Our Favorite 80’s Hip Hop

Sugarhill Gang flows,

Rapper's Delight sweetly shows,

Hip hop's early prose.

Aerosmith, DMC,

Walk This Way, united spree,

Rock and rap decree.

Salt-N-Pepa's hit,

Push It, hips gyrating fit,

Irresistible spit.

Biz Markie's refrain,

Just a Friend, heartache's strain,

Love's humor, no gain.

Run-D.M.C.'s plea,

It's Tricky, rhythm decree,

Legendary decree.

Grandmaster's vision,

The Message, societal lesion,

Furious precision.

Heavy D's embrace,

Overweight Lover's heartfelt chase,

Love's warmth interlace.

Rob Base and E-Z Rock,

It Takes Two, party unlock,

Collaborative stock.

Big Daddy Kane's slick flow,

Smooth Operator, rhyme's glow,

Charisma on show.
