Nope, New school is actually about age....It references any artist/group within the decade. It isn't about rapping style because there isn't two clearly defined styles called old school and new school, every emcee has a different style.....OutKast's first album dropped in 94, you could say they're from either era....de la soul and tribe aren't necessarily old school simply because of their longevity in the industry.
Their first couple of albums each could be considered "old school," but then they both have albums leading into the late 90s, and De La is still going strong....
