Batman Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 This is a tough call for me...I mean, the 90's was undeniably the best decade for mainstream rap, but when I look at my list of my favorite rap albums, so many of them are from this decade. They just aren't appreciated the same way good rap was appreciated in the 90's. For instance, I'll take MF DOOM over Biggie any day, but the fact that Biggie was really popular in the 90's and MF DOOM is only respected by music nerds definitely says something. I'm not going to vote yet but I'm interested to hear what others have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 When I think hip-hop I think Kurtis Blow ( ), Run-D.M.C, Salt´n Peppa, Ice-T, LL Cool J, break-dance. D-Js... Hip-hop was there in the mid seventies, as I can recall. The people I´ve mentioned were the ones that made it famous in the 80s... I didn´t follow them but I still associate hip-hop with the 80s.

TheLizard Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I had to say the 80s, but really it's the 80s through the early 90s. But there's been good and bad hiphop since hiphop was invented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I think 90s. I like quite some tunes from that time, and I don't like this decade at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious_Peaches Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 My first instinct is to automatically say the '80, because I was a homegirl and kicked it old school back in the day when it was still the new school. However, quite a lot of important and meaningful things have happened since my hey day. I'll have to think about it. Until then, enjoy some 80s goodness...

Ombre Vivante Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I had the black cassette single back in '89 and I taped the music video back then. Kid 'N Play, Kool Mo Dee, Grandmaster Flash, Digital Underground, Public Enemy - that's the stuff worth buying, listening, and dancing to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I finally decided to vote for the 90s, because that's when the German hip hop scene really developed [smaller](and before the kids thought it would be 'cool' to listen to "I f+#$%d yo momma" Gangsta Rap in the 00s )[/smaller] like so or so or so (mostly English lyrics in this one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
