It depends. Im big into the production of music and i love the production of rap music. I just love all the possibilities of todays rap game. Sure its easy for anyone to make a quick buck off rap now, but with some really talented producers such as Pharrell and some really talented rappers, there is always possibility for some great rap today. I would pick 90's rap over **** like gucci maine and stuff like that. I can't put my finger on a song im really feeling right now, but with newer technology possibilities are at an all time high. Unfortunately the accessibility of the rap game now makes the ratio of great rappers to horrible rappers lop sided in favor of the lesser talented.

Although there are many great lyricists and producers who have put out good music exclusively in the 00's, I feel that any new artist I develop a liking of is only an extension of the 90's sound. Wordplay and production were at a unfathomable level in the 1990's, and it's the artists who've been able to maintain or imitate that level of creativity faithfully who have caught my eye.

I can't cast a vote on it simply because for me it's a mixture between 90s hip hop and todays underground. Both time periods had great artists like: A Tribe Called Quest, Digable Planets, Gangstarr, etc... during the 90s era and Talib Kweli, Cannibal Ox, Jurassic 5, etc... for 00s era.

Easily 90s.
- Low End Theory - Illmatic - Enter the Wu-Tang - Cuban Linx - etc... Personally, I find 80s rap to be dull and uninteresting. Of course it was extremely influential, but that doesn't mean it was necessarily good. For instance, Run-DMC is overrated in my opinion. |
