That's a tough call...I can't give a list in order as I really don't have any top preference <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> A few of my faves from the 80's would definitely include:

Run DMC
Slick Rick
LL Cool J
Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince
Beastie Boys

It's tough to put them in order but here are some of my favorite rap groups of the 80's.

1 Eric B and Rakim
2 Public Enemy
3 Run-D.M.C.
4 Fat Boys
5 Egyptian Lover
6 World Class Wreckin' Crew (Dr. Dre's first group)
7 Stetsasonic
8 Boogie Down Productions

So many more I can't think of off hand.

Some good names going on. I will have to add:
UTFO Whodini Grandmaster Melle Mel

Ive never heard of those. <img src="cool.gif" border="0">

Think ya need to do a little more research on the old skool <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> There's a whole world of great music you probably have yet to discover <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

White Lines...Vision dreams of passion flowing through my mind...<img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Well, not really, but I needed to reference something <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

Maybe I should've just blurted...Roxanne, Roxanne! I wanna be your man <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Yeah! Those guys are really "Old Skool". From back in the very early 80's. Hey, Roem. Remember when Roxanne-Roxanne made a come back song to UTFO's? That was pretty cool. Kind of a like a dual going on.

Wasn't that Roxanne Shante who did that? Think the song was called 'Roxanne's Revenge'. It was definitely a direct reply to UTFO's song...<img src="eek.gif" border="0">

You are a plethora of knoweldge!!! Yep! Correct on both counts. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

I am right now, but have no time. You see I don't own a computer. I use my cousin's one. Also just got fired from a job so now ill have more time. Plus i was born in 1984 so i was pretty young. It's wierd because i can't remember anything anyone tells me and recall it 5 minutes later. Yet I remember almost everything about the 80's. <img src="cool.gif" border="0">

Hah! I've been known to have that kind of "Selective" memory myself. Actually comes in useful sometimes... <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> If you were born in '84 though, all of the groups I listed would have been out before you were born. Try and find some old Whodini stuff. They were really good (IMHO). See if you can't scrounge up a copy of "The freaks come out at night".

Well, I was a DJ for four years afterall <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> Hip hop was a specialty of mine and I've always loved the old skool. Overall I'm just a music nut <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

I have a 5 C.D. set of Sugarhill records, 4 C.D. set of Def Jam and 4 C.D. set of Tommy Boy records. All must haves for any "old school" fans. "the real Roxanne" was credited to The Real Roxanne but I do believe that was Roxanne Shante. Do you remember "Roxanne's parents", "Roxanne's doctor", "Roxanne's a man" and so on and so forth? I love old school and can't believe I forgot Whodini and U.T.F.O. Grandmaster Melle Mel did the rap on Chaka Khan's "I feel for you" and was a member of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. How can we mention old school without mentioning The Sugarhill Gang, they were only the first commercially successful rap group.
