than the 3 that I have now.

oh you're kidding! i can't believe someone put Jay-Z. I'd swallow a gallon of broken glass before I grouped him with classic rap acts.

those are all bangers from the 90's, back when it took skill to be able to call yourself a emcee and not just a record deal and a mic. Also in the summer 8 diagrams and only built 4 cuban linx 2 comes out, if only built 4 buban linx 2 is antyhign like the original its gonna be a classic and wu tang has never put out pop bullshit and called it rap, so bob would imagine 8 diagrams is gonna be a classic too. like RZA said "how can hip hop be dead if wu tangs forever?"
