Like 1979 - 1983 is old school

Run DMC is "new school"

From Eric B and Rakin to Wu-Tang is "Golden era."

Say 1994 - 2001 is "Classic Hop Hop"

2001-2015 is contemporaneity hip hop.

2015-2016 is NEW music..

The did this in the 80's - they had radio stations that played decades - not music types. We had 70's, 60's, 50's AND 40's. As time went on 40's dis-aapeared. Then 50's and 60's melded into one. Then 80's became a thing. The Classic rock replaces 70's, 60's, and 50's.

Enjoy the music you like and KIM when some radio DJ is blathering on - they we'rent shit when we were kids and they ain't shit now.
