    I like the old school stuff because of the subject matter.

    Growing up Public Enemy, LL Cool J, Big Daddy Kane, Scarface, Too Short, Spice 1, NWA, ICE-T, Run-DMC, KRS-one were all people I listened to. When I got older it was pretty much Death Row Records all the way. I was also a fan of No Limit (in the beginning) and Nas. I wasn’t really into anything from the east coast probably because no one around here was listening to them. Exposure to music is everything. I was more of a believer in supporting local artists anyway, but having a hiphop podcast dedicated to the old school is a good idea. Hopefully there will be personal stories that come with the music.

    Yo Torrence ,Davies Daily just became the best show on the net for me, That Fat Albert impression was MAD funny, the world needs footage of you jumping rope.

    • CyberCam says:

      Yo Torrence, I agree with Kapado… I’m still rewinding that jump rope portion of the video and LMFAO! I’ve even edited out that part & e-mailed to my friends! Man… I haven’t laughed so much in a long time! Thanks for the jokes!

      About the youngsters now a days appreciating old school rap/hip hop… don’t waste your breath man, for the most part they don’t have many values these days. Concious lyrics about world around them means nothing, for the most part it’s all about money, women, killing, bling bling and cars… at least that’s all I presently hear rap lyrics talk about mainly.

    I think the kids today don’t know or care how hiphop originated. All they want to do is listen to some bullshit ass lyrics and do a stupid ass dance that’s comes included with the dumass song. I like West coast hiphop. I don’t really listen to East coast hiphop that much, but I do respect what the East coast has done for hiphop

    When You where naming pioneers LOL i thought you were gonna go way back like melle mel or grand master flash and the furious 5. I think some don’t realize that between then and now there are different generations. The younger generations are more in tune with snap/crank a.k.a Souja Boy music, the middle generations are more into everything from LL Cool J to Little Brother and then you have your older gen where they prefer the kool mo dee, MC shan and the older heads. I respect the pioneers and those who influence so many even to this day. I grew up when Big daddy kane, Rakim and Eric B busted onto the scene can’t forget the Juice crew (Masta Ace was that dude).

    Now on to the games….

    God damn Lost Planet 2 looked amazing! Shit looked really fun. Reminds me of Bionic Commando when zip lining lol.

    Anybody who want some uber epic old skoo style hip-hop, but with modern beats and disguisting lyrics, check out the new stuff from Canibus and K-rino. These are (IMO)the best in the industry and the only rap I listen to besides them are RZA, MosDef, The Roots, some Lupe Fiasco and a few others I can’t remember now. The infinite rhyme Canibus came up with alone is AMAZING and when you think of all the mixes that sprung forth from that one song it shows you that he’s taking rap in another direction. You tube some of the Poet Laureate Infinity mixes like Mark My Wordz, Combined Minds, Musica Universalis, The Fountainhead, Onimusha, My World, The Spark of Life, and Through The Strings Of Infinity. To think he made a song that could be mixed in so many styles and crazy complexity is just insane!

    Anybody curious, just check out some of those and keep in mind there are over 300 mixes of that one song to come out over the pasy year alone.
