   You went straight for GmF! Like my old friend from Atlanta, whenever we'd start playing old school, she'd bust out with Kool Moe Dee, GmF, Kurtis Blow, etc. It became a big joke with us, lol. (You wouldnt be Angel from Atlanta, would you?)

    Hah!! This thread is LIVE! You guys are throwing out some great ones. I wasn't much of a hip hop fan back in the day (gasp!), as you can tell, I was more into alternative and rock (my boyfriend was in a rock band, crazy memories). But I think my first love for hip hop came around with Slick Rick - I looooooooove Children's Story, that is one of the tightest beats in history, IMO.

    And another of my favorites from the 80s (I saw these guys in concert, up close, so I got a thing for them!)
