So I have been kind of into the old school gangsta rap scene for a while, but I know that 'real’ Old School rap was happening way earlier. I really like the Wild Style movie soundtrack, and want some more stuff along the lines of that.

Any recommendations? Thanks.

Try "The Hunted Child" by Ice-T.

Grandmaster Flash & Furious Five

Treacherous Three

Afrika Bambaataa

Kool DJ Herc

Look around for the two albums by UTFO (particularly the first) -- Roxanne, Roxanne!

. I used to love old-school rap back in the 80s, these days I really don't listen to it (much). Old Run-DMC is pretty great stuff too.

This looks very promissing, if expensive: Big Apple Rappin'. I was this close to buying it at my Tower Records, but alas, no samples.

That looks pretty interesting. Normally I am not so into collections but it sounds like alot of old school rappers' releases were predominantly singles.

And thanks to everone else for the suggestions as well.
