    Strong Island by JVC Force, utterly brilliant track. Use to hear it all the time on pirate stations in London circa 89! Public Enemy as well (saw them twice in the 80’s).

    Also like the deckreca and most stiuff that was on ronin records from 90’s, and the Egyptian Lover tracks from the 80’s…

    Seriously you LOSE. Hip hop developed in the 80s and grew at an alarmimg rate. If you missed it, you don’t really understand it. maybe you should stick with eminem?

    Loved 80’s Hip hop, but don’t really have much time for most new stuff. Don’t know if it’s just nostalgia or that I get sick of hearing about sipping cristal or however you spell it.

    There are tracks from public enemy, grandmaster flash etc that will probably be played another twenty years from now, there are very few classics coming up from the Nu skool.

    BontyBuns, what is hiphip?

    Fear of a Black Planet. One of those albums that I’ve bought twice in 20yrs. Good bass REALLY does that album justice. 😀

    I never rode a Klunker whilst wearing flared jeans. I don’t really understand mountain biking.

    Sorry. As you were 😳
