I beg to differ, I think 97-02 was the last "golden era" of rap if you look at the scene overall. But then im only 40No one wants to say it
But 88 to 96’ were the last great years of Hip Hop across the board
After that it got watered down and janky
Not that there weren’t great albums but the movement got taken over by the suits and shyt became monkey see monkey do and business as usual and it went corporate
The whole culture shifted and just changed for the worse post 96’
