1976, the best year in hip hop.....
Yeah, fam...49...I was with that 96 era though...that early mid 90’s era put out a lot of 5 mic albums...I’m sympathetic to 85-88 because I was in high school and that era was love...the first time I heard Rakim, it was like listening to God rhyming...then BDP just changed the landscape...and when Kool G Rap and Kane came out, shit was crazy...it repeated itself with some of the 90’s cats...they brought that vibe back...so I’m on the 80s because that was my shit and the 90s cats revived it, but I’ve got love for both eras
Exactly
Most pple are gonna gear toward what was the knock during jr high- high school yrs
ahem, 1997..
I will start off by saying is when B.I.G. was crowned the greatest rapper of all times! Life after death was released...
Puff Daddy's No Way Out dominated TV and radio with smash singles Missing You, All about the Benjamins, Victory,
Busta Rhymes - When Disaster Strikes!
It was the captivating conclusion to the infamous East Coast vs. West Coast beef! Everyone had their eye's/ears on Hip Hop!
1998..
DMX's debut album.. One of the most highest anticipated albums in hip hop next to 50, cent's debut and Busta's debut, and Snoop's debut!
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (whose record was recently broken)
Jay-Z's greatest album Hard knock Life vol. 2 (for those who say his whack ass first album) If you were alive during that time you weren't buying his 1st album like that, but this album was a must have. Nigga What, Hard knock Life (that Annie sample bro) You had to have been there when it dropped. Can I get a ! Might have launched Ja-Rule's whole career....! Resevoir Dogs! One of the greatest posse cuts of all time.
Juvenile 400 degrees ! All I gotta say is
"You don't go in the projects when it's dark ha
You claim you a thug and you ain't got no heart ha
You came in the Noila on New Year's Eve HA
You got stuck in that bitch and couldn't leave ha
It was hard for you to breathe ha"
97-98 was a very vivid and famous time for Hip Hop. I feel like that's when everyone,, not just Rap fans listened to it, but everyone!!! It was undeniable!
Good thread.
I still got a lot of the CDs of the albums posted in here.

Damn, I miss the 90s
Some good years here... You can't take out the 88 year... the magnitude was just too great in terms of what those albums met. I feel there was a steady climb in hip hop 94 was special and I feel there was a bit of a plateau in 95 and it stayed at that level for 96 and on for a while before it started going down....
Who shot ya came out in December in 94 2 days before the year was out and ROCKED HARD in 95.... So I'm a consider it 95....
Some greatness in 95 was:

1936, the greatest year in Hip Hop
What a great stretch of years from 87/88 - 96/97.
Interesting debates on which year was the best...
1988 was pivotal because rap as a genre took off that year and made it's presence felt nationwide. With the rappers boycotting the grammys that year to the advent of Yo MTv Raps.
Unfortunately, I don't think so. Someone made this as a software development project.Do they have this for R&B too?
The first half of the 90's were dope to me, back in 88' gotta admit, I was mostly a pop/ r&b head at the time, didn't really get into rap until 89/90.
This shit is tight... straight memories... I'm remembering like where I was or the times when each one takes the number one slot.... I like this...
Bumped for the continued discussion.
