Thread for hip hop fans

The best songs/albums were recorded from 1990 - 95.

Agree or disagree?

i'd say the whole 90's... because in the later 90's you got biggies 2nd album (97) or dre's chronic 2001 ('99)... but the mid 90's is the best of that best hiphop decade.

It's just drivel right now, I'm sorry. So I tend to agree.

[brassmonkey]

no such thing as the best. its like saying a painting is better than another. it depends on your inner flava.

If Eminem rapped on his albums/singles the way he did in that Shady 2.0 cypher at the BET Awards, you could argue that he's better lyrically than anyone in the '90-'95 period.

Sadly, he and everyone else knows that, that stuff doesn't have mass appeal so it'll never happen.

collectively speaking - yes agree. but of course there have been some great albums pre and post golden era

i used to hold Em up as one of the GOATs but he's not even trying these days (and i believe he knows it)
