Old School Hip Hop Mega Mix One 

hip hop got better and better then the 2000s came and it went shitter and shitter and shitter

KRS One said it best: "Rap is something you DO... Hip Hop is something you Live." Hip Hop culture was born from urban plight with the influence of other cultural forms of expression. Hip Hop music speaks for and from the culture. Rap music is music based on the sake of rhyming. Yet, Rapping is an elemental aesthetic in Hip Hop music. Ultimately Hip Hop consists of Rap, but Rap does not consist of Hip Hop.

Song at 4:40

We just brought back the original recipe to how a megamix is suppose to sound like. This is an old school formula of layering, cutting, phasing, mixing, and edits. I hope we get to hear this formula again one day from the new jacks.

For all you fools claiming that 90's Hip Hop is Old Skool, think again. Do your research incase you weren't even around at the time of the real Old Skool!! Late 70's-80's=OLD SKOOL!!!!!!!

this is where my mind goes when I dream of the Hip Hop that inspires my soul!

These where the good times for HIP HOP and not the shit they play today...!!! Really cool Video and a really head busting Mix...!!! I whana hear and see more...!!!

Man, do I miss these days! Thanks for sharing this, Scholar!

Nothin like ORIGINALITY.

BTW the cadence you heard before the Jay Z and Epmd vocals was by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 called "Superrappin'". A live band was simulating the bassline of "Seven Minutes of Funk" which was due before Hip Hop music starting recording samples. "Superrappin'" can be found on Enjoy Records.

I'm glad I got kicked out the crib from Down-south to go back home in'77....Just in time for HIPHOP...NY STYLE!....

I was born in the wrong time if only I was born in 1969 instead of 99

That is a good question. As soon as I get that outline from our DJ, I can get you that answer in detail. And yes, all tracks you hear ARE on original vinyl. Not even reprints btw. The best way to protect vinyl for many years is to keep them packed tight for zero stress; to inspect your needles; keep the vinyl clean from finger oil and other residues; and to balance and lock your turntable arms. You never want too much weight coming from a needle. Thanks for the props, Brotha!

REAL HIP HOP WILL NEVER DIE!!! Classic Beats, rhymes and rhythms are classic for a reason. *justsayin*

Nice effort and potential. Keep in mind, LL was 15 when the original Rock The Bells and Radio was released. He was very sophisticated at that age, even though it has been rumored E-Love had helped with his rhymes. But that is just a rumor. If you do not mind my critique; you just have to keep practicing over ALL kinds of beats to become an emcee, AND you need to practice spitting over a live DJ cutting beats to become the real deal. Most new jacks can't do that because they have no history.

second, before you record your lyrics to an actual recording; get your tracks first then write to the beat. Spread out your syllables if you have to and find a style of saying those words. It is not always about the lyrics but the flow and delivery. A problem many new recording emcees face is that they do not craft their rhymes to the beat. They write at the last minute and when their songs are released it sounds offbeat. There is nothing special about writing rhymes in the studio. It's lazy.

Wow, do we have time? I will contact DJ GrandSinister Ice to lay it down. Understand there can possibly be 2-6 tracks layered together which means there can easily be 40-60 pieces used! Thanks for checking out the mix. I hope you feel traditional Hip Hop as it was meant to be!

This Tru-School for ya azz! Hip_Hop not Rap! The Bronx was the !st to start hip hop culture! You notice the lyrics isn't talking about taking lives...like now that Corp America has their hands on it.

OG, we are STILL there with that vibe and flavor. Remember we got to pass that passion and culture down to the shorties. The graff writers got it! The Bboys got it! The DJs still burn it! But the emcees forgot. We got to save the MCs. We need more new cats like People Under The Stairs, Murs, and Chali2na. We need more Em, De La Soul, Mos Def, and KRS.

Big Ups to the DJ...Diggin' Your Old School Vibe Here!

Never stop, never quit, never die...from the barrios to the red bricks and the shanty towns to the hill tops and the shores abroad...we all gotta keep this joint rockin on!

K Boogie, thank you! Brother we are connected by Hip Hop roots. We at Old School Scholar are thrilled by engaging with the love of our nation of Hip Hop. I hope one day we will have a Hip Hop festival like the original WoodStock. Just peace and funk for a whole weekend. That way we can treat it like a family reunion because we are family.

My MAN!!! Wow.. I could NOT take my eyes off this vid! As i watched this vid I was smiling and singing along with EVERY track!!! Made me realize how far Hip Hop has come, how long I've lived and how connected I've been to this culture!! Thanks homie! TOTALLY made my day! HUGE props on the production!!

third, be inspired by listening to all kinds of music; read all kinds of literature; and study the old ways and science of rocking parties. Never emcee for self. Emcee to rock and shock the crowd. Ultimately, the crowd makes the emcee in the end. People listen to music to feel good; they listen to cyphers to be amused; and they buy your music because you brought an emotional/cerebral connection. I believe with fanatical practice you can do this. Just keep doing, Brotha. 4th; limit the cursing.

i thought u were gonna make it a video response to my vid :) haha

Thank you, Brotha. Remember, it ain't just about the Old School, but it is what make the Old School and True School Hip Hop culture. It is about being transparent, being real, being about people, and about real life. It was always about making something out of nothing and getting out of bad situations, and not glorifying materialism. We make money-not money make us!

Peace to Cocoa 125! Believe me, when me and the crew made this joint we honestly had you in mind. All of the pioneers and the people of Hip Hop before 1985 were in our hearts for this dedication. Without you there would have been no Golden Age or evolution of the culture. Peace!

Who disliked? If you did you don't know what you were hearing or seeing! Nice accurate vid!

This is what real Hip Hop music sounds like. It is filled with passion and funk.

we had you in mind when we created this. This is a tribute to you and everyone else who loves and lives the culture. It is a gift.

I'm so glad I was born in NY...Why?!...Just.Because......NO PLACE LIKE IT...So nice they had 2 name it TWICE!!!..... ;)

fantastic, good history there, put tears in my eyes.braught me back to a better time in my life. i was there for it all from bgirling to block parties, i say get history from people that were there. hip hop is the constantly evolving spirit and consciousness of our urban youth but they are trying to dilute it. its time we stick together. big ups on this!

the old school...the 80, the best.

4:16:God!is that Diana ross, the queen of soul herself, didn't know she was down with the Bronx b boy flavour back in the day,if that's her of course,it sure does look like her

REAL MUSIC, REAL HIP HOP, respect from Italy...lovin' the old school!

Correction those who disliked didn't understand real hip hop

This is the best megamix of old school rap that I heard!!! Compliments!!! Greetings from Rome!!!

支柱をアレックスありがとう! 日本は点Hip Hopの根そして文化にしがみつくための腹を立てる。 あなたのB男の子、DJs、落書きの作家およびMCSはドープ塗料である。 ありがとう! Alex said "everything is ideal" in Japanese to English. Thank you Alex for the props! Japan gets mad respect for holding on to the roots and culture of Hip Hop. Your B-Boys, DJs, Graffiti Writers, and MCS are dope as hell. Thank you!

Sara, said in Japanese: It is groovy enormously! To Sara: Thank you! You and Ryusei for building on the future of the Hip Hop culture. Love and respect to your whole family! Translation to Japanese: サラに。 いいえ、ありがとう! Hip Hop文化の未来に造ることのためのあなたそしてRyusei。 あなたの家族全員への愛そして点!

Mr. Nokoremi's English translation from Japanese is "I am too splendid !!!!" Thank you, Brother, for enjoying this video and mix! Tell all of your brothers in Japan for us! Peace, my Brother! translation to Japanese: ありがとうございます、牧師さんよ、このビデオと混合を楽しむことに対して！ 我々のために日本であなたのすべての兄弟に話してください！ 平和、私の牧師！

This is the secret music of all people in the world!

Scenario Remix from A Tribe Called Quest. The actual groove is from Kool and the Gang's Album Music is the Message, but I forget which song. Could be Soul Vibrations. You can still get B Side Wins Again from Public Enemy off of Fear of a Black Planet but that added a reverse dub bass line for the album. The original is dirtier and more demo raw sounding. Straight gutter dope. I forget what the original break beat is call. I have to ask GrandSinister Ice. He loves cutting up those old breaks.

Tell your peoples that this video is dedicated to them as well as yourself. We put the effort in this joint and website to promote the passion and love for the Hip Hop Culture AND its people. We are serious about this. No hype. We were thinking about the original brothers and sisters, like yourself, you started this. I am personally honored that it took you back in the day...and today we are back from that way!

It is a voice of culture indeed. Remember Hip Hop is more than just music. It was created by all forms of ethnicity especially black people and hispanics. Poor whites of all backgrounds and religious groups, too. Pan-Africans, Asians South Americans, and Arabs are now taking it to broader level. No matter what your culture is, Hip Hop can interweave in it and reflect upon it when you make it your own. Peace to all my Czech Hip Hop Brothas!

I believe people will rock authentic Hip Hop music and culture, the problem is mainly in the United States where everything is overly marketed. The USA killed B-Boying in the 80s by market saturation to kids who had no understanding this was an artistic cultural dance and sport. B-Boying played out in Pop Culture back then, but thank God the Europeans, Asians, and South Americans stayed with it and evolved the game. Thank God the kids from the inner cities in the USA kept it going in small crews

Thank you for make this video a favorite! Here is the deal; authentic Hip Hop culture is not dead, and Old School Hip Hop is actually any style of Hip Hop that was mostly present prior a generation to anyone. For me the L Brothers and Disco King Mario are Old School to me where as Run DMC may be old school to someone born in 1991. So that answer is only based on your perception. It is only unpopular to people who are only trendy. Outside of the USA, Hip Hop culture is alive and well in respect.

some people wanted to know how did QBall edit the pics on beat to the tracks. After he created a track for the pics and audio, he simply tapped the marker hot-key on the keyboard to the beat. sometimes on the down beat, the quarter, the half, and the sixteenth. sometimes on a sound as well like a rhythm cut or scratch. then he zooms in on the audio algorithm and tightens up where the marker should cut on the audio by using his eyes and ears. everything was first based on rhythm then by sight.

Schoolly D has a pic on there as a street flyer. The Beasties missed out only as a pic. They will more than likely be on the next piece. If you read the ticker tape they are accredited. Remember this is dedicated to all the pioneers of Hip Hop culture up to 1985 before the Golden Age began. If anyone has noticed Malcolm Mclaren was never mentioned. He was just a pop culture pimping sucka! Buffalo Gals was a gimmick and a poison to how Hip Hop was portrayed as a novelty.

That is a combo call and response type situation between two songs. One is with Jay Z and Foxy Brown's "Ain't No Ni--a" playing off of EPMD's "It's My Thang". The main reason for mixing this segment was due to the infamous sample called "Seven Minutes of Funk" by the Whole Darn Family. The bassline lick is one of the sexiest breaks of all time. Very popular with DJs and MCs. You can find this sample on RU-vid btw.

In response to some songs being Funk; you are correct! Hip Hop's roots are based on rhythms from Funk (which is originally called Disco), Jazz, Latin Caribbean, West Indian, Old Rock, Soul, and Ethnic vibes. Hip Hop is Fusion from limited resources. When you do not have a band the DJ will "create one" to rock the parties. Unfortunately today's kids do not know Hip Hop culture history. And yes we need to bring the funk back! Graff Writers, DJs, B-Boys still got it, but rappers fell off!

At 1:40 was Melle Mel from a performance on an underground vinyl called Live Convention 82. The layer mixed underneath is a piece from Watch Out Now by The Beatnuts (bitten by Jennifer Lopez when she did Jenny On The Block.) The piece being cut up is Heaven and Hell; a famous old school break often heard from DJs way way back. Sorry I took a few days to answer. I had a busy weekend. Peace!

@ThePublicEnemyNo1 Thanks, Brother! We represent the Wild Wild West. You brothers have been taking the MC crown for the past several years with Murs, Jurassic, Heiros, and People Under The Stairs. Graff writers and B-Boys have been rocking the world for some time now too! Let us not get start on giving the DJs props! West Coast has been ruling tradition non stop!

Greatness comes from working with what you got. Your faithfulness with very little will truly define your success and greatness when you achieve working with alot. The only thing you need to pay is time, patience, creativity, experimenting, passion, and fun. Then share it with the world that waits for you!

Peace and Respect Giggles. Real Hip Hop Culture never died. It is simply pushed to the back of the bus thanks to the fake ass rap music and its rappers. Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and glam rappers are only pimping fake hood nonsense. As long as we are all still alive, and with the new generation of talent coming down the pipe, we will always be here.

# Scenario (Remix) by A Tribe Called Quest (bassline by Kool and the Gang) # B Side Wins Again by Public Enemy original version from flipside of Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos 12" original pressing And # How I Can Just Kill A Man by Cypress Hill # Piano riff from Worlds Famous by Malcolm McClaren and The World Famous Supreme Team

It depends how you sample. If it is a recognizable hook or melody and you intend to make a profit off publishing and sales then yes. If you chop it up and use techniques like filtering the sound then no. The skill is not to be so obvious, but if you choose to sample straight up then you got to pay the piper.

@GorillaGongo Tracklist has been posted above. Please click the drop down to grab the link to the track outline. Thank you for understanding. BTW. We hope you love the MegaMix Two which was launched today. Old School Scholar has completed renovations and back in effect!

@samrlopez Brother, to coin a proverb from Rakim, "It ain't where you from; it's where ya at!" It is your generation we are hoping you can change things back to fun and funk. There are many brothers and sisters today who are on fire. Just turn off the radio and music video!

GrandSinister Ice will be releasing mix two soon. We were going to drop it around Christmas but did not have the time honestly. Stay Tuned and go to Old School Scholar website for free downloads of our quick mixes and blends. Enjoy the break beat ringtones, too!

ooooo watch yo mouth. Thank you sista for coming out and showing love. I hope you have enjoyed our website. Our goal is to spread authentic Hip Hop culture insight and resources to our people. We are also open for the people to speak out and submit content for the world to see. Peace!

my bad. That beat is layered into the back ground from the original pressing of World Famous by Malcolm McLaren and The World Famous Supreme Team. The Piano and the Beat go together. You can find a copy on video on RU-vid. I checked for it already so do a basic search.

Thank you for checking us out. We will be delivering more as soon as GrandSinister Ice is done with his piece for Q Ball to lay down the video. Just for facts GrandSinister Ice was born in Stratford in the UK before he got his DJ skills way back in the day in Connecticut near NYC.

I think it is from George Duke if you are referring to the bassline with the piano key during the globe intro. I have to check with Q Ball when he gets a chance. That brother writes too much! If you are referring to the real megamix intro after the crowd sounds that is Christmas Rappin by Kurtis Blow.

yup i can say its great, his website is fantastic people, go check it out:)

Gracias, hermano. ¡Espero que usted haya disfrutado de nuestro Web site, también! ¡También se traduce en español!

@TresPerrosGuey Thank you! We wanted to remind our people where we came from and how we got here. We also wanted to show the new kids what the essence is all about. The sequel has been released today. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

@partofthepuzzle thanks to Google and Flickr and many wonderful underground websites we were able to find those pics. Did you see the sequel to that video yet? Part two debut today with another message. I hope we have exceeded or met your expectations!

Crash Crew - (Damn, I forgot the name of the track- I will call GrandSinister Ice later) Jazzy Sensation by Afrika Bambaataa and The Jazzy Five Live At The BBQ by Main Source A Touch Of Jazz by The Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff

No problem! We already did that at our website! Here is the link but you will have to copy paste it then edit the spaces in it because Yahoo hates spam. oldschoolscholar . com/old-school-scholar-mega-mix-one-audio-track-outline/

Word 4 life! Ladies like yourself made Hip Hop step up, step out, and shape it. I hope we all can collaborate one day. Have you been to OldSchoolScholar (.) com? We are dedicated to the true school and old school heads. This video was just a taste.

50 is cool, but he could not hang in the 80s and 90s. He would have to step up his lyric prowess. Me personally I do not own any of his music. I refuse to go out and buy Jello when I have steak in arm's reach.

I hope you got pictures of those jams back in the day. Have you ever seen the book Born in the Bronx? That shit is dope! All B/W photos by Joe Conzo who took pics and gathered photos from the early days in the parks and HS gyms.

Thank you. You enjoying the music and video is what this is all about. Feel free to download the megamix from OldSchoolScholar's audio page. We have also provided old school B-Boy break beats as ringtones. Enjoy!

I have the same recording you have plus L Brothers at 123. I also have two Flash and the Four MCs also from 1978. I know I have a 1977 somewhere. I think it is with DJ Hollywood and Disco King Mario. I need to check.

1:24 at this time u will see a picture of the first mc his name is (coke la rock) he started with (kool dj herc) kool herc was the dj and he were the mc in the begaining...true legennd right here

1:24 at this time u will see a picture of the first mc his name is (coke la rock) he started with (kool dj herc) kool herc was the dj and he were the mc in the begaining...true lend right here

@BronxisNr1 Unity Rap! You got that right! Most people do not know that cut. It is extremely rare! Our homeboy GrandSinister Ice still has a sweet copy of it to backspin. Thanks for looking out!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoying yourself, but easy on the spam, Brother. There is enough room here to chill and get props. The crowd here is more about culture than anything else. Peace.

No problem! Thanks for asking! Check our website and the previous comments. We answered alot of questions since May 2009. oldschoolscholar . com/old-school-scholar-mega-mix-one-audio-track-outline/

Swift! Brotha, you got some pieces in there I wanted to use one day! DOPE!!! I love the Ken Burns effect on the still shots! Who edited the video? I love classic documentary avant-guarde visuals.

Thanks, Brother! We need to bring back real mega-mixing! This dub edit stuff is not true to the essence. If anyone out there really loves Hip Hop culture, I advise them to go back to the roots!

Thank you, Brotha! I checked out your vid page, and remember having that Sparky D copy with the dope pink cover! I think GrandSinister Ice copped it off of me. I am going to see if I can boost it back!

@chinoroc Thanks, Chino. We true people of Hip Hop shall never forget where we came from. We just dropped the sequel to that video today. I hope we have exceeded or met your expecations!

@013CHAVEZ Sorry for the tardiness. That is JZ's first solo cut after leaving Jaz. Click the first link above in the description box. It has a full outline of each mix layered segment.

Emcee1Point is an MC on point. Simply said. Rick Ross could not contend with Chali2na if they were in a battle. Lil Wayne could not handle Big Daddy Kane if they battled. Nuff said.

We at Old School Scholar wish a Happy 36th Anniversary to the Might Universal Zulu Nation!!! Thank you for keeping the funk! Peace to Afrika Bambaataa, Zulu Kings, and world wide family!

That break beat you are inquiring about is called Jam On The Groove by Herbie Hancock. It is a pure Old School classic real Hip Hop DJs still cut up today. B-Boys love that one too!

there will be a outline provided very soon which will be posted on our website. the outline will detail each track layer at every time interval with artist and song name. peace.

Respect given and Respect received. All true school, all school heads should stay connected and unite our voices. Our consciousness is the authenticity of Hip Hop culture and music. Peace.

I spoke to DJ GrandSinister Ice about the mix with 8th Wonder and this is what the layers of that segment consists of. 1. 8th Wonder 2, Unity Rap (the beat) 3. Daisy Lady (the break beat)

That is 8th Wonder from the Sugar Hill Gang. The layer beneath, I think, is Funky Penguin when the vocals commence. I will double check with DJ GrandSinister Ice on the beat layer.

Hey, brother, If you do that let us know. We need to gather up all of the Old School tapes posted online and spread them out to everyone. Educate the masses what real parties were like!

We will do our best. We had another request last week on the website. Just give us some time. There is lots to upload. We even have the New Music Seminar battles from 1985 - 1989.

@Ghost3XHunter 20th Century Steel Band - Heaven and Hell is on Earth

what is the name of the tune at 4:40 please???

We are flattered. Wow. We created this video and mix as a tribute to the real heads, the pioneers, the true school of Hip Hop and its people. The underground speaks!

Yo, come to our site at oldschoolscholar (.) com. This mix and other mixes plus break beat ringtones are found on our audio page for free! Spread the love for Hip Hop baby!

No doubt. Timeless for those who never forgot their roots. This is the essence of Hip Hop culture and music. I hope you been to our site. This mix is a free download.

Tell your people's about the website. Spread the word and thank you for the props. We will be providing part two as soon as GrandSinister Ice shoots me the next megamix!
