Where's the line between Old School and New school?

[Tom Foolery]

Which old school you talking about? If you're talking "today's" music vs "when hip hop was better"...I'd say 2004 and earlier falls in the various buckets of old school, rap made a big shift in 2005 IMO, and that's where we are today. Of course there's real old school, like pioneer rap 79-86, golden era 87-95/96, shiny suit/platinum era 97-04...

Edit: these dates aren't set in stone, I can already see some argumentative poster coming in here on some "the golden era wasn't such and such...."

Chill

Old school 1979-2009
New school 2010-2015

1999 and before old school
2000 and after new school

This probably the closest to what I originally thought. I always thought of it as pre-2000 was "Old school" but 2006 and past as "New school" because I personally thought inbetween didn't have the feel for new or old, if you know what I mean?

Old school 70s-99

New school 2008-2015

*remembers the "uproar" when 106 and Park's old school joint of the day was a biggie song back in early to mid 2000s*

So you wouldn't consider any of the said artists new school?

i'd say 2004-ish and before is old school...the radio station that plays old school hip hop goes up to around that time...

i always considered post-Drake an entirely new era for some reason...
