Pretty sure years like 1994 will be on these lists. Discuss

[MP.Trey]

88, 93, 94, 98, 00

[BlakFrankWhite]

88, 93, 94, 98, 00

Replace 93 with 96

[MP.Trey]

Replace 93 with 96

Fair. I think 88 and 00 are locks and you can really fill those other three spots with any part of the 90's depending on your preference.

88, 94, 96, 98, 00. Rap's at its' best is around 94-98 for me.

[NumberSix]

Consecutive years?

Explain yourself.

Explain yourself.

Man it isn't that hard to explain.... every two weeks there have been solid releases falling from the sky.... a lot of artists are dropping consistently good material and growing.

When you at the releases for this year, and we still got more to come...I'm just like holy **** this has been the best year for rap in some time.

Who hasn't dropped in the last ten months? All of the big names have dropped something outside of Kanye and Jay and they both have been cooking something up for years...

This is the year where I can wake up and hear that a legend has dropped an album literally overnight. Rappers are actually competing and the artform is alive again.

I made a thread about 1994 being the best year in Hip-Hop.
Than you have other important years like 1988, 1995, 1991, 1996.

As a five year run, I'd go 92-96.

[Just2McFly]

what specifically do you love from this year though? also when was the artform not alive?

i honestly had a huge post typed up and the shit logged me out... this site is so trash

Second tier guys from the past like Bobby Womack would shit on today's artist.

I'll go with '92 through '96. The 90's in general was the pinnacle of Hip-Hop. I was fortunate that it coincided with my HS/College years.
