80's vs 90's which era better music in rap

[BlackMajik]

Is this a serious question???

LMAO gtfoh

The 90s was clearly a lot better. Rapping had evolved past the 80s shyt

 

[L. Deezy]

so much individuality in the 80's. 90's just to lyrically advanced.


90's all day. GOAT era

 

[Wacky D]

in terms of the east coast, my vote goes to the '80s.
I feel like '90s east coast abandoned some of the elements of the '80s, basically opening the doors for other coasts to take their spot,

on the overall, I gotta go with the '90s cuz there were more different sub-genres and we had a lot more stars from all over the map.

I was born in 1998 so my opinion may be skewed to some

I've listened to 80s rappers and their rhymes sound really basic to me, no offense

People shyt on the new nikkas but the 80s dudes were spitting nursery rhymes for real, like I KNOW I could write something better, so it baffles me how people say the 80s were the "golden age"

The 90s definitely had hard rappers though, but the 80s seem really overrated to me

lyricists in the '80s were more advanced than most of the lyrical guys of today.

the '80s stuff you listened to, is either rappers that weren't considered lyrical or youre just listening with a closed mind.

also, a lot of the '90s rappers that get propped up by purists, really weren't that lyrical.

i agree wack like the shyt eminem gets credit for like mutli-syllabic rhymes and taking it it another level g rap kane rakim and them were doing that on a consistent since day one like it was nothing

'90s purists be feeling themselves too.

they claim '80s lyrics as ABC but then turn around & prop up '90s acts that were so-so with the lyrics.

dudes will prop up a tribe called quest, as if they wouldn't get raped trying to battle a lot of groups in the '80s.

like I said, I voted the '90s, but if we make this just about the east coast, give me the '80s.

All this Trap Rap u hear going on in 2017 was started by Nwa and Scarface in the 80's

it started with schooly d.

i agree wack like the shyt eminem gets credit for like mutli-syllabic rhymes and taking it it another level g rap kane rakim and them were doing that on a consistent since day one like it was nothing

yep

we can take it all the way back to threacherous three & them.

Eh if you're talking about valuing lyricism at a base level, like I do, then the 80's especially from 86-89 (though there were outliers in the earlier years as well), If you value production more than the 90's is the way to go, because production really hit a mecca at that point even if the lyricism didn't really advance so far past the Rakin, G-Rap, Kane era.

80s is trash.
90s> 2000s>2010s> 80s

 

[Wacky D]

the most Seminole rap records to this day came from the '80s.
the biggest jams
the biggest party-starters.

most of the best albums came from the '80s as well.

its a shame how all that royal history gets brushed to the wayside.

'80s production is better than the '90s.
much better if we just talk about the east.

best decades for production are the '80s and whatever we call this decade that we're in now........the '10s?

 

[JuvenileHell]

No disrespect to the 80s but the 90s was the apex of this shyt musically. 96 alone was chuck full of albums ranging from stellar to classic

 

[silk scarfs]

Is kool g rap considered 80s or 90s

That nikka was spittin bars that most battle rappers are spittin today

 

[kingofnyc]

hmmm...i'd switch 00's and 10's...that snap, do this dance wave of music from 05-09 was really fukking bad, and it seemed to make more noise than the quality shyt. right now i feel like all that stupid mumble, retard shyt is more niche with the better artists getting shine (whether you like them or not)

but u just cant ignore the greatness from 2000 - 2004

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

but u just cant ignore the greatness from 2000 - 2004

yea, i took that into consideration, but man...i feel like these got washed out due to how damn bad the rest of the music got and how greatly it was rewarded...swag surfing, soulja boy, laffy taffy, white t's, pop lock and drop it...nooooooooooo i mean i even fukk with lil jon but looking back some of that stuff from his run is cringeworthy

00's had higher highs, but the 10's on average feel a lot better to me

 

[SirBiatch]

but u just cant ignore the greatness from 2000 - 2004

nah
