The staff’s favorite old school hip-hop
More stories from Oludare Obadiya
From California Love to grimey New York streets, there’s nothing like old school hip hop. This playlist helps you imagine a simpler time when West Coast gangsters wore flannels, beat up Chuck Taylors and rapped over 70’s funk samples.
Staples like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg give you the party jams of a bygone era. Big Pun and Outcast keep it smooth with their punching wordplay and lyricism. And, let’s not forget the iconic Lauren Hill with a cut from her one and only album.

Oludare is a fourth-year journalism student and this is his fifth semester on The Spectator. He likes watching basketball and is pretty mediocre at it, but that doesn't stop him from playing it. He has a small but growing record collection and believes Woody Harrelson is a style icon and national treasure — fact not opinion.
