Old School Friday – Old School Hip Hop

The category for Old School Friday is “Old School Hip Hop.” It’s really not fair because there are just so many choices. I thought about Public Enemy, Boogie Down Productions, even M.C. Lyte. But I found something a little closer to home.

My old school joint hails from Houston, Texas – 5th Ward to be exact. It’s on of the top 3 or 4 rap songs of all time. I remember the first time I heard My Mind’s Playin’ Tricks on Me. I was in a dorm room at Prairie View A&M for a summer program in 1991. It was the summer leading into my senior year in high school.

Happy OSF!!!
