I think you have to look at the music in two ways - what was the impact it had on you then and what is the impact it has on you now.

Sure, I liked a lot of the stuff from the early '80's that's been mentioned, but I find if I listen to it now it's just corny. Whodini, Fat Boys - can't even listen without laughing.

But later on in the decade, you have the second, third and fourth PE albums that not only blew my mind then, they blow my mind now. Never mind the first 3 Ice-T albums, Straight Outta Compton, Paul's Boutique, BDP's second album, Big Daddy Kane's first album - those aren't just great rap albums, they're great albums period and if you look at any Top 100 list, a lot of them make it on there.

So yeah, that early stuff was fresh because it was so new, but the later stuff was simply amazing.

And anyone heard No More Rock N Roll or Put Your Filas On lately? Listening to satellite radio I've heard both recently and laughed my ass off. Long Live Schooly D!
