I only give like three Obs credibility to even answer this poll...my three would be GrandMF&THFF, RunDMC & PE.

I have a dream where Shiv and Joey Crack come to my crib and spin all my old school vinyl. After they recover from they heart attacks.

Remember Odds Bodkins?

I think that was his name. Use to post mixes/streams/podcasts of old school hip hop pretty often.

Here's my latest mix:

Kickin It Back High School Vol. 1 (1990-1991)

01. Kid Sensation - Two Minutes
02. Paris - Panther Power
03. Above The Law - Menace To Society
04. Organized Konfusion - Prisoner Of War
05. Compton's Most Wanted - I Give Up Nothin'
06. Merlin - Feel The Fury
07. Low Profile - Alladin's On A Rampage
08. Lord Finesse & DJ Mike Smooth
09. Poor Righteous Teachers - Holy Intellect
10. Black Sheep - The Choice Is Yours
11. KMD - Who Me? (With An Answer From Dr. Bert)
12. Leaders Of The New School - Teachers, Don't Teach Us Nonsense!
13. Main Source - Large Professor
14. Del Tha Funkee Homosapien - Sleepin On My Couch
15. X-Clan - Tribal Jam
16. A Tribe Called Quest - Jazz
17. Intelligent Hoodlum - Party Pack
18. Digital Underground - Tales Of The Funky

Tried not to repeat any artists from my late 80s mix, hence no PE, LL Cool J, etc. The only significant artists I'm missing (I think) are Ice Cube and Cypress Hill. They may appear in Vol. 2 though. Oh, and Brand Nubian, which I have but they somehow snuck out of my itunes.

He's also a purveyor of fine beers. Forgot all about his old school hip hop cred.
