Damn, now that Phil is gone, there's no one left to legitimately put you on blast for you liberal use of "old school". Anyway mine is The Sequence & Sugarhill Gang : Jam Jam
After new school = Next School is the only term I've heard that I remotely liked
A good thing to remember is this: Leaders of the New School dropped their first album in 1991, which was roughly in the middle of the 'golden era'
I do History of Hip Hop classes for everything to young kids summer camps to College Lectures and I find the easy way to explain Hip Hop is to break it into eras. Here's how do it (disclaimer: I always express that this isn't the standard way but my way based on a variety of information)
I.Pioneering Age ('72-'78): focus on Kool Herc, Flash, Bam and Hip Hops influences
(ex: disco djs, radio jocks, reggae, etc...). Discuss how the DJ is
the prominent factor.
II.Old School ('79-'82): focus on the crews in this era like Furious Five,
Co Crush, Fearless Four, Disco Four, Kurtis Blow, etc... Explain that
this era starts with the first rap "records". Also, discuss the
shift from the DJ to the Rapper.
III.Middle School ('83-'85): this is a brief period that is separated from
the Old School because of the introduction of the drum machine (which
starts in '82 but becomes the standard by '83). Focus on Run DMC,
TLA Rock, & Def Jam. Also, talk about Hip Hop going national and
beyond (a.k.a commercial) mainly from B-boying/Breakdancing. With
a key element being the rap movies: beat street, breakin, flash dance,
wild style, the pilot, etc... Also, talk about how this is when
labels branding became more competive and prominent
IV.Golden Age ('86-'89): focus on the introduction of the sampler and sampled
drums. focusing on Ultramagnetics, Marley Marl, Juice Crew, Flavor Unit,
Public Enemy, Boogie Down Productions, Rakim, and many more. Also focus on
the use of James Brown samples, the rise of the West Coast (Ex: NWA).
V.Production Era ('90-'94): This era we discuss how this is when the producer
really become the key element and also the first time where album really had
multiple producers (EX: Lord Finesse)
VI.Internet/Indie Era ('95-present): I don't usually talk much about this. I just
introduce and say that not a whole lot has changed since from the early/mid
90s and the key differences are the focus on being Indie (ex: Wu tang, Company
Flow, etc...) & the popularity of the internet. I figure they should know this
or can easily figure it out.
Of couse there's a lot of other stuff I cover in each of these but this is just what came ot mind off the top. How deep I go depends on the age group and/or the length of the lecture...
co-sign on the outlaw four...and the "do you wanna go to the liquor store..." classic pic cover on that one...joe cooley gets serious with the good lord scratch variations..."get some eightball bay-bee...we'll get drunk- oh we'll get dru-unk..." when a friend heard the eightball singsong they thought it was about coke and got excited. rip spade.
i don't think i've heard the above sharod jam(unfortunately).
i've been knockin: Fly Guy - Fly Guy Rap aka The Perfect High (gotta love the gimme some roy shel silverstein stylee) and a classic juice crew jammie: Tragedy/Craig G - Live and Direct From the House of Hits. "renegade rebel with a style that's well put."
Old School = Anything pre Run-DMC Golden Era = '84/'85-'92/'93 New school = anything post Run-DMC
