The new school of hip hop was a movement in hip hop music starting 1983–84 with the early records of Run-D.M.C. and LL Cool J. Like the hip hop preceding it it came predominately from New York City. The new school was initially characterized in form by drum machine led minimalism often tinged with elements of rock. It was notable for taunts and boasts about rapping and socio-political commentary both delivered in an aggressive self-assertive style.
