I don't remember the genre being called hip-hop back then. You had "rap", you had "R&B", and you had "house"...

GrandmasterFlash - The Roof is on Fire
I do not believe "The Roof Is On Fire" is not Grandmaster Flash. It is actually Rockmaster Scott and the Dynamic Three.
You get an "E" for Effort and a "T" for nice Try. Props for the other songs.
Public Enemy - Your Gonna Get Yours
Ultramaagnetic MC's - Ego Trippin'
Bid Daddy Kane - Raw
LL Cool J - I Can't Live Without My Radio

I listened and I'll pass on it.
Now that I think about, I think Mel Brooks and his Hitler Rap is the best '80s rap song of them all.
