Early hip-hop records, old school hip-hop, was all over the place.It might've been a house band interpolating some A Taste of Honey jam while 4 rappers +1 trade 8-bar freestyles for like 39 minutes straight.Or it could have been a DJ mixing together Queen and Blondie for 8 minutes with some Flash Gordon samples thrown in for good measure.But then Run-DMC comes out and suddenly hip-hop is them young wylers yellin "MONEY'S THE KEY TO END ALL YOUR WOES" over 808s.And it's basically still that 35 years later. For better or for worse.The New School of Hip-Hop. Hardcore Hip-Hop. The Golden Age of Hip-Hop. All that shit starts when Run-DMC drops their first single.
