I think it is now, Jester. Although I guess it all really depends on when you grew up.

It's not really my opinion that the 90's didn't happen in the 80's.

When someone asks me what music I like... I say old school stuff like Nas, Wu Tang, Big L, etc.

Your idea of what is old school isn't the end all to the discussion. It's just your opinion dude.

Yeah, I'm with Dirty on this one.

Old school hip hop = 80's hip hop.

Golden age hip hop generally begins in the late 80's -> mid 90's.

Look, on a timeline of hip hop, the 90's is far from the beginning; it's not old school.

If 90's is old school, according to you guys, then what's 80's?

Old school.

Quite being an ass, this is incredibly subjective. I've heard plenty of people refer to the early to mid 80s as Golden Age hip hop. There's no one standard. Heck, even wikipedia reads it "usually cited as being a period varying in time frames during the 1980s and 1990s" and the artists most commonly "assoicated with the phrase are Public Enemy, Boogie Down Productions, Eric B. & Rakim, Beastie Boys, Big Daddy Kane, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, and the Jungle Brothers".

I don't even use the phrase because personally I think it's stupid. To me, anything 15 years or older I generally lump into "old school". It's not like those phrases are even genres themselves, so there's practically no solid ground to debate these terms on. Just categorize it however you want: your right. he's right. I'm right. we're all happy. let's get funnel cake.

Great, so anything before the present is old school. So, in like, ten years, the 00's are gonna be old school too?

Yes. According to Conan. According to Jester, maybe not. You see the picture I'm painting for you?
