What are some good hip hop songs that have that old school rap feel to them? This is kind of hard to explain, but I like rap acts like: Wu-Tang, The Roots, Cypress Hill,...and a few others.

I want some good songs from Jay-Z that have good flow and good beats, but not the stupid shit like Big Pimpin' or whatever else shit he has.

Know what I mean.
Are you too good to tango with the poor poor boys?

    "Old school rap" has that "old school rap feel"...little else does.

    Grandmaster Flash, Sugar Hill Gang, Big Daddy Kane, Public Enemy, Slick Rick, etc....

    I'd start there before I'd go anywhere else because nobody else does it quite so.

    Jurassic 5 are one of the only groups who genuinely have that old school feel
