THIS WAS THE SINGLE OF THE YEAR RIGHT HERE.

Thats to me when things started to dip

I'd say 05 or 06 is when shyt started to decline.

03 and 04 provided so much piff it still amazes me.

2002 was the last year where people were dropping the likes of God's Son, Blueprint II, A Gangsta and a Gentlemen, Aziatic, etc. That was the last real notable years in music.

2004 came close with the old NY guard making its last set of albums before the south took over 100%. When Nas, Jada, Ghostface, Banks, Cam'ron, Jim Jones, Cormega, Fab, Ma$e, and the rest of them were dropping and fighting the last stand of dominant NY artists.

i completely agree.

 

[the rhyme king]

i completely agree.

juelz santana had a near classic imo also in from me to u.

 

[Wacky D]

dipset had that year personally for me.

i was more of a state property guy thru most of the year, but dipset was on their heels.

then by the end of the year when i copped that "diplomats vs dblock" tape, i never looked back. thats the first time i heard "purple city byrd gang", "get em girls" and a bunch of other chit that basically flipped my hip-hop world upside down. that was my introduction to JR Writer as well.

It's 2006 IMO

2006 was the last good year. but it was far from memorable.
