Remember when hip hop was fresh and fun! From b-boy dancing, to the DJ scratching and mixing records, to the coolest 80’s hip hop movies and trends…it’s all here. Re-take this quick journey down hip hop’s early years. My next installment, The Golden Age, will focus on the ladies of hip hop, gangsta rap, east coast versus west coast, and so much more!

I'm glad I'm not alone when it comes to missing the way it use to be with hip hop and not just with hip hop any music in particular from that era because what they got out there today makes me wish I had a time machine
That was real HIP HOP !! The begininng off all music style from now…. Hip Hop, Pop, Electronic Music…. all token influences from the electro boogie breakin hip hop !! BEST TIME EVER. It was not only raps lyrics "fuck police nigga" !! It had a sense, wenn you listened old school breakin you want to move and dance.. and not go fight in the getto likes gangs. It was battle music, battle, break dance, battle lirics but always with peace and love spirit !!
I remember when I was in high school in 2006 I started breaking. My dad never wanted me to break cause he thought its called breakdancing cause you can "break" your bones. That's an old school parent for ya.lol.
Take Blacks out of Hip Hops beggining leave only the Hispanics and what on Earth do you think would've been created? Literally nothing Cool or World changing…Black Culture creates GREATNESS…see Blues Jazz Rock and Roll R&B… Reggae…etc Take Blacks out of American entertainment and all your left with is Violence and Corny music…weak slang..weak comedy…etc
Hip-Hop IS NOT Pop, Top 40, or Dance music. This is an entirely different narrative created by those that steal.

RIP Ozone!!!
RUNDMC got on the scene in the early 80s, not the mid 80s.
Out of order and all over the place. Great memories but not exactly in timeline order. Could’ve been a lot better.

Me personally I think the electro funk era of hip hop was the best. You had to have been there to feel where I’m coming from.
Bring back the old school attitude! Rap is dying today literally from all the hard drugs and in-fighting,but it's good to keep the real Hip-hop alive!
