Talk:Old-school hip hop

message: I dont think this page should be built like this and should instead merely serve as a link page to refer to previous decade hiphop pages (90s, 80s, etc).
The problem with the term 'old school' hiphop is that it is constantly redefined with age.  There is nothing concrete about the term 'old school'.   The distinction of Run DMC, T La Rock etc in 1984 as the shift is pretty clear, but i dont think the term old school is appropriate.  New artists consider Run DMC old school.  Young hiphop kids dont even know who Run DMC is and refer to Dr Dre and Snoop as old school. The term old school will constantly shift regardless of anyone trying to apply it as a label to any hiphop era, it simply wont stick over time.

:Get some citations to back up your points - there are multiple reliable sources that say that old school is a fixed period from the mid 70s to '84, so you'd need a lot of evidence from reliable sources to back up the claim that it is a shifting time frame.

message: Not sure exactly how to cite it, but old school referring to 90's hip hop is used on many radio stations and tv channels, it's used on BET, sometimes MTV2, etc.

message: Is there any place that lists it as Old Skool? That's what I call it, but I'm not sure if I got it somewhere or just thought it'd be cool to make it look more "urban".
:"Old skool" as opposed to "old school"? The main "old school" page tells a bit about it, but it doesn't seem to mean exactly the same thing as "old school hip hop". Λυδαcιτγ 01:21, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Ive noticed that there are numerous sections of the article in which text is repeated word-for-word in a second, often consecutive, paragraph. I feel that this presents a very redundant and somewhat careless feel for the article, and should be altered accordingly. 216.36.17.5 22:21, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I disagree where the article says new school started in 1984.They are kind of saying that Run DMC started and is the reason for New School. No one started new school. New school is just the era your in. The old school rappers would consider themselves new school, back then. But now there old school. Mainly because most of them retired, they've been raping for more than 10 years, or maybe because that wasn't in the 2000, 2010 decade. New School would mainly be considered as 2000 through now. Mainly because were still in the 2000s.(I know were in the 2010s)So I would consider Old School as 1979-1999.  166.82.187.246 (talk) 01:55, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
