yo to me the 90's was glorious decade for hip hop if u came up like i did. And i'm not just talkin Big, or Pac, or Jay-Z. I'm talkin some of dem old school joints from rappers we ain't seent in years. some of the illest shit came out between like 92-98. Memba Ill & Al Scractch "I'll Take Her". Memba Common's "I Used To Love Her". Memba "Headbanger" by Hitsquad. Memba Outkast's first record, Wu Tang, Skillz, Big L, EPMD, and plenty more. What happened to the real hip hop for all u tru hip hop fans out there who feelin me on dis? What was your favorite year or years in hip hip? Talk to me.

I grew up the early 90's , to me that era was hip-hops best days.....Cypress Hill's first LP dropped , the Pharcydes's BizarreRydeToThePharcyde, Dre's Chronic , 36 Chambers, C-Bo's GAs Chamber, Tales From The Crypt, Autopsy, Lynch's 24 Deep, The Season....I can go on for days .......to me there aint gonna be an era like that ever again , thats when rap really took over

u guys are so lucky for who really got to grw up on the 90's cuz i was born in 1990 .... and i dont really remeber anything from grade school, i have the wrost memorey.... but i would love to be like my age right now (15) around 1992-93 ... that would be awsome

damn kid, shoulda been there. u prolly wouldn't even rememba EPMD's "You Gots to Chill" or Nice n Smooth's "Hip Hop Junkies"

I think Rap goes through what I call a TOPIC stage...

Mid to late 80s..Subject matter was based on political, social, and economic issues..

Early to mid 90s...Gangsta shit

Mid to late 90s...Mafia shit

Late 90s to Present...BLING-BLING!
