I think for me it would be a tie between 90's and Today's.
I wouldn't be able to pick between the two, as I listen to about an equal amount of both.

At the moment I'd say 90s, but maybe I just haven't heard enough good stuff from the 00s.

Out of curiosity, why is the 90s option the only one that uses the term hip-hop?

the southern takeover of the early 2000s really hurt their chances. nothing touches that good old 90s New York hip hop. nas, jay, mobb deep, atcq, de la soul at their best

I was going to put in 90's, today's, and 80's all with -hip-hop on the suffix but it just seemed redundant

todays rap is the most eclectic (hope i'm using that word right)

You got the most range in styles and production, with rap that goes beyond simple spittin', crossing over into other genres.

I'd like to say i can get into 80's rap, but besides a couple artists, slick rick and rakim, it all sounds too dated for me to really dig into.

You think? I hate to say it but I feel like most of the stuff I'm hearing lately is kind of samey, with the only exceptions being new releases by artists that have been around for a while.

I think I back this 120%.

Southern Rap was taken far too seriously and sustained way too long. You also had some half decent california acts out there.
