it's sad that hip hop isn't like this anymore, with the exception of underground hip hop. The boom bap style defined hip hop and with that raw NYC lyricism, and that introspection. NYC needs to go back to this format of hip hop because NYC is the Mecca of hip hop.

[@ToneDef2025]

[@aarmstrong110]

FACTS

[@gwise8095]

Not to mention artist lying in their lyrics

[@TheReviewSpace]

I personally feel hip hop peaked in 1994 as an overall culture, vibe, sound, music, production, diversity, and commercial accessibility without sacrificing artistic integrity. I think the main reason(s) why it died down in later years and oncoming decades were the deaths of important talent like Biggie, Pac, Eazy, and Big L. Then, you have the constant underrated status of many rappers and lack of longevity. There were so many acts like Bush Babees, Infinite, Rascalz, Lord Finesse, and AZ who just never became household names. Acts like Wu Tang, Pharcyde, Kool Keith, & Onyx pretty much peaked in the 90s, while others like Jay-Z and Eminem managed to push through the 2000s with greater success. By 2001-2004, you had 50 Cent, Ja Rule, Nelly, and Ludacris dominating the charts with their brand of mainstream bubblegum raps and catchy-but-irreverent party music. Veterans like DMX, Snoop, Dre, Xzibit, and Redman/Methodman were all either movie stars, video game characters, or tv show hosts, riding the train of crossover success. By 2005-2007, guys like Lil Wayne, T.I., and John Cena were making rap music and selling records to little kids. Fast forward to 2013-present day, and we have songs like "CoCo" by OT Genasis, Nicki Minaj "Anaconda", and Drake's "Started from the Bottom" as the most popular rap tracks of the past 2 years. I know cats like Kendrick, J.Cole. and Logic are trying but the scene between 1994 and 2014 is just not the same. I know hip hop *died* years ago, but to see its animated corpse still prancing around in rotted clothes is truly a pitiful sight to behold in 2015.

[@prestigeNgreat]

You know your stuff. I lived it and agree

[@prestigeNgreat]

Don't forget about the late 70-94 version of rap/hip hop. It has also trailed too. Whodini, Wrecks in Effect, and others paved the way.

[@chrismccabe1795]

i always debated with myself if it was 94 or 95. as far as albums that were classics. yes 94 was it. Nas- Illmatic, Biggie's Ready To Die, Gangstarr Hard To Earn. 93-96 were the best years in my opinion. By 96 i seen it start slippin, although still many great albums.
