not in music...hour long television dramas...00's is sh!ttin on the 80s with The Wire and Sopranos alone(x2)
@BrothaZay has a point, the 2000's is disgustingly underrated.
2000's fell off hard after 2004, but I sincerely believe 2000-2004's can stack up against any other 5 years in Hip Hop (1992-96 are the GOAT years).
A lot of 80's Hip Hop just hasn't aged well at all (Ice-T
) so if we're talking strictly rap music, I have to give it to the 2000's (keep in mind the first half of the 2000's produced quality mainstream Hip Hop, hardcore hip hop, neo-soul Hip Hop and underground/alternative Hip Hop like Madvillain and Del).
80's had Rick James, Prince, Sade, Michael fukking Jackson in his PRIME etc. so for overall black music I got to give it to the 80's.
80's has the worst fashion of all time so 2000's wins that category by default.

when did you start listening to rap music??
Casually around 1997-8 when I was a kid, and seriously around 2000
. 80's has several classics, but you can't convince me 2 Live Crew is quality music, or really any better than the Laffy Taffy era stuff. There's terrible music in every decade.I think people have a kneejerk reaction to call all new(er) music bad and most old music good.
