I think it was the 90s the ushered in the best of hiphop and rnb music. Though, I still give due credit for the Sugarhill Gang who cemented the brand of hiphop and rap music into the mainstream.

Now they're just making songs that appeal to suburban teenagers. That's where the money is, after all, Illmatic was a commercial failure in comparison to a lot of his more mainstream stuff. My 14 year old cousin and all his friends are Lil Wayne fans. No rapper should have 14 year old fans. |

Hi ya'll. I was wondering if anyone could put together a compilation of hip hop tracks that span over the three decades discussed in this thread. I'd do it myself but I'm just not feeling up to it and then I thought why not ask a bunch of music addicts. Three songs minimum from each decade would be ideal and then songs can be added based on personal taste and/or public choice. It would be much appreciated. Also 90's HIP-HOP is the shiznit.

90's was the Golden Age of Hip Hop, which I can say with absolutely no doubt about it.

The 90s are my fave but I do like newer stuff too. Its hard to find current hiphop albums you can bump from start to finish nowadays.
|
I'm down with the cats out there still doing that 90s free style, lyrical rap today. I've never been a fan of radio rap. I can't find the time, when there are hundreds of lyrical geniuses out there with sick production...

Why's it matter if the artist is who he's depicting in his art?
It's fucking art. |
90s or todays rap seen as I've been exposed to that music.

IMO for all the pros of the 80s, and the jams from the early 2ks, you cannot beat the 90s, it had everything from Tupac to Will Smith. Golden age fosho.

OMG there's a none dang it option. Haha, I didn't bother looking at this topic. Just miss-clicked it. And there it was. DANG! :D.

My pick is the 90's but there is some good stuff from the 00's but it is harder to find than the good 90's stuff.
Also the whole nostalgia thing may be giving me some bias towards the 90's. |
Today's rap. The 90s was easier to find good rappers but rap these days is much more innovative, creative, diverse and well rounded.
Today's rap gets reduced to soundcloud artists unfairly when I don't think 1 soundcloud artist is as popular as a Kendrick or a Danny Brown or a Tyler, the Creator or an A$AP Rocky. I think the best thing that's happening with hip hop right now is the realization of all the freedom artists have to explore different sounds or genres that they can incorporate into their music. |
