I wonder how do you define it in hip-hop? What artists do you consider old school?
A few years ago I'd say with a huge dose of certainty that it's artists like NWA, Public enemy, 80s and very early 90s. In the 90s artists often used the term "Old school" mentioning artists from the 80s and those who performed soon after hip-hop started (take 2pac's "Old school" as an example).
What is old school now? Is 2pac, the early Wu-tang etc. old school?
For some people everything pre 2000 is considered to be old school. Will in 10 years 2009 be considered old school?
Or is it a matter of our own age?
