Old School Friday - Old School Hip Hop
Categories: Blogging, Entertainment
Written By: Shawn Williams
The category for Old School Friday is “Old School Hip Hop.” It’s really not fair because there are just so many choices. I thought about Public Enemy, Boogie Down Productions, even M.C. Lyte. But I found something a little closer to home.
My old school joint hails from Houston, Texas - 5th Ward to be exact. It’s on of the top 3 or 4 rap songs of all time. I remember the first time I heard My Mind’s Playin’ Tricks on Me. I was in a dorm room at Prairie View A&M for a summer program in 1991. It was the summer leading into my senior year in high school.
Happy OSF!!!

This was one of my favorite Geto Boys jams! But Scarface owned that record!!

I enjoyed when rap was diverse - fun party rap, socially concious, and about life in the ‘hood.
I remember this almost word for word.
Happy OSF.

Yeah I remember this one.
Wasn’t this the group the Guru was in? I adore Jazzamatazz.
Have a great weekend.
In light and love
