80's Rap

[skooldem1]

Not much of a fan of today's rap and hip hop. However, the 80's produced some great raps. I know we don't talk much, if any about hip hop and rap in this forum. What were some of your favorites?

And the response to the diss of that song:

But then, the haymaker to end the feud:
