For me old school hip hop would be Grand Master Flash & the Furious Five, but that's probably not what Pacer is talking about. Chumbawamba had a pretty big hit with Tubthumping back in '98 but has done little since. Interestingly they are in league with the nefarious Negativland and on the same label Seeland that Negativland records on. They along with the KLF would be concidered musical pirates, cutting and pasting about anything to make a song.
I've been listening to Negativland's radio show called Over the Edge for years. A fascination 3 (and sometimes 5) hours. You might call it an audio montage.

Nice ones!   I would add Public Enemy and of course Run DMC!  

[Pacer]

Public enemy had some of the best lyrics and beats out back then. The last couple years I've been getting I guess introduced more to Run DMC because I don't remember that much from them other than the song My Adidas. I think they were mostly early eighties and I was too young probably.

Now that's some serious old old school lol. I didn't really start hearing their music until the early 90's and I think they were out in the late 70's early 80's right? Chumbawamba- I get knocked down them I get up again..... Pissing the night away. That's the song? I vaguely remember it.

How about Run DMC and Aerosmith together?    'Walk This Way'!

That's the song.
Pissing the night away; that must be due to the whiskey drink, the vodka drink, the lager drink and the cider drink.
I remember back in '82, playing pool in my barracks in Okinawa playing Grandmaster Flash's 'The Message' album and getting wierd looks from my darker green friends (to explain; in the Marines there were no whites, no blacks, no browns, only green).

If only the outside world were like that. But that's the miracle of music it brings people together regardless of background.

Oh Yeah!!! That song was killer, I think that was one of the first rap/rock musical fussions right? Or was that Blondie?

Weezer

Coldplay

Chumbawamba - UK band that's been around forever and made the "one hit wonder" list with the "pissing the night away" anthem in the late 1990s

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never gonna keep me down!

Rapture was more of a fusion of new wave/pop and rap, but during that time rap was in itself a fusion of styles. Take a backing track of whatever, and rap over it. 'Walk This Way' was only Run DMC's biggest and most successfull rap/rock song. They pretty much made a career over taking metal and rock riffs and creating raps over them. The first one I head was King Of Rock from a couple years before that.
Ice-T (yes the same Ice T from Law & Order SVU) mined the same field in a different way, with more of a rap/rock/punk esthetic. He was also in an extremely controversial rock/rap group called Body Count.

I actually shook his hand at a Lollapolooza concert and I bought a Body Count CD because I was in to that stuff.

One hit wonder, maybe on the radio, but the whole Tubthumping CD is cash money!  

You know who else should be mentioned at this time....................The Pogues..........great to drink to!

I was into the rap side. I had 6 in the Mornin' and Power, plus the original NWA (8 Ball etc...), but after that Gansta Rap took over and I lost interest (even though Ice T & NWA wrote the blueprint). What I liked about rap was the inventiveness and willingness to experiment. When NWA and Dr Dre took over and everyone else fell in line, I dropped out. A few forays with PM Dawn and Disposable Heroes of Hipopracy (speaking of Public Enemy), but in general I never went back to rap. I never really took to the heavier side of rap, or rock.

I'd have to say King of Rock was. Walk this Way was the first real crossover into serious airplay, but King of Rock predated it by a couple years.
