this thread always poppin up lol
my favorite is late 80's golden age (Rakim G Rap KRS Kane PE NWA De La Geto Boys etc)- all styles of rap coexisted equally, never happened again
but outside that.....
90's- ? advanced the late 80's (Nas Redman Jay Big DMX, the south rise)
Early 2000's kept the 90's pace, a little watered down though (Eminem, 50, Kanye, Luda, TI)
Mid 2000's-today its watered down but not dead (Young Money Gucci Waka etc) -
uppin. tired of seein the same ? everytime i come in here.
i'd say 90's (pac, jay-z, ugk, dmx, fugees, nas, etc.) -
90's wins comftably
just off 1993 - 1995
Ressurection
Illmatic
Enter the Wu
Ready to Die

from 1993-2003
some of the best years.......i feel like crying -
after a long look.....................imma have to roll with the 2000s
i had to look and see. now the 90s had classics no doubt but most of them ? made one album then fell off. nobody was consistent and nothing really held your attention besides biggie and pac. the 2000s had a ? load of story lines and mostly everything that dropped was tough. and every coast was represented very well, way better than the other 2 eras
dre shut ? down from 2000-2003. nobody had a more dominant run than that. em, 50, snoop, kurupt, daz, ? even xzibit was smashing ? with dre and them.
eminem
snoop went and transformed himself into everybodys favorite rapper
jayz and nas beef was crazy
ja and 50
game brought the west back (with dre and the helm)
g unit was killing everything
fabolous
the neptunes production=massive hits
nelly made st. louis relevant
stankonia and speakerboxx/love below
^^^^^^^and most of that happened before 05 was over
then you got the south rising up with people like luda, ti, and jeezy at the front
they all dropped classic or 4 star albums
bun bs rise
cant forget about wayne flooding the streets with some of the greatest mixtapes ever
jay retired then came back while signing ross
usher
lil jon had everybody getting crunk
snap music (no matter what your opinion is on it, it helped rap commercially)
kanyes hands were all over the 2000s. hands down best producer of the decade
made common relevant again
mos def and the whole good music ? . completely changed the game
t-pain was on every hook
the new young guns of rap came up like wale, drake, cole, nipsey etc.
cant forget about the whole dipset movement. that ? was too crazy.
to me, commercially and skill wise, the 2000s are the most critical point of rap. rap is in every home now. everybody in the world knows at least one rap song and its mainly because of the 2000s. i know the 80s started it and the 90s made it timeless but the 2000s made it the monster it is today. and the crazy thing about it is that i know forgot some things that happened in the 2000s. so much classic ? was going on -
90's by far.
The lyrics by far out did the 80's and the production out did the 2000's i could be biased tho cuz i came of age in the late 90's so that era bring more memories then the other 2 -
80's was the foundation
90's was the best musically
00's was the best comercially
now we gotta see what the 10's have for us -
^ same as above. I think 90's was best era in terms of creativity and variety in hip-hop - from g-funk, gangsta rap, Native Tongues to mid 90's NY boom-bap and soulful movement lead by OkayPlayer. 80's introduced some of biggest talents and kicked the doors that opened for those who emerged in 90;s. Too much ? music, gimmick artists and stupid pseudo-beefs happened in 00's to even consider this era as good.
-
the 90s were the best of any of them
-
90s hands down.
-
90's
......... -
until hiphop is truly dead it will forever be trying to live up to the 90's.
I invite you to quote me and give some absurd justifcation why I'm wrong....we all know I'm right but ? it, I need to laugh so justify away.
