| The mighty Grandmaster Flash at work here: Being from the streets of NYC and growing up in Brooklyn, NY, I am a big fan of old hip hop and reggae. But it wasn't until I was older and could appreciate it more until I heard Grandmaster Flash on the radio. Since then, I try to score as much old hip hop and reggae as I could possibly find (as well as some great breakbeat). So here is a list of some must own stuff: Wu Tang Clan- Method Man Funkdoobiest- Rock On Onyx- Slam Granmaster Flash- The Message Musical Youth- Pass The Dutchie A Tribe Called Quest- Scenario Junior M.A.F.I.A- Gettin' Money (not really old, but I really like the song) Beenie Man- Who Am I? Public Enemy- 911 Is A Joke Sugar Hill Gang- Rapper's Delight Chaka Demus & Pliers- Murder She Wrote LL Cool J- Rock The Bells Run DMC- Run's House Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock- It Takes 2 House Of Pain- Jump Around Naughty By Nature- O.P.P. If you want some really hot old Breakbeat records to sample, I've got some really good ones here for you: The Clash- This Is Radio Clash Malcom McLaren- Buffalo Girls Freeze- I.O.U. Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam- I Wonder If I Take You Home Beastie Boys- Cookie Puss C-Tank- One More Shot Raze- Break 4 Love MARRS- Pump Up The Volume (Although a couple of these are not true breakbeat, the dub/instrumental versions provide great loops to sample.) This list is for the true hip hop fan who wants some old skool flava. This list should help. Some of these are hard to come by, so search the net to see what you can find.
