I still have a crate full of old-school Hip Hop (Rap) records. Most of them are about 20 years old. Back then, Hip Hop was underground, so I had to borrow my father’s car and drive to Los Angeles to look for records.

I used to tune my Radio to AM 1580 at night. If I get lucky, I would get a faint reception. Oh, how I enjoyed listening to Greg Mack, the Mack Attack.

Then, late 80s, Rap turned mainstream. I even saw the gang from Saved By the Bell rapping. That’s when I completely stopped listening to rap music.

They used to have some good Hip Hop music back then. 

I had 2 turntables and a cheap Realistic mixer from RadioShack. I had fun making my own mixtapes. I made very little money doing DJs for parties as well. I didn’t DJ too much, because I was what they called a “Sucker DJ”

I found this mix from YouTube – below is the kind of music I used to listen to.
