maybe a more pc name for late 80s-early 90s rap would be second wave hip hop.

people define old school by what wouldnt sell if it came out today. a generation considers the old school to extend into the mid 90s. We FEEL that when gangsta rap became dominant, thats really when the old school ended.....again.

That's pretty dumb to tag a group called "Leaders of the New School" old school.

electro-hop did not come after old school rap. they coincided - i will be changing that description. that would be like saying that World Class Wreckin Cru, Uncle Jamm's Army, Egyptian Lover all started in 1986-1989 which is way backwards
