I listen to some rap, but most of the new skool stuff like enimem is just completely **** IMO. Here is what you ought to be listening to;

Cypress Hill - Hits from the bong, Insane in the membrane
Grandmaster Flash & the furious five - The message, White lines.

not newskool but still newer;

Xzibit - Paparazzi
2pac - Hit em up, Changes

Any other oldskool, or new skool rap listeners in here?

Your post is worded strangely, but nothing that you listed except Flash should be considered old school. Regardless, I love hip hop. I've been listening to it since I was in grade school. Other hot old school artists are:
Boogie Down Productions
Ultramagnetic MC's
Eric B & Rakim
EPMD
Pete Rock & CL Smooth
LL Cool J (used to be the ****)
Kurtis Blow
Big Daddy Kane
Brand Nubian
Public Enemy
Kool Moe Dee
Spoonie Gee

I like all different types of Hip-Hop, some old school acts that are my favorites would have to be..

Public Enemy
N.W.A.
Rakim
Wu-Tang
DJ Quik

Newer Hip-Hop gets a bad rap, there are plenty of good rappers out there right now.

Z-RO
Cormega
Murs
Roscoe
Royce Da 5'9"

how old is old? 98? 93? or 88? of course when you say old school, boogie down productions, big daddy kane or eric b & rakim comes to mind.
i can tell you what's bad(ie the whole shady record) and i can tell you what's good. i can't tell you what's great though. i find it hard to defind so called the great or even the greatest. from good i think it's more like personal preference.

You want old school? How about 1962?

 

[kwitel]

Tribe Called Quest
De La Soul
EPMD
Leaders of the New School
Public Enemy
Ghetto Boys
Early Mobb Deep (nearly 15 yrs!?)
Digital Underground
3rd Bass (lol-remember those idiots?)
Beasties-License to Ill is def. old school
GangStarr

Who were the guys always dressed in the South African garb (red, green and yello) and holding Septors??

 

[Uncle Erik]

How about:

Schooly D
The Fat Boys

They were lots of fun before rap went commercial and started taking itself way too seriously.

Here are some classics to get for your collection-

Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet
Run DMC - self titled
Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill
Cypress Hill - self titled

and for some newer stuff definitely check out Jurassic 5

 

[falang]

Cyprus Hill = old school? Not sure bout that, nor its quality.

How about Tribe, Del, Pharcyde, Souls of Mischief?

Recent....Common is fine.

So UTFO -- huhh -- bust disssss!

Loved that album back in the 80s. Roxanne, Roxanne... I wanna be your man! Picked it up on vinyl a year or two ago. From the days when rap used to be just slightly raunchy but mostly fun and tasteful.

 

[Spareribs]

PM Dawn is my absolute favorite rapper. He's old school I suppose but no rapper is as smooth as PM Dawn.
